Was an elder once: I remember in my congregation a ministerial servant that had a non-witness wife was removed from his position due to having hit his wife. She later did become a witness though.

The same happened in Denmark quite a few years ago. I remember because it was reported on in a major newspaper in Norway. The newspaper stated that they had read Crisis of Conscience. -

Do Kingdom Hall congregations communicate with each other?
by Faithful Witness inwhen asked, my mom denies that they do.... do local congregations pass along gossip or reports on householders in the area?
specifically, i am wondering if they might report on (unbaptized) family members that live in other towns?.
since the abrupt ending of my bs with miss k, i have not heard from the jw's at all.

Jehovah’s witnesses are not the brightest?
What kind of remark is that???
Although they belong to a religion that the vast majority here has abandoned, it is not fair to brand the adherents that way, although WT at times do publish somewhat out of proportion remarks about other groups than themselves..

But not in all Nordic countries. I think it is only accepted in Denmark. I have also heard that the Netherlands accept beards as well as Ireland... But I know for sure Denmark does. It not acceptable for elders in Norway to have beards and even moustache. -
