  Hats Off in the House !!!

  call me crazy or what, but theres a recurring issue that i have regarding my son's wish to wear his hat in the house.

  i've never been certain regarding the reason men were to remove their hats when petitioning the almighty, the issue of headship and being respectful of it and the common custom in the west for a man to remove the hat upon entering one's home or church.

  even in the military during basic training, the issue with regard to hats was a predominating theme, to the degree that we were taught that at the instant your head was no longer covered by a building of some sort, your hat was to be immediately placed upon your head, but once open sky no longer covered your head and you walked into a building of any type, that hat was to be removed !!

  Hmmm I misread your post LOL Why would a hat matter in your house, I could see in someone elses home respect and all that. But can't your son relax in his house. My son won't wear his cover or piss-cutter in the house (that is what they call it) but he wears his baseball cap or his hat anytime...geesh H-O-M-E

  Why do some people post things that they did not write ... ????

  who do some people post things that they did not write and do not give credit to the original source?

  so ... maybe you don't know who the original source is.

  maybe you got it in an email that has forwarded and then forwarded a zillion times.

  JWs and charitable work

  by kj in

  2. friends

  i've read on here several times about how jws are discouraged for doing charitable work for anybody other than jws, and that they are discouraged from contributing financially to non-jw charities.

  are there some references to this in their literature that someone could point me to?.

  also, i had a discussion with a jw about a recent relief effort some jws did in florida.

  Here in KC when the tornado hit, the JWs did the same thing. They only helped the Dubs and did nothing for the others...how charitable is that?
