  If she believes what the Witnesses teach, she will believe that you are going to be killed at Armageddon. If she is active in the congregation, she may be angry at you because you're not "serving Jehovah and taking care of the family the way husbands should," (going to the meetings, out in service, etc.). Or she may be very sad because of it, or she may feel she's better than you because you're in "the world." Or maybe all three. None of these will make your marriage happy.

  You may think she would never feel this way, but these are the feelings of many Witness women who have "unbelieving mates"--and an "unbelieving mate" is what you will be in Witness eyes.

  Jack Ashenback died a few years ago, either in Florida or South Carolina. He had Alzheimer's disease, early-onset, I believe.

  JW Sister: raped, pregnant what does she do?, abortion or adoption?

  by Olivia Wilde in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this question came out frequently from a situation known to some of us who knew of 2 cases.... if a single or married sister gets rapped by stranger or incest, a pregnancy results, she is not allowed to have an abortion but neither is she allowed to give it up for adoption?...i always question why not up for adoption?...

  no you will be blood guilty because the child won't be raised in the "truth"... hmmmmm does anyone heard of that?

  is it a matter of consciousness?

  If I remember correctly, it wasn't a conscience matter, at least not years ago. The mother would be responsible for seeing that the child would be brought up properly. I think that even having other Witnesses adopt the baby would not be an option because there would be no guarantee that they would remain faithful.

  Maybe I missed the answer, but I haven't seen what the changes regarding Ezekiel are. Has the meaning of the mark changed?

  The OP said the CO's visit would be reduced to 4 days instead of 6 and would take place 3 times a year. Did that happen?

  I wonder if all who are in the school (incl. children and less-skilled speakers) will do the demonstrations or if it will be only those who would qualify to give demonstrations in the Service Meeting.
