i'm a new person here and i have a question about a family member.
hopefully, you can help and i will appreciate any and all answers.
if a man marries a jw gal and the jw gal cannot get her husband to convert (he has no interest in joining, but supports her beliefs), will the jw gal be "looked down upon" by her kh?
Unfortunatley for him, he will always be treated by her friends as a project.
He will forever ( until conversion ) be known to others in her "group" as the unbelieving husband
He will always be talked about within her circles as " hopefully one day he will be in the truth"
Yes, as long as she is a jw, there will be a gap between them that will never close unless he converts or she leaves. Unfortunatley this is the way it works within this religion.
do you ever wonder why jw's are the most ridiculed?
they are made fun of more than any other religion.
it makes me think about jesus and how he was persecuted and ridiculed for being righteous.
Re: First question: Why are JW's ridiculed so much?
Actually they're not. It's all in your mind.
Society couldn't give a rat's ass about Jehovah's Witnesses. You just happen to believe everything you are taught. Oh to be young and gullible.
i found this topic on handshakes.
it made me think of the witnesses who give so many handshakes.

Hopefully twenty dollars.

the ancient isrealites had about 600 rules in the mosaic law which they had to keep.. i reckon that jw's are expected to keep more rules than that.. what's your favourite??.
to start off how about...... you must not have a beard.
There are soooooooooooo many.
- Do not walk in the hallways during the assembly.
- Arrive at least 10 minutes early before the meeting for "wholesome association"
- Do not chew gum during the meetings
I could go on forever.
another email from a very confused jw: .

Let him know that the society is thinking of its young ones and will soon have a tract published entitled " Masturbation - why did Satan make it so pleasurable?"
i had posted some of this on another thread, when i thought it might be fun to have a thread of "what is actually going thru people's minds" when they are sitting there at the memorial...
"i don't care what mom says, i'm never going to this dumb thing again.
she could at least let me have my gameboy if she's going to make me come to these dumb things.
Wow, that sister in front of me sure has a great ass. I'm really glad I chose this seat.
.
the bible gives faith a very high value and make faith in god a virtue that is rewarded with everlasting life.
this,,, is what gives the bible strong power,,, over the mind causeing it not to think clearly and see the clever control faith is.
Faith in such enoromous things is very inhumane and unnatural.
Never would an intelligent God and Creator ask for such a thing from his creatures.
Hi baby
anyone going to the memorial this coming weekend?
i didnt want to, but my wife does.
i guess i will end up going....anyone else?
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
