at the end of virtually every conversation is stated, i'll pray for her or some other mention of divine request.. in the other corner are the multitide of jw's i've known and helped over the years.

no mention of prayers.. i know it's obvious but the love from heritics clearly out paces "the friends".. i'm just annoyed that's all.. .

If you were ever a JW or a member of another cult you'd understand. They have an intense fear of outsiders, and any religious practice (even praying) by a non-JW is not viewed in a positive light. After all, only JWs are the right religion. Everyone else is worshipping Satan.

...and their names are not written in the Book Of Life :(

Isn't that for God to decide?

What UNUSUAL MARRIAGES have you seen among JW's?

by BonaFide in

jw
friends

these are couples that i know personally.. a brother i know married a sister 36 years older than him.

he was 35, she was 71. they are still married 5 years later.

they do not get along, and they make that known to the entire hall.. a brother that has been married twice and is 50 years old recently married a 19-year old.

Heh, I knew a pair that got married...must have been almost exactly those ages. I also remember him saying how "the sex is good." He was a bit strange, to say the least.

I know one local Christian who always insists on praying with JWs when they come to her door.

And I'm sure it makes them very uncomfortable, assuming they even stay around for it!

I remember one time my (now ex) wife and I had dinner at a coworkers house. We were still JWs at the time. My coworker said a prayer before dinner. It was a little awkward, but I didn't see it as a huge deal. My wife freaked out (after we got home, thank goodness) and equated it to "interfaith." She was furious when I suggested she may be overreacting.
