They will never stop knocking on my gate every Sunday!!!


Funny thing there is, I hate their guys but I like their ladies!!!...


One light skinned JW lady who's very devoted into preaching every Sunday has suddenly become tanned and displeasing to the eyes....

They can marry outside their circle but will not abandon their faith and beliv.

una beliefs are weird... I can't cope with such from any woman

Jw marry themselves. Marrying outside the fellowship is seen as a taboo. Coming to the question of marrying a JW, I can't because we don't share the same believes or doctrines. Yes it possible to marry a JW if you convert to their beliefs. A JW will never marry a non JW except one party converts to become JW. That is how their fellowship operates

JW is a cult. They cause division in the church. They only want to preach to you, but are not ready to accept yours. Now people don't listen to them anymore not even to collect their magazines for free. How would you marry such people. It would be regarded as marrying unbelievers

You do not have to lie to look good. You were once a member and you cannot prove it by your line of thought. The question did not ask for details,
just give an answer and be forthright. You also deviated to blood transfusion. If you have any hate to spill, open a thread and spill your heart out.
Dashing a cheap and unsolicited blow is petty.

Why did you call the JW a cult? Is it because they come to preach to you or because they hand out a magazine to you?

i only told u what i witnessed sir, i don't know if the have changed or not, bt if i wronged u for speaking what i know, so sorry about that sir.

Before you establish a matter, you have to know the facts. There is a genre of criticism known as objective criticism. You overstepped that bound and that shows the biased standing that you have as regards the JW. I mean think about it, the question was clear and precise and same is required for the expected answers. You went as far as telling a lie that our sisters do not share our doctrine regarding blood. That was misleading, bro. We are in a religious section and we expected to have sincere Christians in here.

If you speak what you witnessed, then it means that you weren't a member. Members practice their own doctrines and not stand at the corner to witness. If you were a member, it would show.

All hail you. A member of 3 years! You attended our meetings, bro and probably slept throughout the talks. Just state the facts because you do not sound like an ex-member. You can proceed with your blasphemy but it does not hurt anyone of us. We are running the race set before us.

2. Dictate where, how, and with whom the member lives and associates or isolates: constantly teaches non jws and ex jws are worldly, wicked and unrighteous so members should not associate with them



3. When, how and with whom the member has sex:

4. Control types of clothing and hairstyles: you must where suit and tie: a pagan dressing or cut your hair and shave beard: a roman hairstyle

5. Financial exploitation, manipulation or dependence: donate bonds, stock, real estate, jewelry, money to watchtower. No higher education so no sense to think critically

6. Restrict leisure, entertainment, vacation time: meetings 3x a week, you must distribute magazines or preach while on holiday


7.Major time spent with group indoctrination and rituals and/or self indoctrination including the Internet



7. Permission required for major decisions: permission to marry, permission to receive blood transfusion


8. Thoughts, feelings, and activities (of self and others) reported to superiors : elders are policemen, judges, lawyers, prosecutors. They Hold kangaroo court called judicial committee

10. Discourage individualism, encourage group-think: eg independent thinking is bad

Your a jw why bother asking dis question, you should be providing answers

We do not owe you answers. We do not answer to you either. We have been given an assignment by Jesus and that is what we do. The whole world knows us for obeying the command that Jesus gave, to preach. I should provide answers to 'IF A JW CAN MARRY A JW'? Isn't that a joke?

Can you show us using the Bible, the definition of a cult? This is a religious forum and I urge you to show me in your Bible where Jesus or the apostles used the word 'cult' to address a certain group of people. I would want to see that if truly you are a follower of Jesus.

My definition of being good is being good. Joining a particular religion doesn't make you good and it doesn't make you bad either.

He said he would rather marry a lady that attends Sabbath Church. It doesn't mean jw ladies are bad or it doesn't mean Sabbath ladies are good either. It's just his preference.

Do not respond with a question. Be well-mannered and follow the principle of conversation. I asked a question and you should respond with an answer, not another question.
You typed some blasphemous lies above and all I asked was Bible verses to buttress your copy and paste comment. Am I having that or not?
