You're not serious. What if your bride's maid has any disability?

Bros, dem no dey buy girls na. Marriage no easy like that

saaedlee:
Op ur story try sha, buh na lie

It's true, sir

This may sound funny but it really happened in one wedding ceremony I attended in Ogbohill, Aba. It was my friend's elder brother. He had just returned from Austria to wed a girl who is barely 20, the handiwork of the mamas. I gathered from my friend that his brother had been sending money home to the girl's parents . . .another story had it that he even helped renovate their dilapidated house. So on the D-Day, the stage was set, DJ doing his thing gently, hall already filled with people in shiny clothes. I was sitting next to my friend when his brother, the groom, and his best man marched in. A different car had brought them to the marriage ground. The bride, they said, was on her way; they blamed it on the traffic. 20 minutes later, still no show, and I could see the groom walking out of the hall, making a call and looking worried. He came back ten minutes later, wearing the faint smile of a loser, and said loudly, "Eat and drink, my people. We're all here to party, aren't we? So, please, don't be disturbed about what just happened. DJ.." he signaled "more music!". It was then the MC made the announcement. The little bride had run away! She took off while still in her wedding gown and none of the bride's maids could stop her. Was it planned?
So what would you do if the same happened to you, be you the groom or the bride?

I've visited the sites, but why I'm more inclined to go with the one PaulGrundy posted is that the writer states facts and criticizes the JW doctrines in a very plain manner. Well, I'm still more interested on the memorial celebration, and from my read I discovered that those who are qualified to eat the bread and wine are:
* 144,000 in number
* referred to as the 'other sheep'
* also termed the 'little flock' (the rest, unnumbered, who will live on earth, are the called 'The Great Crowd').
One thing I can't say for sure is whether the number is really figurative, as the writer claims, or literal, as the JW want us to believe. I learned the count started some 2,000 years ago, and based on the statistics of partakers it ought to be complete by now. Although, they said some stopped partaking when they discovered they did it out of error, and were replaced; but, all the same, 2,000 years is enough time to make up this number.
I don't like arguing or debating over biblical terms to avoid offending God. So I'll leave it like that.

Goats for real?

Ok, Naijaclinic, it was the commemoration of Christ's death. I was just kind of stunned that it fell on Easter Friday, as I'm aware that your religion doesn't celebrate Easter.
Omofairy, thanks too, I'll look it up

I guess nobody can answer my question

This question came to mind after attending with the Witnesses yesterday evening in one program they held for Christ's resurrection. I was given the invite one Sunday, after they preached to me, and since I was less busy yesterday, I decided to go. They shared wine and bread but nobody touched it. According to the preacher, you must access yourself very well to know if you're qualified to eat and drink of those emblems or not; they're said to represent the blood and flesh of Christ. Anyway, my main point is that before now, I've heard them say they don't celebrate Easter.
So can someone, preferably, a J. Witness explain what happened yesterday. Is it a coincidence or a change of religious belief?

That last pic

That outrageous purple cammo scheme

What scheme?

Marpol:
That's because you don't know him. Hunting is his hobby. So your guess is as good as mine.

Alright

It's strange to imagine WS living in this kind of house. So African, you may say, but it looks lonely and kind of unprotected. No neighbours close by, and the surrounding bushes can attract wild animals

He wanted abortion but she wanted the baby? That man should not be forgiven!
