i have wonderful spiritual friends who want to get married, but the brothers always pick the rebelious girls. If you are a brother you cant deny it. My friends are in their 30's, lonely. Why do the brothers do this to the spiritual sisters?

In all honesty, truly spiritual sisters wouldn't want a brother like that. They look for brothers who are spiritual and have spiritual qualifications. The best place to find these kinds of brothers is volunteering at conventions and assemblies as well as the volunteer with the Regional Building Committee to work on Kingdom Hall builds. This also demonstrates the spirituality of the sisters as well.

I answered the question you gave a link to. Honestly it isn't true that the brothers "always" pick the rebellious sisters. Here was my response to the other question.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Honestly, as a general rule people go after the mate they are attracted to. What is attractive, however, is VERY subjective.

If you think we are cultists, why the curiosity?

I personally am not looking for a mate, period. If I were to look for one, my tastes might not be the same as someone else's, a simple fact of life. At times people don't find "the one" till they are in their 50's or later. It isn't always easy.

I personally firmly believe that if someone wants to be desired as a potential mate, they should be desirable, in a spiritual way.

Example, if someone wants to find someone with a good heart, then they need to try to have one themselves, and need to look at other's based on that, more than based on their waist or wallet size.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Choosing a sister to pursue as a mate is in no way doing something mean to other sisters. Consider there are some sisters who are NOT even pursuing marraige. Should brothers accuse them of doing this out of spite??

It's the same everywhere, and you can't deny it, good-looking guys get lots of girls fawning over them as well. So, it's a two-way street. Maybe your friend isn't looking for the right guy. They're pretty shallow if you ask me. Why would she want that kind of guy? Go on a trip and meet new people. Mix it up a bit Don't make your routine this: church, home, grocery shopping, home, work, home, church, home.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not refer to themselves as "Jehovah Witnesses", but generally do not bother to correct outsiders when they use the incorrect term. It would be very unusual for an actual Witness to use the term "Jehovah Witness", especially in writing.

In any event...
This questioner might comment upon her own experiences with single male Witnesses, but on what basis does she presume to judge the millions of others she does not know?

In many or most areas, it is true that there are more females than males in a typical congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. But it is certainly not true that "brothers always pick the rebellious girls", and in fact it seems likely that such relationships represent a clear minority among Jehovah's Witnesses.

Jehovah's Witnesses understand the bible to teach that the husband is the head of his family, in spiritual, personal, and practical matters. Why would any potential husband seek out a person who would disrespect him and rebel against his God-given authority?

There are certainly many faithful women among Jehovah's Witnesses who would like the companionship, physical relationship, and emotional support that comes with a godly marriage. Most of these women understand what the bible teaches about marrying "in the Lord", and resolve that any groom of theirs must be a fellow member of the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.

All of Jehovah's Witnesses understand that the discouragements they feel in this system will be overwhelmed by the joys and blessings of the next.

do what you got to do
it's evolutionary..
i know lots in and out and back in who pick a mate because he's there, not because he's spiritual.. it's human nature, and to deny yourself leads to searching in stupid places like here, for what?
you want a husband and the faith? do what you need to do..
denying your natural inclinations is obviously leading to mental anguish
what guy isnt going to hold out for a beautiful young virgin who believes she is stuck with a guy unless he cheats?

Keep in prayer sister..This sounds like a hard time for you, If you are Gay, it wouldn't matter if 100 wonderful men were beating down your door, would it?

Don't mind Line Dancer, we are all use to her being a little bit cranky here.

You have questions, ask away.

If you really are one of Jehovah's Witnesses, why are you posting such a question like that here? Already, an apostate is trying to get you to go along with her twisted thinking.

This forum is not the place for a question like yours.
