  1. @runtifus A couple who chooses a civil ceremony should also not be made to feel bad in any way. 

    Elders are specifically told NOT to offer their personal opinions.  This would also qualify as an area of personal choice. 

    The marriage of @James Thomas Rook Jr. Is as valid as someone who has 400 in attendance at an Assembly Hall or Branch. 

    I once performed a wedding at a Branch office with about 300 attending. A very elegant wedding and reception.  

    I first had to become licensed by the Staten to perform the wedding in the first place. 

  2. "And he will turn the hearts of fathers back toward sons, and the hearts of sons back toward fathers; so that I may not come and strike the earth, devoting it to destruction.”

  3. @Queen Esther I was always taught that our Theocratic culture supercedes any nationalistic or ethnic culture and traditions. This too I have seen change over time.

    Notice that Christians are called "OUT of every nation, tribe " etc. to go up to the mountain of Jehovah. 

    "Get OUT of her my people" refers to leaving behind the traditions of the world.

    "Quit being fashioned" after the world.

    I see a gradual assimilation and relaxation going on that disturbs me.

    Don't think large crowds cannot transgress simultaneously. The entire nation did it in front of a smoking literal mountain of Jehovah. 

  4. A quote reads: “as long as the Colosseum stands, so shall Rome; when the Colosseum falls, Rome shall fall; when Rome falls, so falls the world.” However, the Colosseum was not the arena in Rome, as other answers have pointed out - it was the name of a colossal statue of Nero known as the Colossus of Nero; the arena was called the Flavian Amphitheatre.

  5. This would have been unthinkable back in Fred Franz's day...... he would have quoted Moses when coming down from the mountain to hear a different type of music.....
