AboutBrenda Martin Expertise I have been one of Jehovah`s Witneses now for over 30 years, in those years I have brought up 4 children, teaching each of them the bible.Being one of Jehovah`s Witnesses has helped me cope with my Epilepsy and bring up a daughter with learning difficulties.I have conducted bible studies with people from nearly every denomination i.e. Muslim. Having used the bible all these years to answer peoples questions, I feel I am qualified to give any answer regarding Jehovah`s Witnesses and the bible.
Experience My experience has been one of attending bible lectures 5 times a week,taking part in these lectures in front of an audience and being with thousands of J.W. at conventions where I have seen the bible at work in peoples lives.It is truly a miracle when you see thousands of people meeting together and not one policeman needed, and not even a piece of litter in sight.It is like another world.
Question hi Brenda!
my name is Rachel, and i am very excited because i am going to be baptised a Jehovah's Witness within the next couple of months. nothing has brought me greater joy than being welcomed into this community. i am about to attend the wedding of a good friend's sister, and realized that i never asked if the bride was suppossed to wear a white dress...the subject was never brought up, and i never thought to ask. i am too embarrassed to ask anyone, so maybe you can help? thank you in advance!
Answer HI Rachel, you asked--"BRIDE SUPPOSED TO WEAR A WHITE DRESS?"
There is nothing in the bible regarding the colour of the dress, white symbolises purity (or used to) so when someone years ago got married in white it meant they were still a virgin. That is sadly not the case today; many women (in the world) get married in white, even when they are visibly pregnant.
