Can a non Jehovah's Witness female be a bridesmaid in a Jehovah's Witness wedding?
I have seen it occur on one occasion, and cannot find anything in Watchtower literature to say no. Answer 2: All of Jehovah's Witness aim to not offend others and show love of neighbor. However, our first priority is to honor Almighty God Jehovah. It is a personal decision to make but in order for a wedding to take place at a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Elder body would have to give approval. See Jehovah's Witnesses official website for the 11/15/07 Watchtower "Questions from Readers."
What gifts can Jehovah Witness accept and for what reasons if any?
Jehovah's Witnesses are like anyone else. We enjoy giving and receiving gifts. With that in mind, JW's do not accept or give gifts that are associated with religious or nationalistic holidays, nor do we accept or give birthday gifts. Gifts for wedding, maternity, house warming, or gifts just for the sake of giving are no problem. RELATED QUESTIONDo Jehovah
