Is an existing marriage between a Seventh-day Adventist and a non-Adventist allowed to continue?
Of course! God HATES divorce. the bible is pretty clear on this too, if your spouse is still willing to live with you if you are a christian and they are not then do not leave them! I am an SDA married to a non believer. But I will tell you it's better to be married to a christian at the very least. Cause there is conflict in the marriage, or can be. Just pray to God that you can be a witness to your spouse and children that you have. Even if it is the silent witness. God bless!

Does the Roman Catholic church recognize a marriage not performed by a justice of the peace?
i don't think so yAnswerThe Roman Catholic Church recognizes all validly performed marriages. If the individuals are baptised Catholics then their marriage must be performed with a priest as witness, normally. But it is the two people who contract the marriage, the witness and blessing is a matter of canon law, not necessarily validility. Two non-Catholic baptised Christians validly contract marriage. Non-baptised non-Christians validily contract marriage with each other. I'm not really sure if that answers your question, as I'm not really sure what you are asking. If you are asking if a marriage contracted by two Catholics is valid if it is performed by a justice of the peace: under normal circumstances, no, unless special permission was had before hand from their bishop.
What celebrities are Jehovahs witnesses?
Jehovah's Witnesses have no celebrities. Jehovah's Witnesses do not recognize anyone as celebrities. We consider no one as 'famous'.If non-witnesses consider someone who is one of Jehovah's Witnesses as a celebrity, we would have no knowledge of their views.Perhaps this is where a non-Witness can provide a list of those they consider a celebrity, that also happens to be a Witness. But we could not confirm whether they really are a Witness or not. We keep no such records.

Can Catholic deacons witness holy matrimony at non-Catholic churches?
If by "witness" you mean act in their official position as a representative of the Catholic Church in witnessing a marriage, then certainly not. Firstly, a Catholic priest is the ordinary witness to a marriage, a deacon would only be fitting in extraordinary circumstances, which are not here present. Secondly, a member of the Catholic hierarchy has no jurisdiction outside of the Catholic Church or over Non-Catholics. While it is true that all those who are validly baptized are baptized as Catholics, Protestants have deliberately removed themselves from the unity of the Catholic Church and Its jurisdiction. Thirdly, Catholics, and certainly Catholic ministers, are not allowed to actively participate in the ceremonies of any form of Christianity (i.e. non-Catholic) that has been condemned by the Church as heretical or schismatic.ANSWER:1. Hmm? Not sure about this. A catholic may certainly attend (and thus witness) the marriage of 2 non-catholics.2. I also believe that an Ordained Catholic Deacon may also serve as "celebrant"/officient at a marriage between 2 catholics in a catholic church/ceremony.3. I believe that an ordained Catholic Deacon may also serve, alongside a protestant minister, in a marriage between a catholic and a non-catholic held in a non-catholic Christian church.4. An ordained Catholic Deacon may NOT serve as THE officiant/celebrant at the marriage of non-catholics in a non-catholic church.This is complicated. More information is needed to answer the question. Recommend consulting a local parish priest.
