Are workers allowed to attend weddings of ex-workers? I mean how do other workers witness such an event and not want to get hitched up? There are some cute workers out there!

I think they are allowed to attend the wedding however take no part of it such as giving grace etc.

Not always true. I know one who was an ex-worker whose wedding speaker was a worker.

I know of several weddings where the workers have prayed as part of the service. Two I know very well as they are family. So maybe this is another area thing. Who knows!!!

The Ministers (workers) now perform the entire wedding. Where have you folks been for the past 10 years?

First I ever heard of that, only state recognised and registered persons can perform the ceromony as far as I know from teaching growing up the workers couldn't due to the meetings not being a registered church |

Legal qualifications for 'marriage' differ from country to country. One of the most common (65-75%) man and woman family partnership configurations in Swedish law is simply an agreement between the two people involved. It provides much the same legal status (and rights for children) as if it was done before a minister -- or civil authority.

We rarely call them "workers". We have always called them preachers - "The prechers are coming" and sometimes ministers. The term worker is not used in our family often

To Wedding - This could only happen in states where it specifies anyone can perform the marriage vows. I know of a parent who did so in Missouri and they have screwy laws. Name the place where workers of the 2X2 have performed ceremonies unless you are being funny with the term "workers".

So what your saying then is changes have been made in the 2x2s and people shouldn't question anymore ? However there has been no ownership of the 2x2 history? Can you make changes without past ownership? I know this would be a tough one for most but the history thing will always be there for the 2x2s just like it is there for SDA, LDS, WWCG ,JW'S I know i was never invited to any wedding never even heard of them till all was over I'm sure glad to be out of such a outfit |

I do not feel that the term "workers" explains the mission of the preachers. The term is taken out of context from references in the Bible refering to the Lords Work. I associate workers with . . . ants, communist, blue collar, to many Indians and not enough workers, etc. Many of the "workers" refer to themselves as preachers or ministers. We will have "preachers" for supper and overnight today. You can call them anything you like, but I prefer to not use the W term as it has an incorrect association with the "old school"
