Kid A,
Do you live in a trailer by any chance? Hiding from the WTS? WTF??? Are they going to pummel you with rolled up Watchtowers? Sounds a bit like paranoid delusional neurosis to me.
No I don't do you? Your the one touting a gun in your Avatar so who might have paranoid delusional neurosis?

LOL! Yeah, a gun of power chords baby!!! (It's a guitar if you look more closely.)
Ooops, I was confusing him with another poster. It does look like a gun though until you take a closer look. (my screen is small)

Restrangled,
Having re-read the thread, were you suggesting that I didn't protect my sister because I was afraid of a meeting with the elders? Because that is crap. It was an empty threat, it peed me off, and I posted it on here as an example of how unloving JWs could be, but I KNEW it was empty. And if I had beat him up, I wouldn't have been disfellowshipped, so it's not like I would have lost anything, so that's not the reason I chose not to beat him up, I didn't beat him up because I would only ever use violence as a last resort. You can't just go beating people up everytime they say something you don't like. That's extremely thuggish.
As I've already stated in this thread, I've defended my sister in the past in the face of a real threat, so it's not like I'd just dismiss anything said about her. Do you think I don't care about my sister as much as your kids care about you, purely because I didn't beat a guy up for saying something I didn't like? I do care about my sister, I wouldn't have posted that thread if I didn't care about her, because the comment wouldn't have bothered me. I find the way you seemed to have judged me quite hurtful.
PS. And I think you called me a former elder as well? If so, that's wrong as well.
I've stood up for the women in my life many times, even when they were in the wrong. The people I stood up for in my life were, without exception, the first to turn against me when they no longer found me convenient.
If I'm in trouble I have no one to call but 911. Let everyone else do the same.

Zico, I was suggesting none of that and I respect that you did not want to attack your friend. I was outraged for you and your sister and the nerve JW's have. As you can see there were many different reactions, some families handle things one way and some another.
For some reason I thought you were an elder, maybe it was your dad.
Since everyone is so ticked off, lets just put an end to this thread. Its been beat to death. (pun intended)

So much for this thread being called "lame". It's on it's 3rd page. Some here wish they could get a 2nd page.

LittleToe, just wanted to thank you for your responses. They describe quite precisely my reaction to the original questions asked (after I finally understood them.) I could probably assume either of the roles available to men in their relationships with women. I could be the archetypal "protector" or the enlightened, modern-day "equal partner." The problem, I find, is that a fair number of women would like all the advantages of both such roles, but are willing to accept none of the accompanying responsibilities or concessions they may not favor.
