There’s little else in life that is more ludicrous than a pompous JW.
Correction. There is little else in life that is more ludicrous than a pompous male JW. Especially one of the elder variety, one of those guys what tell people what to do.
Think about it, it just isn’t natural for a man to be The Head Of The House . That’s why elders are always making such complete asses of themselves with their stupid directives that are unworkable to any normal person.
Take any well-run household, and I guarantee that most of the decisions are actually made by the woman of the house. She doesn’t have the same pride agenda as the average male, she just wants for her family to be well provided for and hopefully to all be happy as well. In real life the male just has some control over the finances, house maintenance and the things that his wife doesn’t care to deal with, and as a result the household will run reasonably smoothly. A bit like a pride of lions, what?
Now compare this to a newly converted dub who has been told that he is now The Head Of The Household. Straight away he makes a total prat of himself by sticking his nose into matters that are none of his business., matters that have been run well for years without his interference. He insists that he is consulted on everything by everyone. He insists on having The Final Say. He is de head, de baas!
The worst part is that his once capable wife must now assume a passive and silent role as the great oaf imposes his will on his newly subservient family. A once united couple can actually become divided by headship, he has the niggling feeling that he isn’t coping terribly well, she knows it but must push those feelings right back down, so as not to be seen as behaving un-submissively.
The WTBTS with its great imbalanced male / female ratio has succeeded once more in pushing it’s busy-body nose into other people private lives, a bunch of silly old men who probably couldn’t even work out how to boil an egg.
