    Men. Ask any of us ladies who had to live under the thumb of the WTBTS and the elders.

    Living under the thumb !

    It appears we all payed the price of living under "mothers " thumb ...

    At the congregation level, a handful of men don't even have much power. The congregation answers to the C.O. who answers to Mother

    For a fact, only the men are allowed to make the decisions. Only the men are allowed headship positions, and they are the ones that run the whole show from the congregations to the whole cancer itself. They are the ones that become hounders, hounder-hounders, and higher--and have the chance of making up part of the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger class.

    Which is one more reason why this religion has to go. This is blatant sexism--at that, with no rational motive behind it. Women, in reality, can make good decisions (and, if they are fully integrated in their thinking, they can be just as effective as men with equal integration in their thinking). They can correct problems as well as, and in some cases better than, men--if someone in leadership makes a mistake, women can just as easily fix it as men can. But, when they are silenced, the men have better ability to control them (and beat up on them).

    This is not always the case on these apostate boards--women can make good administrators here. In fact, some are owned by women and are running just as fine as those that are run by men. The only legitimate grounds for discrimination is the person's individual qualifications--discriminating based on other characteristics is sure to result in getting less than the best leadership, and could create many other problems for the congregation of witlesses.

    Even WT's doctrine on why God put men in charge is ridiculous.

    Eve was seduced by a powerful spirit-creature that presented a twisted truthful statement to her while she was not allowed to know the difference between good and bad.

    Adam was thinking with his penis and deliberately violated God.

    Today, if women have any power, it's from men who continue to think with their penises and let women lead their decisions.

    The women have only as much power as the men allow them to have. There is a difference between power and influence.

    We've had some pretty silly anti-women threads lately. They must have inspired this one.

    Pfffft.....as a 3rd generation jw, the women influenced the men. My grandmother ran the show in her house and so did my mom. It doesn't mean men are wimps, they just are easily influenced, especially when they are making decisions. Men can throw tantrums, and beat their chests like apes,...... it does not change the influence of women.

    What the hell? look at Adam and Eve.....it was the beginning of the end for men.....tee hee, hee.

    Eventually.......Girls rule!!!!!
