Young people ask Awake January 2010 Why don't boys like me? Girls take please!

OK, I'm pissed here is the advice from prepubescents from somewhere and some Highlights from the article. My comments in parenthesis.

"Dress modestly, and maintain good hygiene." (Just out of curiosity, does anyone know a teen-aged girl that is not obsessed with hygiene and who's view of modesty are they referring to?)

"Know your own mind and heart" "True many boys are attracted to girls who not yet formed strong convictions or who are naive. However, such boys are primarily interested in the girl's body, not in who she is as a person." (Yeah right, every teenage boy is interested in a girls body and not much else)

"Develop respect for others" What a boy says : "if a girl can show respect for me, I feel that she can definitely love me"....Mark. (OOOh boy, this is setting them up for a life long existence of barefoot and pregnant)

Your comments please.

Same drivel...different day...unfortunately.

What I think is really telling is that there was nothing in the article about a sense of self and confidence. That's because jws particularly females, aren't supposed to have any.

bullshit!

Haha, why don't boys like you? Because you're a sheltered, boring Stepford wife-in-training who is so deathly afraid of being counseled for "inappropriate conduct" that you dare not lay a hand on another boy. It's not totally your fault. You're just going along with the program.

Thanks for your input. Here is the take on self esteem....last paragraph mind you!

Appreciate your own value

The fact is not all boys will like you-and that can be a good thing! But if you are conscious of caring for both your external beauty and your inner beauty you will have "great value in the eyes of God"----and you will attract the type of young man that you deserve. 1 Peter3:4.

This strikes me as a nightmare!!!!

"great value in the eyes of God"

Right. But, wtgod is out there, somewhere. He never lifts a digit to anything. As well, the value of a person within the wt corp can go from 'great' to zero in seconds.

'----and you will attract the type of young man that you deserve.'

Could be. Some people deserve what they get.

What i found more deeply disturbing is that when the old boys want to get some mind control going, or introduce some propaganda, they INVENT a "young people ask'' or "Question from readers". The poor old worker ants have no idea that the very format is in itself a lie. I seriously doubt young girls write to the society for boy help!

Aussie, what I found the most disturbing was the comment from "Mark" Where do they get this stuff....If she can respect me....good lord who respects a 13 year to 18 year old boy?"

Hmmm. When I was a young girl in the WTBTS, the Gov Body was frothing at the mouth if anyone thought about getting married and having kids - that was 'against GAWD'S will' since 1975 and Armageddon were just around the corner...

Guess somebody on the Gov Body committee figured out that their only real growth is coming from JW kids, nowadays, instead of converts.... I sure as wouldn't take advice on attracting boys from some fossilized old farts back in celibate JW headquarters!

Yeah these old fudie dudies really shouldn't writing these books for young people they are too square, too cloistered, and too fckd-up to be giving any practical advice. They have lost touch with reality living in their imaginary world trying to please their imaginary freind in the sky who kills little children when he's pissed for some silly reason.
