  Re: the woman parking attendants and real life

  by carla in

  with much amusement i read the thread on women parking lot attendants and it got me to thinking about life at home for the average jw.. i believe i am correct in thinking that anything to do with jw-ism requires a penis, except all the leg work (fs & pioneers).

  meaning the mic's, talks, etc... but yet the same guy who thinks his wife (or any other woman) is not bright enough to run the sound system for example doesn't mind his wife hauling hay, digging in the yard, managing the checkbook and other various physical jobs as well as jobs that do in fact require a brain larger than that of a gnat?.

  let's say a guy is a bit technologically challenged but he can manage the sound system at the kh ok. i imagine he feels proud that he is getting to do this great privilege?

  I saw the video where it said sisters can used to assist the attendants and it seemed to be in the context of helping disabled females and children out of cars when they arrive at the convention. They have always used female "attendants" in "Mothers and Babies" dep (I was one) with a brother "overseeing" from outside (bizarre!) apparently because women can't be left alone to feed and change their own babies.

  And yes, I knew many couples where the hubbie was indifferent to congregation privileges and appointments but was pushed forward by a very ambitious wife.

  Dutch House of Representatives formally requests the government to start an investigation re. JW child abuse

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  today the dutch house of representatives unanimously voted to petition the government to start an investigation into jw child abuse issues.. the request from the house of reps. came after jw nl refused to listen to repeated and serious requests from the government to start an independent investigation themselves.. now it's up to the government to either accept the request by the house of reps. and start an investigation, or refuse to do so and explain to the house why.

  it appears the minister of justice is not unwilling to start an investigation though.... collection of dutch news items here.

  i'd like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome our newest jw apologist jtrottigy.

  .

  he'll likely only be here for a few days like most jw defenders before he runs away when presented with his own doctrine.. so far he's already said some hilarious stuff, like "there's no such thing as nepotism in jehovah's organisation", "confidentiality is paramount to elders" and, my personal favourite "the overlapping generation is so simple to understand".. yh don't think i don't remember you from jwtalk..

  Holy spirit

  by mrssauk in

  what is the difference (if any) between being guided by holy spirit and being inspired by holy spirit?

  is it just semantics?.

  I think to be "inspired" carries the connotation of some sort of divine phrophetic download of information through dream or voice or sign/ miracle ie burning bush, road to Damascus moment etc whereas "guided" is meant to imply following bible principles that were "spirit inspired" but it's deliberately misleading the way they use both expressions.

  Playing semantics for the sake of arse saving, they are making sure they don't get caught out claiming to be prophets.
