  Sister attendants not able to give directions to a brother..Misogyny

  by Theburstbubble in

  at our recent rc i was advised by a sister who was an attendant that they have been advised not to be able to give brothers directions as this should be dealt with by the brothers.

  apparently at the pre-convention attendants meeting, the sisters were asked to stay behind.

  this was when they were given the news that the brothers should deal with brothers.

  NY44M - the sisters wearing a t-shirt that shows a map of the convention grounds would solve that problem.

  They say women can't read maps, but I could happily tell the brothers where to go.

  They may as well just drop the music and chant the words in a monotone .

  "For the greater good......all hail the GB.....tight pants are gay....die apostates die....."

  The Org is terrified of apostates

  by SecretSlaveClass in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i knew apostasy was a serious concern for the org, but until i watched this video, i had no idea how afraid they actually were.

  all this guy wants is to do is not turn in his fs hours and immediately they (elders) set about drilling him about who are what influenced his decision, as if he was incapable of making his own (which as the elders confirm, in the org is highly discouraged).

  they are convinced he has been communicating with apostates or visiting apostate web sites.

  Stupid things JWs say

  by deanxxx in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok we all say stupid things (probably on a daily basis in my case) but my mother (a jw) was told by another member that she doesn't have a conscience because anyone who smiles as much as she does simply can't have a conscience.

  i bet you can guess the person who said it to her has a face like a wet weekend.. i guess the reasoning is: if you had a conscience you wouldn't have much to smile about because you'd be overwhelmed with guilt and worry.

  what a load of old bollox that cult is eh?.

  That's a new one on me. Whatever happened to the JW mantra of "Jehovah's happy people?"

  When I was going if you weren't consistently all happy-happy joy-joy you were from Satan.

  venting: My wife is in cult mode again! she tried to start a fight..

  by goingthruthemotions in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so when i was at luch today, my wife was in full cult mode.

  she started in on me about us not being able to hang with other witnesses and when i go to the meetings with her that i don't talk with nobody nor pay attention and act angry.

  i told her that i don't want to fight and i have better things to do than argue.

  I hate the way this religion inserts itself in relationships.

  She may wake up one day. Try to remain hopeful.

  Did Geoffrey Jackson Commit Perjury, or Just "Spiritual Warfare"?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  mr. jackson was pressured by angus stewart to answer if the org condoned corporal punishment, to which he openly stated that the org does not condone corporal punishment for j.w.

  children.

  this "fact" has never been revealed in the org's literature, in fact, this article which was published under geoffrey jackson's supervision, by definition demonstrates the org's approval of corporal punishment for j.w.

  SS - ..."99.9% of times JW children get scolded"

  Have you personally investigated 100% of JW households to make this claim?
