  JW.org marks International Women's Day 2019

  for the second year in a row, the org has marked international women's day.

  this time, it's an article that lists most female bible characters in alphabetical order with a brief summary for each, topped by a picture of them in 'empowering' poses.

  rey and captain marvel would be proud lol.. .

  Smiddy, your question was almost answered by Dozy. The subject he refers to at the end was last year's article:

  "A Place For Women In Construction"

  (cringey title)

  https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/construction/women-in-construction/#?insight[search_id]=44ee1984-0eea-42a0-a1ce-c6ed6241b390&insight[search_result_index]=0

  It says they have provided a

  "workplace where everyone is respected, treated fairly, encouraged and supported".

  It mentions "a crew leader named Eric", "Carl who leads several crews" and "crew leader Fergus", failing to note that women aren't allowed to be crew chiefs. One of them also makes a sexist remark as if women are somehow inherently more able to notice if something is wrong and report it. Another says that he'd rather have women operating the machines than men. The article ends with the declaration:

  “There is definitely a place for women in construction!”

  What is the date of the magazine is this in?

  As is often the case nowadays, this is an online article.

  is there some kind of statement, noting international women's day? I would be shocked if they acknowledged it at all

  You are correct, it is never specifically mentioned. However I hardly think it is a coincidence that an article only about women comes out during Women's Day, and two years in a row at that.

  When it comes to Deborah, they as usual refuse to acknowledge her clear status as a judge, only calling her a prophetess and settling for this:

  God also used her to help settle problems among the Israelites.

  To downplay the action she took, the wording is thus:

  At his direction, she summoned Barak to lead an Israelite army

  And instead of showing that Barak obviously looked up to her and she did him a favor by going along, they twist that into an act of submission, saying she:

  willingly complied with his request

  wanted - young, healthy, unmarried brothers that do not look at pornography.

  of course they should not masturbate too, though we do not mention this requirement specifically.

  and they should be honest about it.

  WOW. How are any of the hundreds of ousted Bethelites going to feel watching that? They thought they were being "reassigned" for the sake of simplification . . . But now it's obvious they're being replaced with cheaper labor. Whatever happened to 'Jehovah will not forget your work and the love you showed for his name'? 🤔

  Breaking news: Update Darkspilver May 6th hearing

  on may 6th, 2019 watch tower attorney paul polidoro faced off against anonymous reddit user darkspilver, represented by eff, the electronic frontier foundation.. link to youtube video with audio from may 6th hearing:.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wzopjmzfco&feature=youtu.be.

  polidoro, noted for his appearance in the supreme court case of watchtower versus stratton ohio, now represents watch tower of pennsylvania in their efforts to flush out the inside leak sources of documents, videos and images.. these documents and other sensitive information have been leaked to the public and reposted by dozens of individuals since 2017. watch tower is deeply concerned about the internal moles leaking this information, since much of it has been used by whistleblowers to reveal watch tower's private internal policies and procedures.. included in the leaks are publisher id and records management materials which reveal the extent of jehovah's witness data collection and management prodedures, including the destruction of documents.. jehovah's witnesses have come under intense scrutiny for their failure to report child abuse across the globe, not only in mandatory reporting states, but in every location where clergy members are not required to report.. the dangerous policies of the jehovah's witness organization have resulted in a significant movement among current and former members to expose the organization and force transparency.. current members with high-level access to watch tower documents have risked expulsion and legal recourse for their efforts.. the electronic frontier foundation's attorney alex moss represented the unidentified darkspilver redditor in defense of the motion to quash watch tower's subpoena to unmask his identity.. listen closely as both sides make their case, and the judge seeks to understand the issues involved.. freedom of speech versus alleged copyright infringement- you be the judge.

  If they found his identity, I wonder if WT would refrain from disfellowshipping him just because of the bad PR involved.

  Venus and Serena William's mother in a Mother's Day commercial

  by Expanded-Mind in

  i think this is such a cute commercial!

  (link below) however, if venus and serena's mother is a loyal witness, i am surprised that she would consent to do a mother's day commercial.

  we all know what they teach about celebrating this and so many other holidays.

  Is it me, or does every mother in that commercial look like a raving psychopath?

  Hi and welcome! I too am non-denominational. I do favor Protestant, especially Baptist, but after JWs I refuse to ever again say I belong to a certain religion, only Christian.
