  "Most women would prefer to be stay at home housewives. Women's lib did alot of damage to women!"

  the above is a quote from a jw female relative.

  this was in response to a discussion about the suffragette movement ( and the movie about it that's currently in cinemas).

  she seemed to think that it would be so much better if women were just daughters/ wives/ mothers and didn't go out to work and have career's?

  She seemed to think that it would be so much better if women were just daughters/ wives/ mothers and didn't go out to work and have career's? She even blamed the low wages of today and high prices of things on the fact that industry has to accommodate extra workers in the form of women.

  P's. This is coming from a jw woman who works and yes has a career(!)

  I really didn't know how to handle this so I just looked at the floor.

  Creepy, if I was 14 and he was 20 years younger that would have made him 40 odd. Still creepy!

  Wow these are just great! I never thought I'd get such a good response to my thread... Keep em coming guys!

  OK what about placing crayons in a "rainbow formation" under the windscreen wiper of every car you can? When they turn them on a rainbow will be drawn across the windscreen!

  Or stuff glitter into the air con systems, cue mass of glitter spurting out and glitter sticks around for ages! Better yet have the glitter written on with the name of apostate websites!

  No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'

  by wizzstick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?

  )- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.

  wow.

  I wonder how "tight" is "tight"? Is there going to be a measurement of tightness that can be gauged?

  Did an EX-JW wake you up to TTATT or did you put the effort to wake up yourself?

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.

  how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.

  how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

  Taliesin, yes that is what it suspected. The doctrine makers of the WT had never heard of Genghis and that's why he didn't get a look in when they listed the world powers

Brutal and yet also revolutionary in its law making and society. And yet not mentioned in the bible or prophecies? It had a major impact upon the world to the extent that a large chuck of us are related to the man or his army.

  Yet how come the bible writers seems to see oblivious to this empire?

  i remember once asking how the planet could possibly accommodate all the people who have ever lived?

  after the resurrection i mean.

  the answer i was told is that the gb had calculated that all the people who have ever lived could all fit on to the isle of wight?!.

  The isle of Wight for non UK members is a small island off the coast of Portsmouth, the south of England.

  At the time it didn't make sense to me but I just put that down to me not being intellectual enough to understand it. But now of course it seems so stupid! This can't be right surely?
