Women are the weaker sex
by stillajwexelder inthis proves the bible and the wtbts wrong.
the scripture says women are the weaker sex - wll as most men will surely admit t this is a load of crap - women are incredibly strong.
they bear children and keep going when they have a headache etc.

I don't you can possibly say that either sex is 'stronger' because strength comes in many guises and varies from person to person. All you can say is that women are a different sex to men.

Have many become atheists who've left the Watchtower?
by The Leological One inthought i've never been a jw, my wife is, and she was df'd a couple months ago when we got married (we were together a short while before getting married).
sometimes it seems she still tries to defend jw doctrines... others, it seems she's about ready to accept the idea of some other views (protestant), and yet i've wondered at times when she says she doesn't know what to believe if she's about ready to forget religion altogether.
i'd prefer she keeps her faith in god but seek her understanding more from the bible than just from other people's doctrines -- esp.

I think the whole God issue is down to what people want to believe. I've never seen any evidence for God existing and I've got no faith on the matter. I don't think that makes me an atheist, it just means that if there is a spook in the sky, it's got a long way to go before it gets a crumb from me.

Lawyers Who Deal With Disfellowshipping
by dh inis there a directory of lawyers who have experience in helping jw's with judicial df'ing issues?
what i mean by helping, is a lawyer who knows the df procedure, and will inform the elders that he/she will be attending the judicial meeting with the person etc.
if the elders refuse point blank to allow it, then a lawyer who knows how to pressure them so that they cannot announce the disfellowshipping or ever speak about it, as it would be slander would be very useful.. i think that there should be (may already be) lawyers out there who up to speed on this, and if they aren't, they should be brought up to speed by us, the ex jw community on what to expect from judicial meetings, and on the whole jw procedure of disfellowshipping etc.

I think that there should be (may already be) lawyers out there who up to speed on this, and if they aren't, they should be brought up to speed by us, the Ex JW community on what to expect from Judicial meetings, and on the whole JW procedure of disfellowshipping etc. Whether someone writes an in depth open source document directed at lawyers explaining the whole deal, a document that is freely available to anyone. Available in that they can download a copy, print it and take it to any lawyer, who on reading it will have a good idea of what is going on, rather than a lay person trying to explain the whole cult of JW's to a lawyer who knows nothing about it, a document that is designed to bring a person with no JW experience up to speed on the whole issue of Disfellowshipping, and put it in legal context.
I think it would help people, both to have a document to give to lawyers, and to have a directory of lawyers who have worked on previous cases. Maybe it's making a big deal out of it, but since being DF'd can destroy a persons life, a bit of experienced legal advice could be make or break.
Anyway, does anyone have any thoughts on this...?

INCUBUS
by sistaintheback ini have been dealing with one for the past few years.
not constantly, but about once every three months.
for those that don't know, an incubus is a demonic presence that only bothers women when they sleep.

The explanation is a medical/psychological one
I actually believe that the majority demon possession cases (and I use that term lightly) which happen around the world (The type you sometimes see on TV or hear about in remote parts of the world) are actually the very powerful human subconscious manifesting one of its many unexplored facets. I think it is also possible that the mind may be able to inflict injuries on the body (ala stigmata, also I think this because people around the world use their minds to prevent injuries from hot coals, knives etc), therefore in my view this makes the whole thing 'internal' rather than and 'external' source making it happen. I know sometimes the mind can fall out of tune with the body, and I suspect that ancient people many thousands of years before the Bible came along, may have had an understanding of the mind that we do not, and somewhere down the line, ignorrant people mystified into being demons.
