just a reminder / clarification.. i'm not interested in public debate or questioning about hwo the forum is run, especially individual decisions we make.. if you have any questions about anything or want to challenge any decision then do it via email or pm.

any posts like this made on the main board will be deleted and, if continued, will result in suspension of the account used (as happened with minimus who's account has now been reactivated).

i'm sure you will appreciate the reason for this.

Simon, when I have something to say to someone, I prefer to it face to face. Since this is an international forum, I P.M. period.

What if men had been in subjection??

by FlyingHighNow in

friends

what would the wtbts be like if women were the leaders and men were in subjection?

would women treat men better than men have treated them?would the org.

be so controlling?would women be happier?would men and children be happier?would the org.

Flyinghigh or is it low? (Just kidding) I'm going to take a stab at your question. As much as I am impressed with intelligent women, these same women prefer men to take the lead. (At least the ones I've met) My comments are from experience. My mom was one tough cookie and she held the family together while my Dad was spoiled and a playboy. (Hmmm, why did she marry him?) Because of him being irresponsible, she had him under subjection. OK, that's understandable under the circumstances. There were plenty of times when she would nag him and it was totally needless. I do know she wanted him to take the lead, but he didn't.

I've been in the company of many older women for many years and as I said above, these same women prefer men to take the lead, why? Is it a Biblical thing, A culture thing? How about an innate thing? As to your question, 'What if men had been in subjection?' Then man would have been 'deceived' in the Garden and not the women. Enough said for now.

Does your past define you?

by Princess in

jw
friends

they were discussing this on the radio this morning.

are you defined by what you have done in your past, or is it the present experiences that define you?.

the dj and tracey lawrence (country singer) were trying to emphasize that we are defined by what we do now as opposed to our past.. are we as a group here an exception?

Golf

Hi Princess. When I reflect about the past, I find the way I think has defined me. As a youngster I had certain goals I wanted to achieve. I may not have achieved the 'exact' goals but what I have achieved is comparable to my goals. I guess I can liken it to Generic Viagra, same results.

I've learned to extract any good that I have experienced from the past, and this has led me to a life of being content. This is my experience and it has worked for me. We all have our own ships to steer and all I can do is hope everyone the best. I do not dwell in the 'if's' of life. I would never have achieved and accomplished my goals if I allowed the past to control me. To me, it was my mindset. Good question by the way.

hello everyone

by itsallgoodnow in

my first post here - - wanted to give my story, too.

raised a jw, stayed in out of fear, painted myself into a corner and currently struggling to get out completely.

i know lots of people would say they don't respect someone who knows they don't want to stay but is staying for other reasons, like family & friends or whatever.

Hi Ladylee, yes it's the real me. I've occasionally mentioned that Murphy's law applies to me. Well, here's a perfect example of it. I've come to expect the unexpected. But your right, I rather be named golf.

By the way D.E. my original post had read, "No need for a welcome" but I erased it. I should have kept it in. Thanks for the (hehe) you got me smiling.
