Paul did not belittle women
by Doug Mason ini note the recent post that quoted 1 timothy 2:11-12 and colossians 1:23 which place women at a level that is lower to men.
the poster accused paul of this mysoginy, but that is not correct.. 1 timothy, 2 timothy, titus, colossians, ephesians and hebrews were written after paul's death.. paul was not a mysoginist; he made full use of women in leadership roles.
he wrote that in god's sight there is neither male nor female, for all are one in god's sight.. doug.

At least you acknowledge that somebody in the Christian establishment wrote those pathetic verses. It's the Bible that's misogynist. The John Doe who writes these verses reflects the general attitude that his comrades had.

Occupations that will disappear
by joker inwhile growing up in the cult one thing that always bothered me was the way witnesses could forecast jobs/occupations that we're going to vanish in their new world.. for example, we would usually discuss at saturday night wt studies how doctors, nurses, funeral directors, and soldiers would go the way of the dodo.
i always found discussions like that just so strange.. in hs, i mounted an unsuccessful effort to enter veterinary sciences, the big answer was always "why" it won't be needed after armageddon 😝😜.
does anyone have their own story about professions that the witnesses believe will not be needed after the big a ?.

I knew a JW girl in High School who said that her boyfriend's occupation was going to be needed in the "New Order". He was studying to be an architect.

Charles Russell was very explicit as to what, when, and how things would happen. He wrote it in explicit detail in his six books Studies in the Scriptures:
- 1799 - 1914: The time of the end. The last days.
- 1874 - 1914: The battle of Armageddon. It was supposed to start as a slow motion social Armageddon accelerating to a peak by 1914. Religion would be overthrown; communists and anarchists would be causing disruption; and pure chaos and destruction would culminate by 1914 (No earthquakes, world wars or other pyrotechnics like the JWs current pyrotechnics).
- 1914: The beginning of the Millennium. All nations would be overthrown by then and Jesus' reign of peace would commence.

It was once believed by the Watchtower that a perfect man would not have a beard. That is how they portrayed Adam.

Watchtower Publications To Give Away
by bigmouth init's now time to clear out my old literature lest it fall into the right hands.. there is a fairly large range of books, volumes, pamphlets and various keepsakes.
some are unusual, say, part issues of the aid book and a live forever book that has had paragraphs altered in subsequent copies.
i am in hoppers crossing, melbourne.

Hard evidence is completely lacking in the Trump dossier case, which is why we should question it.
Such "hard evidence" would compromise the manner in which intelligence is gathered which would not be in our national interest.
