  Where are the EXJW Feminist Philosophers?

  by Luther bertrand in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i am working, more in the planning stages, where i am going to offer a commentary on the caleb and sophia cartoons that the org puts out.

  i noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer.

  i would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable.

  We can all agree the jw cult is misogynistic in the past, present and future.

  For those who are trying to reduce the future growth of the cult and shrink it now, publicizing the misogyny is an effective tool. It is also important for the personal growth of ex-cultists.
  

  It would be a shame to allow external debates to drown out this important cult issue.

  Comments about how annoying other extremists are seem to have no place in this thread.

  It saddens me that nearly every discussion on the Internet that aims to discuss egalitarianism degrades into this same old crap.

  I am decidedly not non-confrontational. I just fail to care about helping a current cultist who believes it strongly enough to engage in recruitment.

  Mainly, it's because I know the help-one-person-at-a-time approach is SO much less effective than prevention efforts.

  I suppose I am helping the individual a little bit by having a firm answer instead of just not answering the door or saying, "No thank you." She certainly knows I object to her message, at least.

  Also, it was in the middle of my workday.

  Was Adam "born" Circumsized ?

  by RubaDub in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i guess we have to assume that jesus was circumcised on the 8th day but what about adam?

  he was "perfect", so did he have the weenie cut or not?.

  i would like to bring this question up at a "get-together".. rub a dub .

  Yes, Adam was circumcised when he was 8 days old.

  Jehovah made Adam fall into a deep sleep.

  Because there were no other people in existence yet, Jehovah used animals to perform the procedure. They bandaged the wound with fig leaves.

  Do you feel a need or desire to help or talk to cultists for any reason? In most cases, I don't.

  Should I get babtized?

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this sounds like a ridiculous question but i was talking with my mom in the car today and of course we got on the topic of getting babtized again.

  she told me that jehovah holds me accountable for my sins regardless of wether i am babtized or not so i have no reason to be holding back because it won't change anything.

  my parents are the type of super strict jw who will shun you just for not being a witness.

  1. Say yes, enthusiastically!
  2. Share the baptism questions on here and tell us when your meeting with the elders is to go over each question.
  3. We will help you prepare and give you answers that are both hilarious and thought-provoking. You will be totally complying with your parents' wishes while having a riotously good time and disqualifying yourself.

  1. Disappear overnight.

  2. Come back with a glowing smile.

  3. Tell them you got baptized by elopement--it's a new trend among youth--you disappear like someone running away to get married, but you get baptized instead.

  I'm enough of a cynic to believe that this site is probably run by an apostate who is using "Yes, we are Jehovah's Witnesses" as a form of "Anti-Theocratic Warfare".

  I am seriously thinking of doing this, but this is me we're talking about, so the messages will need to be a lot more on the edge.

  The Brooklyn tie tacks were so popular, they're on back order.

  I want to ask them if they could make a Watchtower Farms pollution bookbag.

  Pioneers, are you dismayed that you don't have fancy job titles or prestigious college degrees to show off? Your search is over! Now you can tote around this keychain that proves you are superfine. And this is a great way for singles to show off your spiritual status.
