AK Jeff,
Power trip absolutely!
There is no way an elder can see inside the heart and mind of another, so how the hell do they now?

Does the bible teach that man is superior to women or just diffrerent?
by JH in.
looking at how the jw's treat sisters compared to brothers, it would seem that the jw's think that men are superior to women.. is this what the bible really says?.

I also do not believe the bible is written by god, this is a very good examlpe of that. How can an all mighty supreme being grant you the gift of childbearing, then tell you it will be painful as a punishment from then on against all women? EX, women are unclean, longer if she births a girl, women are portrayed as spiritualy weaker and as seducers of good men. Does that really make sense? Women are portrayed so negatively in the bible that even an idiot could conclude that a sexist man, not a loving all knowing god wrote those lines.
One of my favorite quotes:
Woman are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.- Karl Marx
That speaks volumes to me.

JH,
Thanks for the link, I have never read this before.
Book Quote "If he listens to them, showing true repentance, it may be
that he can be retained as a brother and thus be spared
being disfellowshipped." (Prov. 19:20; compare Matthew
18:15-17.) <----- I don't get this. Quite frankly it infuriates me.Dragonlady76

JWs and Clothing
by the_classicist inwhere i live, its not usual for people to "dress up," especially business people and executives, you are more likely to see them with a button up shirt, khakis, and one of those fleece vests on.
so, on the whole, jws look very out of place wearing their cheap suits (though a few elders didn't wear cheap suits and they made that known, "look at this, i got a spot on my new $200 designer shirt" -- really, something like this happened).
but what i did notice is that, in my area, dressing guidelines usually weren't followed, or enforced for that matter, for good looking women.

CF,
I would have to agree with you.
I don't think women got it easier, I remember the hem line wars, then it was dress's or shirts that were to form fitting, neck lines that were to low, ot lord forbid you were blessed with big boobs, you have to hide them no matter what, for a time long dress's with big slits were in and this was frowned upon and we were criticized for wearing to much makeup, jewelry or have a sexy looking hair do. I felt that being made to wear skirts to the kh was demeaning, but I still love to wear them as long as their short enough that I can not bend over.

It's a revolting habit and they also love to grab their crotches. I don't understand it.

Should we tell my sister in law she can appeal her DF'ing?
by AlmostAtheist ingina's sister and her husband haven't been df'd yet, contrary to what we were told.
she will be announced this thursday.. she's not aware of the "organization" side of the organization, gina and i both feel she is unaware of her right to appeal.
if we tell her, and she appeals, i think she stands a decent chance of having it overturned.

I would tell her, but I don't think it will help as the elders will hold their ground on the df.
Hopefully she will see things a little clearer thanks to the shunning and leave the borg.
Hope everything works out and I wish you and your family good luck.
