i've always thought it to be a charming and old-fashioned custom.
my grandfather always did it.
whenever he was out walking with me tagging along, he would always doff his hat whenever he passed a lady coming the other way, or whenever he he stopped to chat.
Man and woman were not created equal in power and glory; the man came first and was given special prerogatives.
It is the woman that is commanded to show respect and recognition of the man?s position of headship, and women who rebel at it are not so much rebelling against men as they are against God.?Gen. 3:16; 1 Cor. 11:2-10; Eph. 5:33.
WTF!!! I am going to puke all over again......How Did they get me to buy into this sh*T????
never again

i've been reading the forums for a while now, as a guest, and have decided that i need a counterbalance to the indoctrination i am recieving.
here's my story (as short as i can make it): .
i was raised pagan, hearing the witnesses were a cult like morminism and islam.

i just read love2bworldys thread at did u know about the early white supremicist view of the jw's?
not wanting to hijack or divert that topic i ask the question here.. .
adam was the progenitor of the whole human race, from his genes sprang the negroid, caucasian, mongoloid, indo-european and every other race on the planet.
What if the story of Adam is a fairy tale? People that write fairy tales can make their fictional character any color they want to...kind of like Barney the purple dinosaur
i wanna hear the word that made you either physically nauseous or burst out in uncontrolable laughter.
please demonstrate it in a sentence as well.
mine was 'enthused' (my fingers were shaking as i typed).
"The society frowns upon...."
You cannot earn more money then your HUSBANDLY OWNER(I forgot about that one) ,the society FROWNS UPON woman having a career.
Inculcate....Forgot about that one, too

i just found out today that my jw mum has turned down a proposal of marriage for the fourth time.
none of the proposals were from the same guy either, although all 4 were jw's.
i'm also told that mum's considered quite a dish for an octogenarian.. however, i'm also reliably informed that one of the main reasons for her refusals is because of the df'd "state" of my kid brother and myself.. see, she's considered a mature dub, one of the elite, and she also gets her own quiet ration of new light.
I also think she does not remarry cause she does not want to!
What will it gain her? Having some old fart JW tell her what to do,what to read and what to watch, who to talk to and who she can see and for how long?? wash his dirty drawers and socks? bake for the brothers? Yikes....no way
No offense Englishman, I am sure you are part of the reason, after all you and your brother are some of the ones she wants to see.....
BUT: I also think Mum is enjoying her independence, and to that I say:
YOU GO MUM

i heard today that brothers who volunteered at assemblies were only accepted on the proviso that they were "brothers in good standing".
i also heard that anyone reproved or df'd might have to wait for 3 to 5 years before being allowed to clean the gent's loos as a volunteer.. is that right?
what other things are held back from folk who aren't quite up to the mark?.
I remember being "allowed" to slap mashed potatoes or some such thing on endless parades of plates going by the food service line.
I was soooo priviledged to be considered upright enought to qualify for this. PLus I was a single divorcee just coming into the organization and volunteering for the slop line would show my proper attitude and keep me out of trouble.( Translation: since you are a single divorcee you must doubless be h***y and this will keep you from rutting in the parkinglot.)
gag gag gag How did I put up with that??? I
