Good theory highdose (that'll be the swine flu kicking in, lol...any better..?). JW men have little status regarding Society's rules, so elevate themselves by making their own rules..? (badly put, but I know what I mean, lol)

sistas work at bethel and quckbuilds yet cant carry mics or do lit. counter??
by oompa ini know paul said they were to be totally silent at meetings and jw's found a way to throw out the idea.....but where do all these weird rules for the ladies actually come from.....most are not in print but they are just an accepted idea?
all elders just seem to know it and do sisters ever ask to do something only the guys do?.
they can clean toilets, but not carry a clean mic?......nice.......they can pull weeds all day in the kh flower bed, but cant hand out territories or literature?.....but they can work full time at bethel in even special fields like law and medical field........and do all kinds of major work at quickbuilds and assembly halls........ also......tongues of fire hit the sistas in the upper room filled with 120.....they could speak in tongues, heal, and even prophesy!!

The 'trousers' issue is crazy. I can understand it applying in the 1930s or whenever (when women who wore trousers were 'judged' to a certain degree, as it wasn't the 'usual dress code'...unless they were farmhands or similar) but not today. Even when I was at school, girls had to wear a skirt or pinafore as part of the uniform - but that has now changed to include trousers as a uniform option (and most girls opt for these as being more practical, and indeed warmer in cold months). If it's to appear 'businesslike' (as JWs appear to aim for that 'look') then, again, today's business women wear trousers/trouser suits. The WT is full of crap 'rules'.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions regarding "attention seekers"?
by BonaFide inwe all love it when people pay attention to us or our opinions.
but what i am talking about is people who crave and force attention from others.
not just people who talk a lot, but those that force everyone around them to focus on them and them only.. in one of my classes there is a woman who raises her hand to ask a question, but never really has a question to ask.

Isaac - yes. If we all started agreeing with 'her', she'd get fed up and start either a) start posting the opposite or b) defect to a different site and deliberately post conflisting thoughts. Maybe she did stumble upon this site by accident (originally), enjoyed the attention as a newbie...but then other newbies came along and suddenly (just like at the KH) they got the attention. She needed to grab the limelight again...didn't really matter how...but she's going too far. After being on this board for nigh on one year (?) reniaa KNOWS Mouthy is a genuine lady, yet she still can't let it pass. If someone offered to pray for my child(ren) I'd be flattered and pleased that they cared (regardless of religion), even if I didn't sgree. I certainly wouldn't throw it back in their face. Reniaa knows what she's doing - and by insulting our much loved 'senior member' (I mean that in a respectful way, Mouthy) she'll attract more attention and negativity. She hopes.

Mouthy - 'accepting' your prayer (which I think is very Christian of you) would break down the hostility that she enjoys so much. If she didn't 'agree' with it, the kindest thing would be for her to ignore it, but it isn't her style - she needs to make a public 'song and dance' about everything. She courts animosity, then cries 'victim'.

ad hominen!!!!!
Lol - reniaa, not at all!!! You REPEATEDLY go on about being on these forums - almost obsessively. Your 'tragic life' and children that must be demanding (due to a combination of age and 'disability'), yet I think a lot of posters are concerned they must be neglected to some degree. I know Mouthy is very caring, forgiving and sensitive - and yet you dismiss her GENUINE concern and prayer KNOWING it will cause her HURT. Despicable.
Isaac - yes, you're right (did I PM you a few weeks' ago?)
Mouthy - you're a very caring person - very longsuffering

I think reniaa suffers from a persecution complex (although quite common amongst JWs, hers is extreme - maybe that's why she feels 'connected' to them). She appears to have been a victim all her adult life, and she would possibly love to be banned from these forums just to reinforce her self loathing and feed her 'I'm a victim' status. If she is as she represents herself, I think she's in dire need of clinical intervention...and Social Services should (possibly) be concerned about her kids' welfare.

Would a definite article prove that Jesus is God?
by solafide infrom what i've studied of jw's, john 1:1 is interpreted as "and the logos was (a) god".
therefore, because there is no definite article in john 1:1 for example, one supposedly cannot confirm that jesus is referred to as "the god".
so my question for the jw is "what if jesus were reffered to with a definite article in the nt"?
