  and or dresses?

  just what is wrong with a smart pair of trousers?

  i'm sure that the women would not start behaving like men or imagining that they have a dick!.

  There is something in bible about men wearing womens clothes or vice versa. However, inthose days they all wore simple lenngths of fabric-very similar. Like the difference between womens shirts buttoning on the other side. So it wasnt about pants, but wearing pants meant for other gender.it was really stylistic. They all covered their heads, even. Fundamentalists have taken a clothing style from another period of time-not ours or a biblical time and determined that those times defined make/female garbs. In the 1700s men wore pants and women wore dresses. Not much exception to the rule.that amish mindset is in some christian groups.

  The scripture would perhaps have taken issue with bruce dressing like a girl, but just as mush if kim kardashian wore a mans kilt vs a womans plaid skirt(tho probably happy she is covered at all;) )

  stephen lett may 2015 broadcast.

  14:45 ... the governing body very much feels the urgency of accomplishing as much as we possibly can, in behalf of kingdom interests, knowing that the great day of jehovah is near....

  ... in an effort to inform you of the support that is needed for this great work, i have the following information to share.

  Building a tower, indeed!

  I am weak at math. The universities have a class called "math for liberal arts majors" (seriously, that's the name). None even got to that basic business math class. None went to even community college. That they don't think about how much money is coming in vs how much they have to spend gives us a good idea of the wisdom of the clowns running that show.

  They make plans based on WHAT? How many of you make your plans and magically expect fairies to give you the budget for it?

  There is now more than one case that the WT lost. They used to brag that they hadn't been held responsible for anything they were accused of. Now they have-internationally. Thank you Candace.

  well my mom asked me if i would be attending the district assembly that is taking place this weekend with them.

  i gave her a firm "no", she gave a look of total surprise.

  probably because in the past i would say, maybe or if i can and would sometimes show up for half a day.

  the dawn bible students association has a problem.

  ken fernets, when on the phone, shows his true colors to women who call.

  he engages in flirtatious speech.

  Jehovah Witness cult is Anti-christ.... proof seen in the use of BCE/CE instead of AD/BC

  by goingthruthemotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so being around this cult, i always found it interesting that the rest of christianity use ad/bc and the non christians use bce/ce.

  i never put two and two together.

  but, it dawned on me that once again there is hidden proof that the witness cult is and anti-christ cult.

  The org took up the secular term deliberately and I remember it explained once that there was nothing "christian" about this era:) I do believe it was to set them apart as they did take the time to explain why they used the other terminology (probably in "The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life"-The Truth book)

  Trolley Stands Up, Door-to-Door Work Down?

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  several threads have discussed the increased use of of the trolley work by witnesses in various countries (e.g, australia, new zealand, the states, canada and britain to name a few).

  several posters have described trolley settings as largely ignored by passersby and/or the witnesses immersed in everything other than appearing ready and waiting to make contact with passersby.

  what impact will this increased shift to trolley work have on the hallmark feature of jws, their door-to-door work?

  A family member who is a pioneer has a standing date each week to do cart work. There is a schedule and she is in it every week. She re-arranges her schedule to be on the cart-for whatever it is worth. She has a big minivan for regular work though, and you know how most don't contribute to gas, so I can see why she'd like the cart.

  It will cost more. I wonder how that will figure into the money grubbing? I wonder if the professionals that are hired are JW contractors? I also wonder if there was some crazy arse litigation or new laws regarding safety in Spain.

  My field service group leader wants to meet me

  by Powermetal4ever in

  2. friends

  he kind of invited me to a barbecue or something, and asked if my parents wanted to come along as well.

  it felt really awkard, i mean i am 20++.

  i was sceptic, so he told me he would send me a sms about an other fitting day instead.i probably didnt look too happy about that either, so he told me that maybe he could invite some other in the group.

  Being marginalised by JW's and family, how to combat it?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when one leaves the religion and fades it starts to become obvious that they move on with out you but this is not enough for them so they also marginalize you, loose respect for you etc.

  they even tell stories about you.

  example my wife talking to my mother tells her that i now believe aliens came to this planet and created man.

  Move forward. If you keep looking behind you, you will trip yourself up.

  None of these people will cry when you are dead. They won'tshow up for funeral. Who CARES what they think? They will only show up later to try and get their hooks in those that really mourn you. (Warn them of those tactics).

  Live well-best witness you can give them of consequences of leaving Borg.
