i feel that headship is one of the most damaging doctrines taught in the wtbts as well as other fundy religions.
it is promoted as a way to have happier, healthier marriages and families.
in theory, maybe so.

Personally, I feel that the headship arrangement was very one sided.
It was ok for a women to give head...but, for a man to give head, well that was against bible principles.

hmmm...good question.
I don't think I've posted long enough to gain a "reputation."
The people/men on this board that I would most like to have a good honest conversation with...still have the JW Male superiority mentality and I will probably never get my wish. "Women should be seen and not heard."
It is only the women that they see as "hard ass bitches" who can get their point accross. ...and still their opinion is of little value to them.
The heavy hitters on JWD are here to get their ego stroked, nothing else....well, occasionally something else stroked.
I love women with a sense of humor...not the ones who are just out to prove they are as good as their male counterparts. I also love the gay men on here...they have big hearts and are generally the best looking (why look at joelbear!) and I would love to hug each and every one of them. If I found a decent man who is intelligent, big hearted and could sling mud at me faster than I could make a pie with it...I think I would faint.
As for the men who are assholes and could give a rats ass who's feelings they step on to prove their point...I happily skip over their posts. Of course, that's my choice.
If posters think that I am the kind of kinky bitch who would gladly gouge my 6" spiked heel into their "package" they may be right. If posters think I am good humored sweet gal with a big old heart...they may be right as well.
Anyway, I've learned it doesn't matter what people think of me. I pretty much love everyone. If you want to fight, bring it on...if you want love...here it is.
If you want a spankin....get in line!
destruction?
naah, they know that this is really never going to happen to them.. the obscure threat of "displeasing jehovah"?
no, he isn't really real to them.. social disapproval?
accidentally reading the astrology section on page 8 of their daily newspaper. meeting up with a fellow work/school mate at the door. wearing the same dress to the assembly as the sister they can't stand. dragging toilet paper on their shoe to their seat after using the RR during a meeting. having one of their boobs pop out when they come up from their baptism. getting paired with sister hearing impaired in service. marrying the pot bellied, balding nerd with glasses because he's the only "theocratic" brother available. missing their period while they are still single. having the book study at their house. wearing two different colored shoes in service because they woke up late. having someone ask them a real "good" question at the door they can't possibly answer getting old and fat and never marrying. ...to be continued, -ms. whip
it's not often talked about but in my experience a lot of witnesses have sex (or something like it) during their courtship.
and most of them never go to the elders about it.
recent case in point: my dear friend got married this past summer.
Yes.
disclaimor:.
the following is text directly from a stephen king (under his pen-name of richard bachman) novel called the regulators.
if the mods must delete this for copyright or other legal reasons, so be it.
looks to me that mr. king uses his gawd given right (write) to embellish, exaggerate, hyperbolize & conglomerate. IMHO those two figures at the door represent all that he hates in organized religious society. he's combined witnesses with pentecostals, the amish and baptist into a fictitious/or a hyperbolized non-fictitious occurance. i'm sure he's met or observed someone extreme from each sect.
either way...a look into his mind is a carnival ride into hell.

...this thread.
there are so many to choose from over the net.
i usually use the basic wallpapers that windows xp provide.. i love using "azul" wallpaper to remind me of the summer, since our summers don't last long.. .
this time of year i turn to the "autumn" wallpaper with the nice colored leaves.. .
my desktop changes often...
but, one of my favs is chris cornell during his soundgarden days. mmmm gotta love a rock god.
this one made me laugh out loud.. *** the golden age, feb. 10, 1926, p.310 ***.
air baths are good for preventing colds... what you do is strip naked mornings and evenings and then bob up and down for a while.. .
(thanks quotes!).
I think them old jeehoovers used to bob naked for apples in freezing water during christmas time.
That's until they gave up christmas of course.
Eventually as new light shone forth... they realized they didn't want to see the co's wives nakid
so they banned women from the practice.
