  Contemporary Gender Distinction - Why?

  by rune in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that as society progresses towards greater equality (even if there are temporary hindrances along the way), the question as to whether efforts towards reducing gender distinction should be attempted arises in some of our minds.

  clearly not everyone is going to agree on this.

  but i think anyone who is truly reasonable is going to desire that all people are treated more equitably, in fact as much as possible.

  Serendipity - "Advertising is still ruled by men, so it's puzzling why men doing the creative content in advertising are willing to sellout their fellow men. "
  That's an easy one. The biggest advertiser in the nation is Proctor and Gamble and women are the largest buyers of P&G products. This goes way back to the time of the original radio "Soap Operas" :-)

  Were you allowed to take sex education in school, when raised a JW?

  when i was in my freshman year, they had us take a half semester of sex education and another one was drivers education.

  the sex education class taught good stuff for a young teen to know, especially if they were in families who were kind of lax about teaching what needed to be know.

  as an example, one girl in our class actually asked if you could get pregnant the first time and another asked if the pulling out method was as good as a condom.

  We had sex-ed starting in 5th grade back we everything was in one class (didn't start switching till 6th grade). I don't recall there ever being a permission slip. It was mostly about all the STDs you can get and not much about getting pregs. Then the same thing was repeating each time with more detail all the way through school. They never did those "How To Put A Condom On" classes that you hear about, but maybe it was because if you were too dumb to figure it out you shouldn't have sex.

  HAHAHA!! This is too funny. Even if these items were put in purposely it could be that the artists are just bored creative people. They are probably sick of painting Jesus and Paradise all the time that they wanted to spice it up a little.

  Met a Laid off Bethel Couple

  i met a married couple caught up in the recent bethel layoffs.

  they are a fairly young couple in their mid to upper 30s, i didn't think to ask which department they worked in before being laid off.

  the couple was driving cross country from new york to california, and stopping overnight at jw homes along the way.

  Driving across the country at these gas prices. OUCH!! They should have done the math because it probably is cheaper to fly JetBlue.

  In 2000 I drove from Boston to Los Angeles. Gas prices were less than half of today's price at it cost me about $160 in gas. So let's say $320 plus the inconvenience and food. For about $100 more they could get there in 5.5 hours and watch worldly TV the whole way.

  I would have to say there is no such thing as an unbiased documentary. All documentaries whether they are films or even news reports have an intent. Now it is possible not to know your intent and the message you are trying to get across when you first start filming and it will come to your as you compile your footage. But, a documentary that shows each side very evenly with no direct message is just plain boring and your chances of making your investment back will be slim.

  Another thought that came across my mind is that it will be almost impossible to get cooperation from the witnesses. Sure some will talk but many won't in fear that if your docu does turn negative and the WTS knows about their participation they will be 86'd.
