  Question: Are single sisters allowed to be missionaries in other countries?

  by Wild_Thing in

  as far as i remember, only married couples were allowed to be missionaries.

  my jw sister recently told me that single sisters can be missionaries, too.

  this sounds too progressive for jws, so i just want to verify it.

  I never knew that. I wonder why I always thought you had to be married. Was there something else in the organization that you could only do if you were a married couple?

  I always thought they were just trying to get rid of their excessive inventory from the '70s. Those books were awful!

  If you really want to score points, you should go romantic. Get up early in the morning, sneak in the kitchen, and make her the most incredible breakfast you can, and serve it to her in bed. Any woman would melt at the gesture, even if the breakfast is horrible.

  how low can they go?.

  if i remember correctly, this is the lowest number of gb members the wt has had since the gb arrangement started.

  they dont seem to be in any hurry to appoint any new gb members.

  Yep! The Governing Body has "helpers" who are basically GB members in training.

  When it comes to positions of power, there will always be people waiting to fill their shoes.

  didn't the judge rule in the candace conte trial that wts did not have a responsibility to notify the congregation only to protect them?

  i think this is hugely missing the point.

  other churches and organisations have strict policies to protect members from sex offenders but they do not 'notify' in the sense that i think these people want.. so the wt response to that particular question will be 'no.

  In my state, anyone that has the responsibility of overseeing children in any capacity, including ministers, are required by law to report abuse, even if they just suspect it.

  OMG... what happened in a bar today

  so, i'm sitting in a bar, having a drink.

  the bar participates in taptv, an online trivia thing.

  the question that came up was, "what did jehovah's witnesses call themselves before 1931".

  Of course, the correct answer was Russelites, but you and I know the REAL answer was "Bible Students", but that wasn't an option.
  

  I believe they called themselves Russellites either before they called themselves Bible Students, or maybe at the same time. When they started to splinter into sects after Russell died, one group continued to call themselves Russellites. But according to them, they were the REAL chosen ones!

  But you will never find this information in the Proclaimers book! They would have to admit that they follow man.

  Jehovah Witnesses, Elders or Elderettes, Which Sex Was More Wicked In Your Experience?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would have to say i've seen more wicked elder-ettes and jw women than men, the women can hold grudges forever and they can't forgive even the smallest sin their fellow jw commit-ed against them!.

  i wish i could share the details about my aunt and how evil she is and why all her brothers and sisters hate her with a vengeance.

  the kingdom hall she attend's is the world's worst kingdom hall, it's created a poison that's killed off dozens of good witnesses who left the organization because the elder-ettes and their kiss-ass coat-tail riding followers treated everyone outside of their clique like shit!

  I have seen what you are describing, but I still think Elders are more wicked. They are the ones with the real power to destroy people's lives. The Elderettes just have empty power that some of them use to try to make themselves seem more important than they really are, by their connection to their Elder husband.

  Women have no power or importance among Jehovah's Witnesses. Their identity is dependent upon their husband's position in the congregation. And whoever came up with that system is the real wicked one.
