  The WT is again reminding women of their "proper role"

  by mjarka911 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the 3/1/06 wt questions from readers is discussing 1 cor 14:33,34 and explains the phrase "keep silent".

  after the usual claptrap and disclaimers (like how sometimes women have to substitute for baptized men in a congregation setting) - it concluded by saying women keep silent by "not raising argumentative questions that could challenge the authority of those who teach.

  " how do the women swallow this stuff and still feel grateful for "rich spiritual food"?

  Why did the JW's Shun my mother at her funeral?

  by DaveNwisconsin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mom had died on december 9, 2005. she had been loyal to that religion for 35 years.

  she had been in a nursing home for the last two years.

  some of the old ladies would come and mom would still write a letter to a "not at home" once and awhile.

  To a jw the purpose of a funeral is not to honor the person who died. They look at it as an opportunity to "give a witness" to non jws. If they don't get to do this, then why bother attending a funeral or even a wake? They don't believe she is conscious in an afterlife...so they do not see it as punishing her. They are punishing you.

  Would You Like Some Bible Based Literature?

  that's what she asked me as i was putting my laundry in my car at the laudromat.

  she was parked right next to me and she rolled down her window and had the awake and watchtower in her hands.

  i said i use to be one of jehovahs witnesses but because of the pedophile problems as well as the societies involvement in the un, i left.

  The GREATEST IRONY of Shunning and Disfellowshiping

  by Trojan in

  2. beliefs

  i have lately started to think many things over.

  as i adquire more knowledge, or other kind of knowledge, i see things more and more in another light.

  it's a strange and thrilling experience i'm going through.

  I think you're right...but the flip side of it is that if they got rid of the shunning policy, so many would leave that it would effect the bottom line. I think money is a huge part of it. If they keep people in, it assures a level of income that the society has become accustomed to.

  This is kinda funny. My daughter called this morning. She had bought a toy ark for my granddaughter, Aubrey. Aubrey is 7. Anyway, they were naming all of occupants of the ark. Aubrey asked what Noah's wife's name was.. So my daughter read the account in Genesis, but could not find a name for her. So, for now, they call her Mrs Noah. I don't recall her name... and I know in ancient times women had no status...and I'm not surprised that her name isn't listed... Is there a record of her name...does anyone know?

  Leave it to my granddaughter...

  dont pray to jehovah thourgh the wbts.i go through jesus.didnt you know?

  Exactly. Jehovah isn't impressed with which organization you belong to. When you stand before Him you will stand as an individual, not as a group. He won't judge you on the basis of how much you know. He won't give you a pop quiz to see if you have all the answers. He won't check your meeting attendance. Your salvation depends on Jesus' sacrifice....not how many watchtowers you sold. It's not about ending a prayer "in Jesus name" . It is about having a one on one relationship with the only one who can give you salvation.
