"Bitchdom"

by butalbee in

some of us are bigger bitches than others.............. .

bitchdom .

when i stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.

I agree with Larc, I work in a male dominated industry - Finance- Other women I know call this company the "Old Boys Club", our Monday meetings are held in "The Bull Pen" but I have found that it really depends on the male. Insecure males are intimidated by a woman who knows her stuff, but I would say, most males who are secure with themselves are quite comfortable in an work environment that includes women. The men who seem intimidated by me are young guys, right out of college who work under me, or have to have meetings covered by me. I don't know if they ever call me a bitch, I hope not, but I wouldn't really care if they did. I just chalk it up to inexperience with women.

Suggestion re: Attacks on Bill Bowen

by Kismet in

jw
friends

it seems that we have many new aliases popping up right now.

all posting attacks against bill bowen personally.. note they cannot argue the facts of abuse occuring but decide to go after one of the faces that represent the whole issue at hand, bill bowen.. it just goes to show how desperate some people become trying to protect their high control religion regardless the cost to children and adult children of past abuse.. i would like to suggest that we adopt the same advice our parent's gave us while growing up as dubs.

just ignore the taunts, the insults.

ConnieLynn

Thanks for the awesome advice..in addition, I am happy to have the description of a Troll provided by D8TA. I wasn't exactly sure what a Troll was until today.

Bill Bowens Trail of Naivete

by Psychdigg in

jw
friends

i did a search on bill bowens postings in this forum.

very interesting.

revealing!.

ConnieLynn

I have never posted in anger here before, but whoever you are Psychdigg, go away...You obviously know nothing about child abuse and live in some shallow cave that belongs to the WT. How can you possibly attack anyone who has worked so hard to bring to light something so dark and vile. If you have a better idea on how to handle the situation, let's hear it. If you don't agree with Bill's method's at exposing the filth going on in the org, come up with a better idea..or shut up.

I don't think I knew anyone in Murfressboro...I did live in HSV, AL for a while, which may even be closer than Knoxville area.. I live in the Pacific Northwest U.S. now, but send me an email if you want to chat.

JW response to CNN article

by dubla in

jw
friends

i just showed the (bill bowen) cnn article to my father(active jw), and he started defending the jws before he even finished reading it.

why are they always so averse to looking at possible flaws?

its frustrating to see them constantly defending the faith, blindly.

ConnieLynn

Dubla, I can relate...My mom - a JW who has mastered the art of shunning, and calls me once a year at memorial time- called me yesterday to tell me about the article on CNN and in the same breath, tell me why it was misleading. However, this is a woman who was willing to die because of the blood issue a month ago. She will never see any wrong in the "org".... I wasn't even given the opportunity to tell her what I KNEW was really going on. It is so sad how controlled her thinking is..
