  The WT Headship Principle (tm): Did you ever REALLY buy it?

  by Open mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i believed that god was the big boss and his first-line supervisor was jesus.. .

  everything beyond that got a bit shaky for me throughout my jw life.. .

  but this bit, i never bought into for even an instant: the husband is the head of the wife.. .

  Naw,I was 16 when I left,and saw my mom and sister be doormats.Actually wondered if I might be gay,cause the idea of a man being my "head' was sooo repulsive to me.When I got out into the real world,I found lots of men that were only to happy to let a stronger partner take the lead.Thats better for everyone I think.Consistant good decision making seals it.Not if one has a penis or not.

  MY DAD IS SHUNNING ME!

  well this was no surprise to me that my dad was doing this.

  m df brother went round last night to borrow some tools and my dad just had to mention that he was dissapointed with the family and how we don't go to the meetings anymore.

  he told my brother that he could not have a proper farther son relationship as he does not share the same faith and hope for the future as him, and if an emergencey situation was to present it'self then he would be their for him.

  Moshe,that would work with normal people,but the dubs would just see it as more persecution and as a sign that they were doing what their god wanted.Ive seen it first hand,they turn any criticism into an assault from Satan. Hairy hegoat,I hate them too...I really do.I lost many years of my dads company because of the dogma they instilled into his head.Him being an elder made him have to be "an example".Then,when he got older and really needed some help,he saw that the only one he could count on was me,the bad association.I believe that it gave him something to think aboutmthat wasnt on the dub's agenda..fockers...

  Is Stevie Nicks the Anti-Christ?

  im really worried.... i have 7574 songs stored on my computer, but matter what playlist i use, sooner or later it will start playing a stevie nicks or fleetwood mac song.

  spooky.... stevie nicks was of course forbidden during the great watchtower music purge of the mid eighties; naturally; with songs like sorcerer little lies and my little demon.. .

  now i think my computer is demonized.. .

  BTW,we were always told that The Eagles and John Denver were demonized too.So,you might be in more danger than you realize..

  i still follow the basic framework of the judo-christian values... tempered with empathy and sympathy.

  what say the rest of you ??

  what is your moral compass ?.

  Me.I think about how I would feel if the situation was reversed and I was on the recieving end.but that goes along with my "I am my own God" theory.
