Thanks so very much!!! Especially for the Awake magazines from the 60s, a lot of good nuggets in these magazines, as evidenced by them being removed from the WT CD.
Also downloaded ok in Safari for the apple folks!

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

The subliminal message is the society saying "just get the spouse HERE, we'll do the teaching".
This seems to be the reality, women in the org are used to bring in men, with really no regard to the well being of the women. I am utterly amazed that a woman in this day and age would stand for a lot of what the organization stands for, but for many I believe their self esteem is low enough that the false friendships that they get and the need that is felt for them to go door to door, keep the KH clean amongst other menial tasks gives them something to cling to, something to make them feel important.
The article that is being dicussed here just goes way too far, far worse than the 'theocratic ministry' where it is ok to lie for the good of the organization. This article is condoning, almost instructing a member to allow abuse to go on with the hope that a UBM can become a JW. Never does this article show any concern or compassion for the gal who is getting abused.

I'm going to make a lot of photocopies of the article in question (and the WT can kiss my ass if they try crying 'copyright infringement') and send them out in the mail.
Well another approach then is if one sends an email or an electronic message to someone, send a hyperlink to the posted document, which is available for all to download freely........ -

I've been reading more of the comments on here and last night I started working on a letter I'm going to do to some Women's Rights groups here in Canada.
Any example letters would be appreciated, there are many organizations who I think would be incredulous about this sort of thing being put into print........

Do You Honestly Believe ANY Politician Will Make YOUR Life That Much Better?
by minimus ini have to believe that in this day and age, they all suck.. and in the thousands of years of politics, i don't think there's any person or party that made life all that much better.
(except maybe during fdr's reign)....but i'm not sure if all those programs that were instituted didn't produce the mess we're in now..

What I know is a politician (or collection thereof) can sure make it worse!

Maybe it is just me, but it seems that the JWs are more frequently bringing up the need for a wife, or women in general to be submissive to men. This article to me is over the top, even for the WTS, but what is going on, are they more and more focusing on the need to have women bring men to the organization???

We should scan this page and forward it to as many Women's Rights groups as possible. Something tells me they wouldn't take too kindly that millions of women in one group are being told that they should stay with an abusive husband because he might convert one day.
would not be a bad move.........

More rancid meat lovingly provided by the F&DS
by serenitynow! inin the 2/15/2012 koolaid there is an article about finding happiness in a divided household.
i found this to be particularly offensive: .
"when facing a challenge, it is important to seek scriptural counsel from publications of the faithful and discreet slave class and from the elders.

they have drilled it into the believers' brain that loyalty to the Borg comes before anything---even your spouse and children.
They sure have, my wife has stated that many times......Jehovah comes first.......she really can not wait to live on the paradise earth......smh....
