Had not thought about the Women's Studies as another place to send the article...thanks, would be some pertinent information about how some groups are not doing anything to help step violence against women, in fact are condoning it in certain situations.

"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?

hitting their mate is not a serious offense and that how their women should behave is more important
What forume are they being told this in? I can not imagine this being stated in front of the sisters???
this twisted idea of headship ruins marriages.
Agree fully!

This stuff needs to get out, for the public to see, if only for the benefit of the poor mind-controlled sisters who may stay in a relationship getting the s**t kicked out of them because of this filthy propaganda.
Using the template letter that Mary provided I have sent a link to the article to domestic violence organizations in the area where I live.
Have also modified the letter a bit and am planning on providing to the local newspapers as well as television stations. They are very quick to give the WTS air time for a new build or a local convention.......
Oftentimes on the way in to work I pass three JW women handing out WTs/Awakes, I am carrying a copy of the 'Selma' part of the story and going to ask them about the WTS stance domestic violence, maybe can get these ladies to think at least a little bit for themselves.

I finally drove off my wonderful jw wife...and i am so sad..
by oompa ini helped her move out this weekend so i must be a masochist too...so on top of losing every friend in my life...i have now lost my wife...and yes i asked her to leave on more than one occasion this year...we have argued for nearly five years about wt crap...nothing i could ever say would make her question anything!!!!
it was beyond frustrating...then this spring when i somehow disassociated myself and even lost my parents i knew i would never have a normal marriage no matter what...all i wanted was a normal marriage with mutual friends...that is off the table as long as she is a jw...but why could i not accept it???
why could i not shut up???

Hmmm......I'm thinking of sending the Slobbering Body members each a copy of my project as a Christmas present this year.......think they'd appreciate it? LOL!!
They would most likely all learn something from it rather thatn the programmed drivel they have always been hearing....

Not sure if this has already been posted, but it is a very good resource for finding local agencies in the United States. The first link is to the
AARDVARC: An Abuse, Rape & Domestic Violence Aid & Resource Collection
website, the second link is to a resources by state directory. Seems to be some pretty good information.
http://www.aardvarc.org/dv/states/menu.shtml
Unsure how do create hyperlinks here, so will need to cut and paste the address to your browser.

three governing body members had to sign off on this horse $hit.
Trying to think about the GB sign off, if these folks actually believe that this is correct, that it is OK to strike a woman in a situation such as this, signing off on this may have not been a big issue. From what I know the GB folks are all pretty old and they are well out of tune with the way things are these days......frightening and sickening....very sickening. How can any organization cover up child abuse as well as not do all they can to speak out and prevent spousal abuse.
