  As a former marcher for woman's rights, I'd say to the elders and the WTS, "Keep your laws off my body!"

  And that scripture, "Be babes to badness"? I had to laugh because I'm one bad-ass babe!

  Happy JW Marriages the Impossible Dream?

  by IslandWoman in

  1. social
  2. family

  while it is not impossible to have a happy marriage in the jw religion for many it is hard, for some it is very hard to maintain happiness in their marriage.

  the watchtower raises the bar so very high in every aspect of life, marriage included.

  the watchtower literature encourages a jw married couple to be practically perfect, or at least that is the goal set before them.

  EDIT: any by 'omit this part', I mean, stop teaching that women need to be submissive or treated in any way as having a different status than men - women can't give public talks or major parts, conduct watchtower/bookstudies, must wear something on her head when performing spiritual activities in the presence of her husband or a brother (why not make her wear this ALL the time, and make it cover the WHOLE head.....), etc.

  Thank you, Xander!

  I remember this crap-filled teaching as a young woman sitting in the KH praying for a husband that I could be submissive to and thinking, "Why can't I just have an EQUAL partner?"

  My father didn't make matters any better. Whenever I had a free thought, he'd say, "That's what you get for doing your own thinking!" or "If you can't be a submissive woman, no man will want to marry you."

  How far did the WT get me?

  Let's see. I married at 22 to a man I was living with because my parents sent me a letter telling me I'd be better off marrying him than living with him because living with someone was unforgivable in the eyes of the Society, not Jehovah (or any other God or Goddess). They were more concerned with their rep in the KH than my happiness. As it turns out, my husband is bisexual and after many years of bearing that pain and burden, we are finally (and thankfully!) divorcing.

  I got married for the wrong reasons to the wrong man. It was in part thanks to my wonderful dubby upbringing and brainwashing. Lord knows I tried to make my marriage work because, "Jehovah hates a divorcing."

  No one should endure years of pain and misery with someone just to chase an ideal that even the best humans among us have a hard time doing.

  Cesar is mightier than Jehovah

  by Faraon in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  one thing that was clear in the nbc is that in most cases the wt editorial and real estate corp. only sends child molesters to the police in states where they are required to do so.

  if they are following biblical mandates or their conscience, how come they only report them when they must do so by state law?.

  why is it that jehova's organization obeys cesar's law only when they are forced to do so?

  I've wondered about that whole "Caesar's things to Caesar" too. But all one has to do is look at the org from the outside and you can see how it's very much the harlot on the back of the beast.
