I've had my laugh for the day. The WTS is completely sexist and I have no relationship with my parents.

Militant feminism in the Organization!!
by FreeFallin inpuffsrule post on women's place in the society prompted me to share this website with you.
this group's name is fathers for life...and what a strange little club it is.. i hope i get this right...forever.freeshell.org/actions/jw200111.htm .
maybe someone can make it clickable.. in this article they slam the october and november 2001 for being "too pro-woman," and go on to give many examples, including the one about battered wives.. .

When JW's Can't Pigeon Hole A Situation....
by Englishman in......it puts them into a state of disequilibrium.. take, for example, the case of someone who has been disfellowshipped from the organisation.
heads will nod knowingly and wisely if that person should:.
do drugs.. become alcoholic.. become promiscuous.. such is the price paid for someone who "turns his back on jehovah".

Some Antis are just as bad as JW's
by DIM inspecifically i am talking about the "apostates" or antis who plaster cars or send people things in the mail with the truth about "the truth".
to me, this seems exactly like the jw's banging on doors on a saturday morning.
exactly the same thing, just from the other end.

excellent subject. I've often thought about this myself. My wife and I have an extremely close relationship - closer than most JW marriages I've seen (I can only speak from my 1st hand experience - I can't say ALL JW marriages), and even my own parents. We are both going back to school for degrees, even making good money now, and are extremely happy. The result - my mom doesn't really call me anymore and if she does, she says little biting things to me and says "i can't believe you are not going to be in paradise with me" oh well.

Why say Jehovah anymore?
by Bang inthe wtbts uses the word 'jehovah' to lord it over people.
it's great that they picked on a made up name - it's a gift horse in the mouth for you to be so at liberty to drop it.
(i love sayings, you know, a gift , horse / pride, and from their own mouth?)..

I don't call my mom and dad by their first names, and there's no evidence that God's name was in the New Testament, so I prefer not to use it. Unless i'm talking about that religion that I grew up in.

dungbeetle...hmmm...mulling my thoughts over some cheesecake....
i agree with support groups for xjw's.....even placing seeds of doubt in the minds of people that we love and may be doubtful. I absolutely agree with educating the general public.
I disagree with sending active JW's apostate material that they did not request. what is the point? whether we are talking about knocking on someone's door (jehovah's witness) or mailing out apostate material, it all amounts to unsolicited propaganda. which puts both groups in the same boat.
i think alot of JW's feel good after a long day out in service. I think alot of people who mail out unsolicited apostate material or even do some picketing feel good too. Feel good about themselves. I don't think "making myself feel good" should be a motive for doing anything of this nature.
anyway, thats it. I know alot of people disagree with me, but this is just my opinion.

To me, this seems exactly like the JW's banging on doors on a Saturday morning. Exactly the same thing, just from the other end. Both sides should get a life. I'm out of the borg, but you won't see me protesting their meetings or sending people information. (a) it makes them think that they are right, since they are receiving persecution and (b) if they really want to investigate, eventually they will. Look at all of the people who post here!

Were any divorced over oral sex?
by gumby inlet me explain:.
in times past, the society's policy was that a witness mate could divorce their mate who demanded or had them perform oral sex and persisted with their views.. later the policy was revised to mean a witness mate could divorce their mate who had oral sex with someone.....outside of the marriage.. are there any here who had this experience with the old arrangement, or do you know of any cases in which this happened?.
my reason for asking is, i wonder how many lives were ruined by another wt blunder.

two people who are married can do whatever they want together, as long as both parties agree to it. I would never volunteer any information - its nobody's business. Wives / Husbands who feel "guilty" or something are complete idiots.

according to a few hardcore Prince fans that I know, the new album is a bit preachy but the music is incredible. I don't think Prince is going anywhere for a long time....he may not have radio hits anymore, but I don't think he cares. His albums sell and his concerts sell out.

What kind of music do you listen to?
by Leander ini'm a music junkie, i like pretty much all types of music.
but in particular i would have to say jazz is my favorite, but not the watered down kenny g style of jazz.
i prefer the straight ahead, hard bop type of jazz.. lately i've been really getting into psychedelia rock.

DIM
favorite bands / artists are:
The Chameleons
John Lennon / The Beatles
Television Personalities
The Cure
Neil Young
Kings of Convenience
Babybirdmost of these would fall under "indie" or underground music, mostly out of the UK or Europe. I also listen to some country (Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons), rap (Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg) and soul (Marvin Gaye, Shuggie Otis).
