Same as in the islam, to MHO, the dumber you keep them the more you can dominate them!!
And the J.W.'s just deny it is a male-dominated society!! *LOL*
why are women in the watchtower society not allowed to give talks, pray in front of men and all the other crap that they keep them from doing?
i think this submission thing is out of control.

there is a question at the end of all this i promise!!
please bear with me.. hi all, this is the first time i've been to any site like this.
so, quickly... i'm ethan, from ky, but currently in michigan.
Stormrider:
Do yourself a favour and visit this website: http://www.truluck.com/html/six_bible_passages.html
i told a friend just recently that i had been raised a jw.
she had a very interesting observation/opinion about the witness families and individuals she has known.. first i should say that she is an intelligent, well-travelled girl, with a very clear-eyed knack for cutting to the chase on a given subject.
she has a gift for not letting trivialities cloud an issue, and she was not raised in any religion.
I agree too. But wouldnt you be unhappy if you cannot live your own live?Always have to do what other people tell you to do, have to live by these stupid rules, as a kid being dragged to meetings and being dragged along houses instead of playing f.i foootball with your friends? One ex dub told me that for a very long time he thought nobody loved him as he didnt have any friends at school????? Only years later did he realize it was because he was a J.W.!! Isnt that sad?
.
maybe it's just me but, it seem like "elders" respond extremely quickly to "sexual misconduct" as long as it does not involve their own family members.
true or false?
Wolfgirl..
Perhaps that's because it's forbidden for them to read any erotic/pornografic stuff, and these old men have to get their "juicy" stories from somewhere, what do you think?
Hatt's off Mr. Anderson!!!
You have more guts in your little finger than the whole WTS together!!!
ok, i'm new to this site.
i'm currently questioning a lot of things.
i do not want to be "preached at" by either side; that'll just make me leave.
Hi Wolfgirl,
If you want to know everything about the UN business, proof included, then visit: http://www.watchtowernews.org/, click in the right top!
Take care...
have you ever noticed how you seem to go from one mess to another?
without going into the details just yet....i have just spent the last 6 months getting my head together and getting back on my own two feet after leaving my husband and i have now managed to stop myself in my tracks and f**k up once again.
i dunno what to do.....im feeling pretty low and desperate at the moment and worst of all....lost.
its horrible to be carrying a child and not really want it.
Well, Kat.... if you had thought of that before, or arent you allowed to use contraceptives??
If he isnt freaked about it, why should you? He loves you and will support you I presume so you two should be able to handle the whole world! And IF he gets DF"s so what?? There is life after that, a very good one to that, and according to all the post here, a much better one to that!
If you are already divorced from your 1st husband, then you can marry straight away if you would like. And dont get upset by what other people say, it's your life! Be happy!
one benefit that jws get from being jehovah's people is the knowledge of good hygiene.
before i came to be a witness, i did not think it was important to brush my teeth thoroughly or wash under my arms real good and use deodarant.
i also tended to be a pack rat with a messy car.
We jw not perfect. we make mistakes and we learn from mistakes. Nobody perfect. The elders correct us, if we smell or if we dirty. Worldly people have bragged about how clean jw leave assembly halls. Some you people just wish to overlook that fact
Learn from mistakes?? Apparently not!!! The child abuse cases proof that!
Why do you need an elder to correct you if you smell dirty? Cant you do anything on your OWN??? How pathetic!!!!! My mother told me how to wash myself when I was VERY young, that was enought for the rest of my life!
Ofcourse an assembly hall looks clean, like little kids you are told to clean up and as every J.W. does as he is told to, everybody jumps up, want to score points in case of Armageddon!! lol

Sorry Kat, our replies came through at the same time! But now that I know what happened.....Does this guy loves you? If he does then you're not alone, are you? Have you told him yet? And 40 isnt that old to become a father again!! Plenty of people nowadays wait a bit longer to become parents! Take care....

Well, Kat732, I think most people been there, done that! Like said before, most of the time you have a few options, make a list of the plusses and minusses as that will do the trick most of the time! Take care! Good luck!
