Women's Role

by loveneverfails in

so as you can see this is my first post here...it's going to sound a bit jumbled i'm sure.. i stopped going to meetings exactly a year ago primarily due to my realization of my role as a "woman" (well i'm 22 but anyway..).

to me, being a jw woman means a life as a subserviant housewife who can make no decisions and can only excel by pioneering.

i realized that's the way the whole bible is...totally male-dominant.

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome guys!

I'm hoping to get used to the board design and meet some interesting people.

In response, no I did not have to wear a kleenex over my head while doing the fire alarm haha. I've seen my mom pull the ol' kleenex trick too many times to count...

Merfi-

That is simply insane. I've had elders infringe upon my life to an extent, but that sounds like harassment! I want that sense of freedom too...but I don't want to stop talking to my mother, so I've been in a standstill for a long time.

I agree that the mics issue is ridiculous. That reminds me of the time I got to watch a fire alarm at a convention once because there were not enough men to do it. Like you said, how progressive...

I like the way the society throws in statements about how a fine husband will take his wife's view into account, even though he makes the final decision. I'd rather rule in hell than serve in heaven...or serve men for life I should say.
