30Would Blondie or Mary ever make it as Elders in your old Congregation?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwe know the wts will never except woman as elders.in the last year as a member of jwd,i have learned more from blondie and mary than any elder in my congregation.all the elders in my congregation look like they go thru the motions.they are more like policy enforcers than teachers.. do you think that by excepting woman, some men would be embarassed to how little they know?
does the wts know some woman would better teachers?
is it more like a men's club?

Why Is Everything Always Wrong To A Jehovah's Witness???
by minimus innothing is ok. everything is problematic..... what if you stumble someone???--------.
let's say you want to invite someone over, you gotta worry about someone thinking your favoring this one over another.
you might be accused of having "cliques".

Be careful if you have people over and you're watching tv, make sure no woman in a bathing suit comes on.
Do you quickly get up and change the channel or let it be?
What will they think of you and your family?
and it made me laugh cos i remember when i was little and anything my mom thought we shouldnt see came on she used to stand in front of the tv with her skirt held out so we couldn't see the screen. it was humerous even then, we used to try and get to see it and she'd stay even longer and do a silly dance or whatever in front of the tv while the rest of the family screamed at ther to move and missing even more of what we were watching. she's cool even if a little mad (ALOT of the maddness got passed to me ).

Revived beast sick of Unipolar Babylon the Great
by proplog2 intoday putin accused the united states of making the world a more dangerous place by pursuing policies aimed at making it "one single master".
attacking the concept of a "unipolar" world in which the united states was the sole superpower, he said: "what is a unipolar world?
no matter how we beautify this term it means one single centre of power, one single centre of force and one single master.".

In connection with this the role of multilateral
diplomacy is significantly increasing. The need
for principles such as openness, transparency and
predictability in politics is uncontested and the use of force should be a really exceptional
measure, comparable to using the death penalty in
the judicial systems of certain states.
However, today we are witnessing the opposite
tendency, namely a situation in which countries
that forbid the death penalty even for murderers
and other, dangerous criminals are airily
participating in military operations that are
difficult to consider legitimate. And as a matter
of fact, these conflicts are killing people
hundreds and thousands of civilians!I like that quote proplog - especially as uk is non death penalty but quite happy in iraq and afghanistan

Establishing a household budget....anyone good at it?
by onlycurious inwe are going to be building our first home this fall or next spring.
kind of depends on the finances because all the prep work with the septic, utilities and retaining walls has really put a dent in our savings.. in the meantime, i did a little quick analysis on our spending habits and found that we spend on average about $1000.00 on food a month for a family of 6. one of them is a baby.. so, we need to bite the bullet and draw up a budget because this is ridiculous!.
so, can anyone offer advice on the simplest way to do this?

We write a shopping list of what we need and stick to it. No use buying stuff just cos it's on offer if you don't usually have it! A sis in my old cong with 5 kids used to do bulk buys once a month and then perishables once a week.
And the thing that saved the most money? Cutting down on alcohol :(

Honeymoon Disfellowshippings
by dozy inone of the anomalies of the disfellowshipping process is the common situation when someone who is unscripturally divorced remarries.
in these occasions , the instruction is to always disfellowship the individual , regardless of repentance or attitude - what is referred to as a honeymoon df in elders jargon.
hence you have the (to me) bizarre situation of privately reproving a child molester , rapist or murderer one week and disfellowshipping a newly remarried middle aged sister who has been divorced for 20 years the next week.

A lovely sister in my cong stuck with her physically abusive da'd husband. He eventually stabbed her to death.
Its such a lovely religion that allows you to get beaten and not have a spripural divorce!

A good jw is a self righteous religious bigot the so-so one may take on board that people can have a point of view that differs from the borg.
