  How much of a man are you? Problems with rats, I just can't do it

  last summer, i noticed a rat living underneath my shed in the back garden.

  i tried my hardest to convince my female counterpart that we had a rat living with us, but as usual was met with a wall of silence.

  so time passed and i didn't see rodney the rat again, so i just figured that he had gone away some place else.

  That's true gaiagirl.... I guess when you grow up w/ a certain Witness mindset like I've been indoctrinated w/ your whole life, it's hard to shake that and you think of the world in that mindset...Also, thanks for bringing in the point about the media-good point.

  I guess that's true about the Middle Ages-it's just when I saw this on the news, the first thing for my JW mom to say was "Men will have no natural affection, animalistic etc." (quoting 2 Timothy about the characteristics of people in the "last days")-it scared me when she said that. I guess seeing that on the news I couldn't believe my eyes-it seemed so barbaric of eveyone NOT to stop.

  Thanks for your two cents and helping me sort through this.

That was at some urban centre in Tel Aviv, Israel. How do you explain this??!!! It scares me-makes me think maybe the Witnesses are onto something...??? Did anyone else see this? NO CARS STOPPED FOR HIM.... He was on the GROUND...
  
  WHere's Leave it to Beaver? I love Lucy? Why are TV shows and the general human society bcoming so degraded into Sex and The City, Entourage, The Sopranos, and other shows/ movies that seem "normal" now -that 60 years ago, the average person would have been completely offended by...

  Fencing Borders - Anyone Else Think This Is A Stupid Idea??

  by Seeker4 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been listening to this from the congress for some time now, and it's back in the news today.

  the idea is to build a literal fence along the us border, hundreds of miles long and costing millions of dollars, in order to keep out illegal aliens.. damn you canadian outlaws!

  oops!

  I don't have anything to say on this subject, but I just wanted to say I thought it was pretty funny that if you look down on the ads on the bottom of this page, it says stuff like, "Fencing.com-for all your fencing needs!" or whatever it says.... lol.

  True or False: Watchtower Male Stereotype

  by YoursChelbie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always used to cringe when the watchtower "family" and "youth" books would stereotype men and women into two mutually exclusive categories: "men think while women feel.

  "one trait is not better than the other they are just different...," i recall the books went on to say in so many words.

  i'm well aware both men and women have excelled in science, etc.

  I actually agree w/ what you call "stereotypes." From what I've seen in my LIfe, the various people I've worked with, gone to school with, and different men and women I've me, I generally agree with this conclusion that men are more logical, women more emotional. But of course, there's a whole range of people, which is what you seem to be getting at.

  I've always thought, though, in regards to gay or lesbian people-how hard it must be growing up as a Witness with these "roles" they're supposed to live up to. Gay men are more feminine and lesbian women are more masculine- and it must be hard growing up and "finding yourself" as a Witness-esp. around 12-16 years old if you are that way b/c to constantly be reading in the literature about how your gender is supposed to be, it must be hard..... (if you were that way AND thought it was the Truth. If you didnt' think it was the Truth, you could just leave and have that be that).

How do you think they arrived at this conclusion? I know they that genuinely must have felt something, but I don't know what that something was or is.
