one of my all time favorite groups .

Female Adults Praying In The Company of Male Children

by serotonin_wraith in

just a simple question.. within the jws, if a woman needs to pray for the group because no baptized man is present, she has to cover her head as a mark of respect/submission (take your pick).

it applies even if the male is a young child.

my question is, does the rule still apply if there's a male baby present?

Would you ever consider Going Back?

after discovering what you have about the watchtower society would you ever consider going back to the jw's?

White Dove

Yes! I would go back to "corrupt" the brothers there and to rob the contribution boxes. You betcha! Oh god, the fun I'd have!

Proof that molesters are at the Kingdumb Hell

by cultswatter in

notice that the dubs are in their "hall" clothes (which is not unusual) .they must be expecting molesters at the khall.

.

You know, kids are small enough to give a good punch where it counts. Yeah, why all the meeting clothes? I always wondered why the men and boys wear biz casual and the women and girls wear dresses to a PICNIC?! Oh and the dress only rule for females, could it be that dresses offer easier access?

JWs and narcissism

by Hortensia in

i've been thinking about this for a while, so was surprised to see another poster start a thread about narcissism just when i was going to do so.

however, his thread isn't really the same as what i had in mind.

i was thinking about the jw belief that jehovah, jesus, all the angels, satan and all the demons and the entire world are watching their entire lives, every single move.

When any of my family tells me how special and extra nice and loving JW's are, I tell them that I see the same thing done by non-JW's and that they don't make a big deal of it. I ask them why JW's always make such a big deal of what others do without thinking about it? Yeah, it reaks of narcisism.

JUST FINISHED talking to my dad, & wow, what a door knob he is.

sorry to put it that harshly.

i posted previously that i wrote my parents a heart-felt letter, an after-months-of-fighting-letter, my dad responded, i wrote back 2 times and he didn't respond for 2 and a half weeks.

so yesterday, i called him to ask if he got my last two emails and he was short with me and nervous and wierd, i don't know why i expected different.. today he called back to say how sorry he was for being short and nervous and wierd, that he was up all night because he was rude and he knew it, his words.

White Dove

That's hard. I don't know how it will go with my dad and sister. I need to tell them but feel like they don't need that kind of heartache right now. I'm not sure how to handle it, but Flipper gave some good ideas. Take it slowly and just focus on happy non-JW stuff for now. I'm going to try it.

When one JW runs over another!

by Gill in

the story was kept hushed up, much as in any 'abuse' case that goes on in the wt world but, jws don't like anything to make the wt society look bad.. one jw woman out on 'the misery', reversed into and dragged down the street another jw woman who then broke both arms, ribs, pelvis etc.

infact, she is lucky to still be alive.

this horror was not announced at any kh in the country and kept quiet.

My uncle could have made a killing suing another JW for a wrong committed against him but his parents would not allow it. He was a grown man but his dad was an elder and the mother a typical elderette who could have made his life hell as he lived with them at the time.
