One of my final "wake-up" moments was when a bunch of us brothers got called to the back room and counselled for not doing enough to reach out for ministerial servant positions, because there was such a shortage. I remember the elder saying that it was a slap in the face to the sisters who were doing more, and could be ministerial servants if only they were men. And I remember thinking to myself, why should that prevent them, especially if they were meeting the qualifications, and there was such a demand for qualified servants. I was well into my fade at the time, and it just helped confirm to me that wasn't the 'truth'.

JW attitudes to women
by Frazzled UBM ini would be very interested to hear from you ladies on this one.
i know that the society keeps women in subjugation through the headship cr@p but didn't ahve any sense about hoew prehistoric the attitudes are until the other day when we were driving out of the supermarket car park and my wife spotted a woman dressed in tight shorts (it has been very hot here) and she commented 'they say that women who dress like that dserve to be raped'.
i did a wtf and overreacted 'how can you blame the victim like that - such attitudes give men a lciense to commit rape and make women feel they are to balme if they get raped which in turn means that rape doesn't get reported and it gopes on with impunity.

No. I wouldn't consider it 'love' if there were such a huge condition attached to it.

this was becoming too embarrassing for them and they suddenly became pressed for time.
It always amazes me how pressed for time they become whenever they get challenged. Watching them in the ministry, you'd never guess they were in such a hurry.

Jehovah's Witnesses are the only people who don't practice war and who preach worldwide!
by EndofMysteries inthis is what somebody has been telling me, trying to convince me aside from anything one can say or cause reason for doubt, as the evidence that they are the true religion and true people of god.
they are convinced because while 'all other' christian and other religions support war, troops, etc, jw's don't and they are the only one's who carry god's name and preach.
nothing else matters.

What would be your reply to that?
They just wait for their god to wipe out the billions of people on earth who don't think and act like them. I guess they're more partial to mass genocide.

A friend of mine from work went to a JW funeral and got called on shortly afterward, out in the ministry. Apparently his wife had a conversation with someone at the funeral, which they mistook for interest in their religion. They then proceeded to get their names and address off of the guest registry.
True story. You can't make this shit up.

but although Peavy is a good pitcher- he's no Bumgarner.
He was a few years ago before age and injuries caught up with him.

she might be alive to sue the bejesus out of them and the hospital were it not for the doctrine.
No argument here. The WT's blood doctrine claims another casualty.

Not to defend the blood doctrine in any way, because it's indefensible, but it sounds like the hospital really dropped the ball on this one.

Who was the best batman?

Christian Bale was the best IMO.
Don't you think Clooney was good at the role of playboy Bruce Wayne.
Maybe, but the movie was so bad no one could save it.

I'm pulling for the Royals, just because I enjoy seeing a small market team with a low payroll upset the balance of things. I'm also rooting for Ned Yost. I wish the Brewers had never gotten rid of him.
But either way, at least I don't have to suffer through the Cardinals winning another series.
