  Were The Sisters Submissives or "Jezebels" In Your Hall?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  in my experiences, i saw many women that really took a back seat to anything a "brother" had to say.

  i was always amazed as to how some sisters were sooooooooooooo submissive!

  they really stood out from the "jezebel" types.. if you were a "sister", how were you treated and how did you respond?.

  crap i just deleted my post!!*sighs*
  
  the body of elders at my halls were so sexist. they disrespected the sisters all the time and had the worst view of opinionated sisters.
  i can't say what one of them said about a woman he worked for cause it's too awful.
  
  they're so stupid.
  Some of them had smarter wives than them so they had to double the dissing.

  What did you not like about the paradise?

  i have always loved it when the seasons changes.

  i was always told that we would have temerate weather all of the time and the seasons wouldn't chage.

  i always thought i would miss the changing leaves, budding flowers after it has been so cold, and the snow.

  i'm with serotonin on this one......;who the heck would possibly want to live forever with ONLY jehovah's witnesses.
  
  we would have all the time in the world to do everything and travel....and see what?? no more eiffel tower, no more egyptian pyramids, no more statue of liberty, no more sidney opera house,....
  
  forests, desert, sea and mountain. while that's really nice i'd like to see some man made things. and since it's not exactly like it's doctors, engineers, architects and artists making up the organization...;how the hell would we even get there?? on foot?
  
  if they only took enough time to think about it they would realize they really want to start living now. What a shame of a waste of life! i feel angry and sorry for my friennds who are still in giving the best years of their lives away to a FALSE ORGANIZATION!

  Funny things you used to believe

  one of my classics was because the bethel printing room was so clean then it must be jehovah's organization.. now i realize, of course, that most businesses keep their operations equally clean.. doh!.

  i didn't know the elders lived large!!!
  so glad i almost never gave contributions!!!
  
  towards the end of my stay in the witnesses i thought the governments were going to turn on us and torture us because of our faith!
  i was in such a heightened state of paranoia that i used to sweat buckets during the meetings and feel dizzy and sick.

  Mr. Flipper witnesses to Elder in Front of Store on Child Abuse Settlements

  by flipper in

  hello folks .

  as other posters have mentioned , i feel , too , that this is something that needs to be kept in the forefront of practicing jehovah's witnesses minds , as they will never hear about these settlements from their elders or governing body.

  so , you folks know me well enough that i don't have a shy bone in my body , and if i see an opportunity i will take it.

  I don't think it's silly at all bringing this up because it shows a major flaw in the system --the 2 witness rule....
  
  which is damn rigid in these cases!
  
  but when you sin by smoking or immorality there is no one person comes to you, then two , bla bla bla it's straight to the elders!
  
  Bumble bee said he'll talk to his elder friends and they'll all ask themselves questions...;what i truly think is HE WOULDN'T DARE!
  
  how many of you guys actually admitted you were doubting doctrine while still in and wanting to stay in (for all the wrong reasons)??
  
  the furthest i ever went was saying " sometimes i WONDER if armageddon will really happen".....that was enough to have the brothers eyeballs popping out of their sockets in amazement.

  on the 11th of this month it'll be a year that i have been disfellowshipped.

  i didn't dread being disfellowshipped mostly because i had underestimated the resolve of individual witness friends of mine to shun me.

  i aslo had no idea what being all alone from one day to the next felt like.

  i didn't dread being disfellowshipped mostly because i had underestimated the resolve of individual witness friends of mine to shun me. I aslo had no idea what being all alone from one day to the next felt like.
  
  a few days ago i had a weird dream.
  
  I love books and i'm always in some barnes and noble or borders store. So in my dream i go to pick up a book i had ordered. I get to the pick-up counter, the guy looks for my order on the computer and then tells me "i'm sorry but it's been brought to my attention that you're disfellowshipped....". I don't let him finish his sentence because the room is spinning around me and i'm ready to burst into tears. He tells me to not make a scene and to sit at a table nearby where he comes to talk to me in a hushed voice. He basically tells me that i can't come to the store anymore or order books from them because i was disfellowshipped. Then comes the realization that i had tried to hide it from the world. Being disfellowshipped was no longer only among witnesses but i was going to be shunned by the whole world little by little.
  
  i woke up very sad and have been feeling this way ever since that dream.
  
  When trying to explain how i felt right after being disfellowshipped to a 'worldly acquaintance' i said:
  
  imagine your country is the only part of the world that is inhabited and the rest is an endless desert. I feel like i've been outcast into the desert and can't go back in"
  
  i think those old feelings revisited me during this dream.
  
  How did some of you live being disfellowshipped? those first few weeks when your whole life changes completely.

  SURVEY: Who Believes In "God"?

  i believe that maybe god created us but he is not present anymore.
  
  if that's not the case, i believe there is a universal intelligence. an order and wisdom that has evolved over millions of years.
  
  I hope god exists but that makes me wonder how he can let all this suffering happen.
  it's a dilemma i have to live with.

  jw Massage therapist

  what is the deal with this?

  it seems i hear more and more about some jw woman who is a massage therapist.

  i can't think of a more unseemly occupation for a jw woman that is legal.

  anewme:"If the therapist can keep his or her pants on and force the clients to behave too I think it would be a really lucrative and satisfying career."
  
  you sound so ignorant, you don't even have a clue how much. maybe you're just PROJECTING what you would do in such a situation onto others.
  
  anewme:"There are medical massage therapists who perform medical massage under the professional license of a
  medical doctor or licensed chiropractor who is required by law to be onsite during the massage treatments. Often massages performed in a professional office atmosphere of this kind are done during normal business hours and with many other people in the office and are usually done partially draped.
  
  
  This may be the kind of massage you are offering to the public which after years receives respect and praise."
  
  
  my reply: Massage therapy can stand on its own 2 feet. although it closely collaborates and it is vigorously recommended to have a good relationship with the medical profession it doesn't need to use it as a crutch.
  
  People who think inside the box and jump on the bandwagon once a majority gives its ok are not innovators but just followers. I for myself don't need that type of security and am sure glad i don't.
