  "Most women would prefer to be stay at home housewives. Women's lib did alot of damage to women!"

  the above is a quote from a jw female relative.

  this was in response to a discussion about the suffragette movement ( and the movie about it that's currently in cinemas).

  she seemed to think that it would be so much better if women were just daughters/ wives/ mothers and didn't go out to work and have career's?

  This sounds more like a businesswoman and entrepreneur than a mere possession of a husband a woman/wife.Proverbs 31:19

  New Living Translation
  She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard.

  The bible doesn't say that women are only "fit to stay at home" and be "unpaid distributors of WT cult propaganda".

  With JWs having such a low level of basic education the most vulnerable JW women often single parents have to work very hard support their families working long hours on low pay.

  Zoos I'll take a picture and show off my low-rent display.

  We used to live on a street that would enter the "best christmas decoration". Buses and cars would come by at night to look.

  How Embarrassing!!! our house was the non-pagan/ super self righteous/no community spirt/ dark one !!!!!

  We went camping and a wild pig gored our dog. Dog sustained deep wound but was ok. Very cautious re: tiapans & red belly black snakes have had to unwrap a few cats that have been all slimed up ready to be swallowed. Didn't hurt the pythons but because we didn't kill them ended up cats 0 snakes 1.

  I must admit I'm a bit of a hypocrite. I eat meat but I confine my hunting to the meat aisle at the supermarket. Mr. Possum catches the occasional fish to eat (delicious). But like you if it was up to me we'd starve.

  At least the hares are killed and eaten for a purpose (not mindless hunting). Foxes are considered a feral pest here and I don't think they have any left in Tasmania Would be sweet to watch the kits grow. We have to be very careful as the abundance of wildlife here means we have alot of roadkill. Wombats, wallabies, echidnas and possums. Its pretty dangerous to hit some to these full grown but nothing like the prospect of running into a mousse!

  That would have been great to see and hear.You're keen at 4- to take take dogs out! We have seen a whale recently (with binoculars) and it seems we have a wombat hide in the garden spied him/her in the garden. Nothing can replicate the wonder of nature.

  my health took a beating over the years with stress from various sources, not a little from the wt; and dangerous areas of work involving fumes and so on.

  • The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. —Pat Robertson, Southern Baptist leader (1930–)
  • they are all the same! Maintaining patriarchal power and control via bullshit!
