  i can remember coming into the organization.

  at the time, they wanted me to get rid of any music that didn't fit.

  of course, that meant the heavy metal that was common at that time.

  Disgraceful for a woman to speak?

  by freedomfighter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you are going to follow the bible like the jw's claim, then at least follow all of it !.

  1 cor 14:34,35 " let the women keep silent in the congregations, for it is not permitted for them to speak, but let them be in subjection, even as the law says.

  if, then, they want to learn something, let them question their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in a congregation.".

  jw's view of dress code for women

  by megaflower in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the dress code that the society imposes on the women has been a thorn in my side ( manner of speaking).

  theses old men dictate how a women should dress and i do mean "a dress".

  i can remember when i lived in connecticut and the temp would be in single digits and when it came time for field service you must put on that dress.

  YOUR DAILY JOURNAL

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dear friends,.

  much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

  however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

  Preaching_Work

  by jelly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when do you think the preaching work will expand in china?

  how about the middle east (iran, iraq, uae, etc)?

  do you think the angels play a great role in getting honest harted people out of these countries( through emmigration) into lands where the preaching work is being conducted to a greater degree.
