Laika....I totally agree with your thoughts above. I felt EXACTLY the same way many times when I conducted a BS or weekday meeting for FS. I have no problem saying that women can do so many things better than us "brothers".
Strange that a perfect creator would not allow another more qualified human do do something simply for lacking a certain appendage.

Thanks for the clarification WT-free. I see that now reading over that page a little better.
Guess this just serves as another bump, in case some have not seen it yet.
so, so glad I never made that final small step to elder...I was sooo close. Looking back, I am so lucky I never made it.
I wonder what the old me would have thought seeing these videos 7 years ago...

Hopefully WT scum can't force him to take it down, because with his commentary it should fall under 'fair use'
Good Job getting this out there...and thank-you to your source.

Justitia...I was also accounts "servant" for about 5 years. Worst. Job. Ever. I feel for my wife who was a trooper waiting till everyone left so I could count the funds
I remember pounding my fists on the dining room table many a night...so I laughed when you said that. Sisters definately should have been allowed to do that, I can't tell you how many times I felt highly unqualified conducting a BS session while sisters who could "bible" me up and down the block were there...and would have done a better job.
I guess I got off track this was about "maths"
Sorry your husband dumped his "priviledge" on you.

What Motivates Jehovah's Witnesses To Stay In The Religion?
by minimus ini believe it is mostly guilt.
many witnesses pioneer or "reach out" in the religion because they feel guilty.. they may feel they aren't doing enough.
they may have secretly "sinned" against rules imposed by the organization.

Fear of displeasing Jah = death! Not having that fear anymore is an amazing feeling, even though I'm technically 'in' so to speak, my brain is free. I wake up every day not worrying about falling through a giant crack in the earth while chunks of concrete fall on top of me. (gotta love those illustrations)
