I think there should be "Menstruation Servants" instead of "Ministerial Servants"...to make up for the years us women were viewed as the "weaker vessel"...not good enough for higher levels of authority in the congregation.

Out of Body Experiences
by amama2six ini know there's been some talk of paranormal...but i wanted to be more specific with my post.
i am going to admit to something i have only recently come to realize about my time being raised as a jw.
blame it on selective memory (or lack of much memory at all).

Just got a phone call...
by amama2six inmy oldest daughter (who is currently up in ct) just called to tell me my stepmother (wicked witch of the west) was in an accident yesterday evening.
she was riding a moped and crashed it into a parked car (don't ask me what an overweight 53 year old woman with bad knees is doing on a moped but whatever...supposed to save on the cost of gas or something).
anyway...she shattered her right leg and wrist in the accident (her good walking side) and apparently will never be the same.

I wouldn't expect any other response from you, Yikes...then again you know the WHOLE story about my stepmother, don't you? Unfortunately I'm not as vindictive as I'd sometimes like to be...and prefer to take the high road.

Those are AWESOME suggestions, Jamie! Your post has made me REALLY want to get up there...my husband even has Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off this weekend and we get paid at midnight Thursday night/Friday morning. I SHOULD be paying overdue bills with it, but maybe I can find a way to do both.
Only thing is, I think my daughter is going to Florida on Friday with her father so I won't see her if I go up there this weekend and by the time she's back my stepmother will already be home. I'll have to see if anything has changed in light of the accident taking place.
Even so, I'll probably be able to see her briefly (they were going to stop somewhere here in VA so I could at least have dinner with her on their way to FL) by meeting them somewhere else closer to CT or getting there before they leave.
Oh, and I would NEVER say anything about her weight to her, she knows it affects her health and ability to ambulate without me adding my two cents. The only time I discuss it with her is when she mentions it first...and I stay positive and tell her all I want if for her to stay healthy and feel her best.

The most inappropriate remarks from Jehovahs Witnesses
by jambon1 ini have a few which still either anger me, make me sad or just make me grateful that i am no longer one of them.
1 - "well, everyone is going to die anyway, so if it at armageddon then ce la vie" 2 - "the disater today at the world trade centre is sad, but exciting" 3 - (an elder) "when armageddon happens, i want to be at a window, watching it all".
sick, sick, sick!

Your ex is sick...BB. That comment in itself would make me fear for my life and my child's if I were you!
Wouldn't that be considered a "sin" though? Or would it be alright if you were "repentant"...or better yet alright because you did it to "save" people from dying at Armageddon?
SICK SICK SICK!!!

LOL Aude, yeah, the stuffed Devil would go over REALLY well.
Since I'm too far away I can't make them meals or anything (but I would if I were close). Maybe some gift certificates to a couple of restaurants in their area so my Dad can go get take-out instead of having too cook would be a good idea.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll keep you all updated on what I do / what happens with her.

Please Watch this Video, and Tell Me if I'm Over-Reacting
by jamiebowers inthis just really shook me up.

I keep watching the video and all I can think is "child molester". Now obviously I don't know anything about the man and most likely he's NOT one...but he SOUNDS like one. I think it's due to the fact that child molesters have that tone with small children (I should know, I lived with one for 3 1/2 years)...it's their way of brainwashing the young mind to trust them while incorporating their filthy actions slowly until they can get away with it and not have the child rat them out or even realize what they're doing is wrong. He may not be a brainwashing child molester, but he's a brainwashing JW parent and I guess it ends up sounding the same.

Question on Headship
by insearchoftruth ini am not fully in tune with how the wts defines headship and applies it to the members.
.
how does it apply to an unbelieving mate when the ubm is the husband and the female is the jw?.

Something that I've always found interesting about the "headship" thing and how far JWs take it.
In their Bible we read THIS:Genesis 3:16 - To the woman he said: “I shall greatly increase the pain of your pregnancy; in birth pangs you will bring forth children, and your craving will be for your husband, and he will dominate you.”
So this "man dominating women" is a bad thing...a result of the original sin...and yet it's an encouraged practice? Eve ate some fruit thousands of years ago so now I have to shut up and let my husband make all the important decisions while I put a smile on my face and be happy about it?
Yeah, no thanks.

Duly noted on the picture...I took it down.
John Doe...I wasn't making fun of the idea of riding a moped...my Dad rides one too and I say "all the more power to him"! But in her physical condition I feel this accident was just WAITING to happen. My daughter told me a few weeks ago they were using mopeds and I immediately thought my stepmother would end up getting hurt. Lo and behold, that's exactly what happened.
I'm tempted to use it as an excuse with my husband to spend the extra money and go up there so I can see my daughter. Of course I'll visit my stepmother, too, if I do. I actually kind of feel more bad for my father...who will be taking care of her, working two large paper routes (hers and his...not the ride-your-bike size route...the driving kind), plus working his "day job" at Frito-Lay. He's not getting any younger and has already been stretching himself way too thin...this is likely to put him in his grave.
The way my daughter was talking about everything it seemed like her AND my Dad want me up there...with as bad as my stepmother has convinced my father I am this seems like an opportunity to prove her wrong (if not in her eyes, maybe in his). I'll have to think about it some more...money is uber tight right now.
