  How is the organization organized?

  by insearchoftruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  am trying to figure out the structure of the organization, what do terms like co, do, elder, pioneer, aux pioneer etc mean?

  which of these positions are open to men....to women....are some of the positions earned by levels of service or are they appointed.

  what are the perks associated with the positions?.

  Loneliness

  2. friends

  i wasn't sure i was ready for it, but i did it anyway...i put out a personal ad.

  i've gotten a few responses, but nothing seems promising yet.

  i get the feeling that internet dating is more about quantity than quality, but i think that's what i need right now.

  RECENT REVISIONS TO THE KH DRESS CODE?

  by navytownroger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was told by my former book-study conductor recently that a new 'dress code' had been handed down by the wts, because people had been 'getting too casual' with their styles of clothing.

  one item he mentioed was a new rule for women prohibiting denim skirts.

  and, when a woman wore a denim jacket, she was also told this was not appropriate for the kh.

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses a Cult?

  by digderidoo in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have found these 14 characteristics of a typical cult and below are some questions regarding the behaviour of a cult.

  my personal opinion is that the watchtower society fits into most of these characteristics, with the exception of 1& 14. possibly part of number 10 fits, but not all.

  i feel that all of the questions posed should be asked of jw's and all of the further symptoms apply too.

  How much of a role in Brainwashing did the songs actually play?

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  those haunting words...those out of tune dubs...wailing...moanin...then i wake up :p lol i am kidding, but i remember 'snippets' of a lot of songs, all of which focused on me being submissive (for example song number 8, my favourite as a child dub).

  does singing help brainwash sheep?

  i say this because i have been helped so much by the many posts that represent the way i feel about the wtbts.

  it is good to know that there are so many people that feel this way.

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  sometimes i think, i wish i could sing this old song to the witnesses: "if they could see me now, ...".

  i thought you'd get a kick out of this, don't laugh - i've entered this drag competition and i wondered if you could vote for me...you will see my history of drag and imagine this - shots of me as myself...hahaha!

  feel free to leave a comment there too if you like the photos!
