Misogyny was one of the reasons I knew, as a teenage girl, that I could never be a JW.

when you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis you must take care to show the proper respect for it!

The two elders threaten my sister again
by opusdei1972 inas i reported here in this forum, some time ago, my sister was constantly harried by two elders so as to be submitted to a judiciary committee for apostasy.
these two elders were constantly hounding her in the street when she walks to go to her job.
so she had to send them a notary letter in which she wrote that she would attend the judiciary committee only with her attorney.

opusdei said: This young sister has said to the elders that she will remain in the organization due to her family, but she does not want to preach in the street.
This isn't going to fly at all. If she doesn't witness, she's not a JW.

I agree with Hecce. She should speak with her lawyer and the police. If she wants to write a letter, have her lawyer do it. That way it's on file and if they continue, a case for harassment and possibly stalking can be pursued. -

No more printing of WT and Awake in my country.. Shit just got real
by cognitivedizzy inguys .
a letter was just read in out kh stating that all printing of wt and awake is ceased for the coming year and we will just place tracts on fs, countries which were cared by our branch will be cared by other countries...along with this they read the new fs form and stuff about reporting links of videos wtf..lol.

Here's a novel thought. Since Botchtower says they're a charity, why don't they actually setup and run something charitable?
It may solve all these issues for them.

Twilight and other banned media
by purrpurr inthanks to online media of movies and books i've recently been watching the twilight series.
issues of quality aside i enjoyed it enough.
i mostly wanted to see what the fuss was about and have the fun of seeing a movie that was banned from the platform when it came out.

Hey Wolfie, back when Harry Potter came out my Dad was getting a little concerned about his adult children going to these movies. I was around 38 years old when the first one came out.
I looked at him and said "Dad, it's a movie. It isn't real."
He seemed to relax a bit after that.

Health, fitness and recovery advice
by SecretSlaveClass ini hope this is okay with you simon, but since i've noticed the number of forum members looking to discuss or seek advice on various health issues i thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to this topic alone.
any discussions or advice on these matters could be put here where any and all would be welcome to jump in with any help they could offer.
i am working on the first questions at the moment taken from the cognac/morpheus weight loss thread.

I can't take it anymore!
by BlackWolf inmy dad was recently made an elder about maybe 6 months ago, and now he is never around he's always at work or doing some kind of jw crap.
now he conducts the watchtower study and is even doing the special talk tommorow.
he's become an even more strict controlling jerk than he was before, and i'm never allowed to go out and do anything non jw related because he doesn't have the time.

Black Wolf said: I think the hardest thing is knowing that when i leave they are going to shun me and I'm going to have to deal with that if I want to be free. That hurts the most.
If you work it right, you can still have a relationship with your parents once you are an adult. They may not shun you. But never get baptized.
When your folks start really aging, they are going to need your help. Stay supportive but firm.

Hey SSC... thank you. Yes, pls, I'd love a list of easy exercises. While I don't watch much (really, any) TV, I'd still like them as I might be able to do these while I'm working.
My schedule is so all over the map it's not funny. My job is pretty stressful and time consuming. I find if I get my exercise routine stopped I don't get back to it. Sometimes I have stressful situations for months at a time at work. Other times I am not very busy at all. I don't have a regular schedule where 30 minutes of free time is available to me consistently to do some fun kind of exercises - you know the enjoyable things like you mentioned and of course, horseback riding which is really more like a 4 hour minimum thing.
I have not picked up my mail for over a week now. It's sitting at the end of the street in the SuperBox. I will try to run down after work today to grab it as long as something doesn't blow up at work. Last week, my recycle and compost bins did not make it out to the curb. And man, that compost is stinky now!
Most of my 'exercise' is doing necessary day to day chores. This weekend I was at my Dad's and hauled a bunch of boxes from his basement to his bedroom upstairs. I definitely sweated doing that. I shoveled snow this morning for 30 minutes. Looks like we'll be doing that for most of this week here as well.
I have 2, 5, and 10 lbs hand weights. Can they be useful in those exercises you mentioned?

Darkknight, excellent video segment.
As to what Tony says, I don't need anybody explaining anything to me about why they don't want to get baptized. I say DON'T GET BAPTIZED... EVER!

Aroq said: My kids do have the option of not going, but they get the guilt card played on them.
In ancient times, people were tortured when they refused to convert to the Christian belief system. 'The guilt card' is one of Christianity's modern day torture methodologies.
Aroq said: There will be no baptism, none of that until they are adults.
Sure, sure. Until the Borg starts pushing them at 13... then 14, then 15, then 16 to sign up. It's going to get worse as the membership dwindles.
