  Finding Men in the Territory

  by WTWizard in

  just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, along comes the august 2009 kingdumb misery.

  therein, "meet the challenge of witnessing to men" comes along.

  they are whining that there are too many women and not enough men (i wonder if they are hearing about "sisters" not finding mates within the cancer, or just because they need men to run the show because they do not want women running it).. they continue with a couple of stock examples of reaching men.

  Bitchy women at work..."hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!" Why girls?

  by Witness 007 in

  2. scandals

  so at work we had an middle eastern family get alittle upset due to a long wait, i think their culture tends to raise their voice a bit, their child was sick and they were worried, waiting for medicine.

  while calming them down, one of the staff ladies is jumping in from behind under-cutting my calming speech with her interference....i asked her to back off.. well the women i work with did not like me "reasoning" with them witness style, oh no!

  they wanted me to throw the mum, dad, child, mother in-law, out on their ass.

  Most Detested WT Publication

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what is the wt publication you hated the most (i mean besides all of them?).

  mine was that faggy pink "listening to the great teacher" book.

  my mother tried to teach both me and the neighbor's worldly kid lessons from that book, and you know how embarrasing it is for a boy to be put straight by a pink book?.

  My issues with women ...

  by The Berean in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have always viewed women as more clever, manipulative, and intelligent than me.

  no, i never walked around voicing my bias ... yet, over time, i must confess i have been afraid of the opposite sex.

  it has only been in recent times that i have begun to fairly evaluate each individual by their conduct and not their gender.. why do i bring this matter up on this particular site?

  Help me with the logic of this

  by Magwitch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was married for 20 years to a brown nosing, power hungry elder.

  his headship was so overbearing i was basically a prisoner.

  he would not let me associate with my dear parents (father an elder, mother a pioneer) because they were too liberal as witnesses (they did things like save seats at the assemblies when we were told not to).

  Recent article on bride price

  by meangirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am new to the site so forgive me if i'm doing this wrong but somebody posted an article by the society recently on the christian view of brice price or something like that (sorry don't know how to find it) and it really sickened me.

  something that i have been dying to say and registered just to do so is that they are so full of it!!!

  does anyone remember the article back in the 40's about how it was not right to tip your hat at a women because that would be elevating her above the man and that the woman was never to be elevated above the man......yet during our modern times they write an article saying that this custom is not wrong or demeaning but rather how to do it in a "christian" way.......so tipping your hat to a woman is wrong but apparantly selling your daughter is aokay?????

  "Negotiating a Reasonable Bride Price" - anyone seen this article??

  by ziddina in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was looking for articles on mennonites on the official wtbts website when this article caught my eye:.

  negotiating a reasonable bride-price.

  today, as in bible times, some cultures require that a bride-price be paid before a man can marry a woman.

  WHAT'S THE WORST SCANDAL YOU KNOW OF?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some here have been privy to certain scandals such as pedophilia in your congregation.

  we have never had such a scandal in our area that became well-known.

  one of the worst scandals i've heard was that of how 2 elders terrorized an entire congregation.anybody that disagreed with them, was considered disloyal.
