by blondie incomments you will not hear at the 07-11-10 wt study (may 15, 2010, pages 12-16)(women submit).
jehovah has established the orderly sequence that the apostle paul mentioned when he wrote that "the head of every man is the christ" and "the head of the christ is god.
what man is their head?.

Great job Blondie! I always enjoy your threads on comments you will not hear at the WT study. The way the org views women is disgusting and I don't understand how so many women sat through studies like this and just didn't get up and walk out! Sometimes I think to myself I can maybe go back and suffer through a meeting and then I see the stupid articles like this and just know I could not sit through that kind of trash and certainly not expose my daughter to that kind of mentality, which is just plain ignorant. The governing body insist on putting the sisters in this little box as another posted said to be like June Clever......sick. They don't acknowledge that many women actually work (ooooh the scandal) and why they don't want marriage viewed as a partnership is beyond me.....I have come to the conclusion that the society actually hates women and loves to oppress us as much as they can. Signs of very low intelligence levesl and frail egos. DEBATOR Blondie qouted references from the society showing how they view women and expect them to act....those were not her "opinions".......FACT DEBATOR ARTICLES ON RAPE FROM THE SOCIETY IN THE PAST SAID WOMEN WERE TO BLAME FOR RAPE AND ALSO THEY SHOULD SHOW "RESPECT" FOR THEIR RAPISTS....WTF!!!!!! THAT SHOWS THEY DO NOT VIEW WOMEN AS HUMANS AND CERTAINLY NOT AS JESUS DID! They give the argument that because of sin women are to be "dominated" and act like that is okay....however on the other hand they say that just because we as humans are "imperfect" and "sinful" that we should try to overcome sinful tendencies.....so if women being "oppressed" and "dominated" is a result of sin shouldn't they promote the fighting of that tendency as well? Shouldn't they advocate having the opposite mindset of that and treating women as equals as Adam and Eve were treated in the beginning being BOTH MADE IN HIS IMAGE????? Yet no they don't as they LOVE to harp on the fact that it was prophesied women would be dominated and give permission to continue in that unhealthy way........I find it odd that they can admit that racism is wrong (FINALLY) and say God is not partial yet they LOVE to oppress and mistreat women........No excuse for it. IT IS DISGUSTING!!!!! Of course your endowed with the almighty penis in that chauvanistic organization so what would you know???? Penis equals strength and brains and vagina equals frailty and the inability to make decisions......So I politely ask you to shut your mouth on this topic and do us all a big favor! THANKS! Oh and Debator I typed all of this with a headcovering showing the utmost respect for your sacred position!!!!

Sexism and the Organization
by brotherdan ini know this may be a touchy subject, but it's something that i think has been so obvious for the last few weeks at the meetings.
let me start by saying that i do understand the "headship" arrangement, and agree that it is biblical.. but it seems that the tendency is to take it way too far.
whenever speaking about training children, i've noticed that the boys are told to be trained by their fathers in various types of work, including trades.

I personally don't see any subtle sexism in the org at all. It is blatant and outright. I just can't figure out why the society is so afraid of women and specifically women and power.....I noticed it right off the first time I went to the KH when I was 13 and now as an adult woman it sickens me. One of the many reasons I got out....completely disgusting....

Are Men As "Manly" As They Used To Be?
by minimus inmaybe it's me but i see more males act less "manly".
i dunno..
-

Well tough question, what is "manly?" I hate the John Wayne types and if that is considered manly no thanks. I too like the fact that we can just be individuals in our society today. I hated how the society wanted their men to be "MEN" and their women to be little submissive "women"....the bottom line we are all individuals and I don't get why we have to be put in boxes?

Very well said notacaptive :This girl-punches-policeman hit everyone in an emotional place for a lot of reasons. I think you have been dismissive and not engaged on the discussion with the wisdom that you might have because you think physical and verbal put downs win the day. Use your experiences and your ability to speak in a better way. It would help. And you have been rude to other posters.

My heart bleeds for (This woman) the women.
by acolytes inwhen ever bethel is rang the sister answers and places your call with an experienced brother.. so today i rang the bethel and spoke to the receptionist.. i said my question was directed to her.
this was the tough question "can you imagine never having had a child and held that child in your arms.........the conversation progressed and the sister said "do you know how old iam.....".
to cut a long phone-call.

Very well said. The organization definitely takes dignity away from women for sure. One thing I noticed as a kid and the older I got the more disgusted I became. Nice to see such a compassionate post......makes me think there are some decent people out there.....sometimes when I read the posts on this board I often wonder.....
