So sorry for all you had to endure. There is no excuse for it at all. It is so sad to read these stories of abuse. My heart goes out to each and every one of you.

Rant Against the Borg HERE! NOW!
by Mad Sweeney indo you have a particular set of issues that really honk you off about the borg?.
would you like to just vent sometimes without having to engage in a drawn out discussion of the topic?.
are you reluctant to post your rant on someone else's thread for fear of hijacking it?.

Their hatred towards women and their mysgonistic words they print. Their double standards. Their hypocrisy. I really hate Loesch. ALOT. I heard him speak at an assembly and this was before I had serious doubts and just a few minutes into listening to him I turned to my husband and said I want to leave. He sounded like a Nazi. I shudder to think of the control and power he has now. I hate how they say there are "conscious" matters yet in the same sentence say something like "Surely no true Christian would want to be part of ........." WTH! I think the disfellowshipping arrangement is so cruel.

Will women be suppressed in heaven too?
by unshackled insince a regular theme in the bible is to suppress women and place them below men, will they be treated the same way in heaven?
why or why not?.

Good question. I think the society views women in a subjugated position even in heaven. I simply think they cannot fathom the thought of any other type of woman...

Is it me or do the JW's act like the Circuit Overseer is Jesus himself?
by stillstuckcruz ini'm sure many have noticed that.
now obviously many more will go out in fs than usual and such because the co brings more "insight" on fs than the usual brothers.
understandable i guess.

Yep and it was disgusting. I remember one day we had met for service when the CO was down and it was raining really, really bad. Well everyone at the hall just pretended like yes we always go out when it is raining like a monsoon outside. I looked at my husband and said this is ridiculous. It is raining and I am going home.

How I Know The Assembly Parts Are Made Up
by lovelylil inwe had a co looking for a certain experience for an assembly part coming up and the elders in my hall at the time sent him to see me, since i usually had good experiences out in field service.. anyway, after speaking with the co, i was sorry to inform him that i did not have an experience that suited the type he needed.
he told me that was o.k.
because he could use me anyway for another part.

Don't you DARE to get up!!
by stillin9 ininteresting points from this week's wt study (dec 15 2010 study edition):.
par 12: "do i encourage my children not to view the song between the theocratic ministry school and the service meeting or the one between the public talk and the watchtower study as a sort of intermission,an opportunity for them to leave their seats unnecessarily, perhaps just to stretch their legs?".
why do they have to make such a big deal out of everything?

Assholes.....I so regret ever even taking my daughter into a KH. Big deal they get up to move around and go to the bathroom. What a horrible sin. The people writing these articles have no idea about reality......

What is it with all the men waking up but the wives stay in? Why is it the opposite for me?
by Cadellin inthis is something i've thought about for a while now.
it seems like the same story on this board over and over--the husband, who also might be an elder, ms, etc.--starts having doubts and researching, aka miseryloveselders and franklin massey and others.
he starts to smell the coffee and realizes that this organization isn't what it claims to be.

I agree Finger it has to touch them personally. It is not a matter of being male or female.

The point is programs like this help to discourage negative stereotyping that could result in girls loosing out on great opportunities. Maybe girls feel like they shouldn't be good at math and that only boys are. That is proven that is a negative strereotype that even teachers have been known to subconsciously promote.

Oh sad scoobydoo......you might want get a sit down and have a scooby snack for this one.....OK the point is men are welcomed and even THRIVE in traditional female jobs. You mentioned hairdressers, it is not weird or uncommon for men to be stylists today. It is now weird or uncommon for men to teachers today. It is not weird or uncommon for men to be interior designors. They are not met with hostility when they enter these fields. However, like it has been pointed out women are still met with hostility when they try and enter typical "male" dominated fields and that is why there are programs like "Introduce A Girl to Engineering Day."......
