Man Vs. Woman---The Organization's View
by minimus in
1. jw

women in the "truth" are considered lower than men or even male children!

for years, females couldn't give talks in the ministry school.

now, interperters who are female must wear a head covering as if they were teaching, mot merely repeating for fear they might offend the angels!.

I am having some reservations about Barbara Anderson
by JWoods in
1. jw

recently, there was a very nice thread in which one of our posters apologized for having the temerity to challenge barbara anderson.. i thought it was very nice to see that they made up and put the personal stuff aside.. however, i felt the need to call it like i really feel it - i was very put off by the barbara anderson reply in which she plugged her new promotional meeting.

it brought back memories of that horrid little affair from a couple of years back when she kept posting up "the greatest new thing about blood which will bring down the watchtower society is just around the corner -- and i could tell you but then i would have to kill you, etc."..

just like another jehovah's witnesses prophecy about the coming of the lord in our time.. i am beginning to wonder if perhaps the siren song of self-promotion is getting a little too strong for real life.. ok. i said it.. james - and saying it was not the easiest thing that i have ever done.

if you read comments made regarding mj's death, there are tons of people talking about his religion.

the fact that he was a jw that disassociated himself, is giving bloggers all sorts of ammunition regarding the rotten witness religion.

jws are trying to defend themselves and their religion and outsiders are clearly seeing how effed up jws really are.. good..

Jesus's Divinity
by PSacramento in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
just to confrim, do jw's believe that jesus is divine?.

not that jesus is god, which they obviously don't believe, but that jesus is divine, with the divien qualities of his father?.

also, do jw's beleive or agree that, in the new covenant, jesus has the primary role that was god's in the old covenant?.

.. *** w98 3/15 p. 22 par.

15 living up to christian dedication in freedom ***.

15if a witness makes decisions on the basis of bible counsel offered by the governing body, he does so of his own volition because his own study of the bible has convinced him that this is the proper course.
