One elder explained this by saying something to the effect that to have a "weaker" vessel you must first have a "weak" vessel; obviously the "weak" being the men.

Neither link works for me. Mediafire says deleted and Sendspace gives me "HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found" error when I hit the download button.

Then they would no longer be "Jehovah's Witnesses". They would disfellowship themselves...from themselves.

More "sex texting" on Facebook...Circuit Assembly
by dudeson inso my congregation just had their circuit assembly on 3/14.
recalling the thread about "facebook sex", i told a non-witness friend at work that after this assembly is over he would notice one of our mutual friends would either lower his time on fb or delete it altogether.
sure enough, come sunday night, his profile was gone.

I guess they were also drivng the point home about not getting married and that it is better to stay single. Apparently being single you have more time to be spiritual.
It makes me wonder that among all this nonsensical babble is there any talks on the amazingness of God and his son Jesus (if that's your kind of bag).
When I look back on my view of Circuit Assemblies this actually seems about par. I always looked ahead to wonder what would be banned this time.

So my congregation just had their Circuit Assembly on 3/14. Recalling the thread about "Facebook Sex", I told a non-witness friend at work that after this assembly is over he would notice one of our mutual friends would either lower his time on FB or delete it altogether. Sure enough, come Sunday night, his profile was gone. I asked him about it and he said, "The dang thing was making me possessed."
Fast forward to now. I just asked a DF'd friend of mine if they mentioned Facebook at the assembly. He said they did along with MySpace and Twitter. "Sex texing" was also mentioned from the stage in association with Facebook.
Without asking, he went on to tell me that they said "don't let your family eat up all your time because you won't have time for the meetings."
Anything quoted above was his words and not directly from any speaker.
I find it sad and frustrating that my once close friends are starting to get serious about this religion.

Dave Mustaine used to be a witness or at least grew up in a witness household.

Is Richard Dawkins an ostentatious acrimonious supercilious pusillanimous calumnious censorious vituperative querulous embittered obsessive and bombastic bully?
by slimboyfat inrichard dawkins closes down his free-thinking/free-thought site (www.richarddawkins.net) for 30 days to reconfigure it 'because too many morons were contributing drivel' (he doesn't put it quite like that!
) he is then surprised because those self-same contributors call him everything under the sun (i won't repeat the names flung at him on our ultra -refined boards).
he now wants the site more or less 'peer-reviewed' (by analogy with papers to learned/scientific journals having to be vetted by vips).

I see a parody with this....Something along the lines of "Jah is my butt plug". Or maybe "Christ is my waterproof vibrator".

Arguing over the existence of God with my mom was more beneficial than arguing over JW doctrine.
When I gave my reasons for being a non-believer, it seemed she just can't make the connection of the god I don't believe in with "Jehovah". It's like God and Jehovah are two distinctly different deities.
