  i truly want to find a woman who knows jehovah's name and worships him.

  Grow up. Get a career and a life. At 16 you have no need for a woman other than your mother.

  And if horny is the issue there are plenty of tramp teenagers out there.

  The women that abandon “The Good News” are a large army

  by Aimee.Padilla in

  2. experiences

  to be born a woman is a great disadvantage in many parts of the world and much more if she is part of a destructive sect like the jehovah’s witnesses where she is submitted to the “theocratic order” being the base that sustains the corporate pyramid, displaying submission at all times before male authority.

  those of us that have been part of this cult can verify that the woman has to carry out a series of practices that for the rest of society is somewhat incomprehensible.

  i’d like to draw your attention to the act of head covering, if for any reason a woman has to pray in public while a male is present, who is not available to lead the prayer, she must cover her head because she wouldn’t be respecting the arrangement of authority if she didn’t.

  I am mystified and disheartened that there are negative reactions to this true and beautiful piece. Women in the JW cult most assuredly are treated as inferiors. Sadly this religion is not the only one that does...patriarchal systems still exist and females in some are treated far worse than the JW experience.

  Fairness and true justice are not exactly the order of the day so long as people with their own agenda are allowed to dominate and discriminate .....

  you will be resurrected.

  but if you live one more day when armageddon starts you will die a horrible death with no chance of a resurrection.

  makes sense to me!.

  Was Sin Inevitable?

  by Parker in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was wondering about this question and wanted to ask: was sin inevitable?

  also, i had thought about past watchtower articles or publications related to this topic and did some research and found this from our readers ask if adam was perfect, how was it possible for him to sin?.

  well, then, did god create adam with a moral weakness, so that he lacked the ability to make sound decisions or to withstand temptation?

  I always had issues with the theory that dwelling on a "sin" would lead to one actually following through and doing the deed.... I have observed in my existence on planet earth that a greater number of what are construed as sinful acts are impulsive.....kind of out of the blue mistakes people make. Sociopaths may dwell on the evils they plan to commit....but that group is not representative of the average flawed human.

  At best it is indeed a conundrum....and trying to make sense out of a spirit creature disguised as a reptile playing mind games with a pure innocent newly created human and her subsequent curiosity....well....good luck with that. And then endeavoring to explain it from God's perspective??? Given the JW view of God it becomes the utmost presumption to try to explain his thought processes.

  Don't forget to take Sauerkraut for COVID-19 ?

  fermented foods may lower your risk of covid-19 death.

  countries that consume higher amounts of traditionally fermented foods have lower covid-19 mortality rates.

  according to german researchers, significant changes in the microbiome caused by modern life and low fermented food consumption may have increased the spread or severity of the disease.

  Are You Afraid of Contracting The Covid Virus?

  thankfully my best friend who got this terrible malady is doing well after being in the hospital for more than two months!

  i see some people who are still petrified over this virus.

  they are still virtual prisoners in their own homes.

  Realistically concerned...not scared crazy. Following guidelines respectfully. However the idea of being a vaccine guinea pig does give pause. I would prefer a tried and true protection....and that may take years.

  ELM - Elderly Lives Matter

  by BourneIdentity in

  1. social
  2. current

  i believe a light has to be shown on the elderly, forget blm.

  sure, blacks are being mistreated by law enforcement at times, but there are hundreds of millions of people on a daily basis having no regard for the elderly by not wearing masks in the middle of a pandemic.

  they believe the elderly have to be casualties for the economy and getting normalcy back.

  I am a septugenarian and healthy. I believe all lives matter and that people should all be kind, compassionate, fair-minded and respect their fellow man no matter what age, skin tone, or political/religious leaning. A pandemic that has taken thousands of lives is not a hoax nor a political conspiracy. It is a medical scientific reality and the more people follow the common sense parameters and endeavor to halt or at best hamper the viral spread, the better off we all are.

  I do not like wearing a mask at all, but I certainly do not consider it an infringement of my personal rights or liberties. I consider it a respectful response to the well being of my fellow man. Twisting issues to glorify or vilify a political stance is unnecessary and we have seen far too much of that thus far.

  The pandemic presents many challenges and alterations to our daily lifestyles...but adapting to new circumstances is far healthier mentally and physically than balking and potentially causing damage to ourselves and others.

  the great lockdown has been mind-numbingly boring.

  my husband has been an essential worker, but i have been home and not working.

  the only other housemate is a teenager who is on distance learning from college.

  I had a total Audubon sanctuary in my back (front and side too) yard...plus squirrels red and gray, the fattest chipmunk ever..rabbits etc. Sold place, moved...have seen one bird here this far....I hear them but not in yard...put seed out...nothing yet and how I miss them all! There is a heron that roosts in a marsh down the street....and one night coyotes were yowling...

  I love all the critters....
