quite possibly the most annoying and patronizing thing i've read in years.
comments of mine are in yellow.. .
she doesn't trust herself to make her own decisions and she's going to wait years even after she thinks she's ready.
Carla Are you dating? □ Yes □ No-----Yes, the elders wife or other women in the cong regularly text me about complete nonsense.
LoL this made me laugh! How true
So did this!!
Pale.emperor I'm gonna take a wild guess here imagine the picture was young people sitting in a spartan living room with glasses or orange juice while one of the boys in an orange polo tshirt and chinos plays guitar for the others who are singing kingdom songs right out of the book. LoL!
let's start by saying that slavery is of course a terrible thing, one of the worst crimes imaginable, and that "slavery" rarely implies good treatment, anything noble or defensible.
nowadays, even god doesn't escape judgement from our enlightened views with passages about slavery in the bible usually glossed over because they are shameful.. but not all slavery was equal.. because of the media, movie industry, racial tensions in the us regularly shown on the news and our taught history, i think most people's knowledge and idea of slavery is that of the north atlantic slave trade where white people took africans to work in cotton fields.
this idea is probably also re-enforced because the largest group of descendents of slaves we see today are african americans (usually in the us or places they subsequently migrated to).. but it's incomplete.. it's only when you look into it more that you discover that there was much more to the slave trade than that, otherwise it would have been just called "the slave trade" and not "the north atlantic slave trade".. some 12.5 million slaves were taken from africa to the us with just under 11 million surviving the trip so it obviously took a terrible toll immediately, even before any maltreatment once they landed in the americas where conditions and treatment were truly awful.
. It actually persisted in many countries and was only finally stopped in some as late as the 1970's (!)
I remember as a youngster being horrified that, not so long ago, there was slavery still legal in, I think, was it Mauratania? I think so.
Mind you, here in Brixton we have the headquarters building for the Anti-Slavery Society, because, sadly it is still happening.
my wife has been trying to convince me that the organization is hinting at the possibility of making some older sisters ministerial servants.
she is awake to a lot of the false doctrines, but is still clinging to the hope that the org may become more progressive in the future.
anyone else pick up on this?
Pale.empower So it was either a tea towel from the KH kitchen or a cushion. She opted for the tea towel.
Oh LoL , imagine having to balance a cushion on your head had their not been anything else!The things we women go through!!

I think that whole Ken Flodin speech is referencing the thing in the UK whereby they are now allowing a women to accompany the victim of any sexual assault into a JC to give evidence.
Its a poor effort to pacify the Charity Commission in the UK with regard to safeguarding children.
I think this is why they are talking about older women helping in the cong.

Richard O.the Church of England, Anglican church has female deacons, and priests. They are certainly mainstream.
Our local Baptist church has a female pastor, they are mainstream too.
Its fairly common in the UK and many parts of Europe.

Romans 16.1 mentions Phoebe as a "Diokonos" or deacon of the church entrusted with the delivery of scripture written by Paul. A deacon is the equivalent of ministerial servant.
Also there we're 2 women on The JW's governing body when they were first Bible students. Mind you that's GB with lower case letters, unlike today's GB who now use uppercase!

Pale.emporer Why the tea towel??She wasn't teaching. Sometimes I think witness women get a kick out of this submission shit. A bit like young, modern completely liberated girls in the west wearing the Burkha or scarves when no one in their family does. Is it a sexual kick. Who knows.
i can't even remember what got me interested in pans, probably wanting to try cooking more and watching some cooking videos on youtube, but i kind of started wanting to get a cast-iron skillet specifically so started reading up on them.
hey, if you're going to spend $50 on something you need to study them and create a comparison spreadsheet ... right?.
not only did cast-iron look great for cooking but there are some studies that show risks to aluminium / teflon cookware ... not that the wts was "right" about aluminium, but teflon can give off carcinogenic chemicals if overheated (so what if it chips off into your food?).

Simon you're a gem, I've been searching for the ideal castiron skillet.. I'm gonna try the field skillet. Of course the classic one mostbpeople use is le crusier, what do you thjnk of that one? When you say you clean with a brush after using sea salt what kind of brush? Just a regular washing up brush?
P.S. I'm kinda obsessed with cookware - currently looking for a good bain marie.
Magwitch hate electric, switched to gas!You can't get an even heat and i've learned in baking in particular getting an even heat is a big deal.
ok, so i don't know if this is "old news", and if this has been seen, and or mentioned already.
if it was, i do apologize, but i feel i have to mention what has been seen on tv, within the past 24 hours.. first off, i would like to say that i did not personally see this commercial.
however, it was seen by someone that i can verify 100% is telling the truth, as it was my own father who saw it.
This is incredible. Ive seen adds looking for accident victims and injuries at work, but never sexual abuse. The numbers of victims must be HUGE to SPECIFICALLY MENTION THE JW'S, No doubt about it someone has leaked info about the numbers they have on file in Brooklyn.
It's going to be interesting how the dubs are going to view this. Surely they cannot ignore the problem now. Surely they must see its not a few "bad apples" but a institutional problem endemic to a religion that views children as invisible, only useful as future fodder and women as servants to the higher ups. The Societies Pariah's that cannot touch a microphone or tell a man where the toilets are in an assembly.
Or will it be viewed as "persecution"by the world?
