  Genesis 3:16 - As to ALL Women... or One Woman? A Favor, Please...

  by AGuest in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  may you all have peace!.

  so, as some of you might know (or discern)... or not... i am not your usual submissive/in subjection kind of girl.

  given what some apparently expect of women... as wives, daughters, female friends... and in general... i was curious about the greater fulfillment of genesis 3:16, because many are of the belief that it applies to all women as to all men... (including those that aren't their husbands)... and not the just one being addressed at the time (eve as to adham).. personally, other than paul's position on women teaching in public (which was borne of what was occurring in the region at the time, due to by-then jewish culture and roman occupation)... and peter's admonishment for wives to submit themselves to their own husbands... that i know of nothing that validates a woman being in subjection to anyone other than her own husband, and even then such "subjection" is not puerile or unrestrained (so as to just be a given), but borne of love and respect for her husband (in which case it should not be difficult)... who is obligated to honor her, as well.

  How Science has advanced since the Victorian Era...

  by ziddina in

  1. social
  2. current

  buttonhooks, steam-run horseless carriages, corsets, steamships, gaslight streetlights, wax candles..... these things were considered the 'latest' in "modern conveniences" during the victorian era.. the victorian era also ushered in some exciting new scientific discoveries and inventions - uranium, x-rays, electric telegraphs, bicycles, and a good part of the industrial revolution.. of course, nowadays we wouldn't dream of using buttonhooks to 'button up' our shoes, nor would we even consider having a steam-powered "horseless carriage" in our garage.. we wouldn't allow a dentist to work on us using 19th-century tools or techniques, nor would we trust a psychologist who insisted on using "phrenology" to determine why we have mood swings or depressions....

  Funeral Service for JW's Killed in Bus in Miami --- The Kingom Hall Has PEWS ????

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on the local news in miami on saturday, they reported that they were having funeral services for the two jw's killed in the bus accident at miami airport.

  the reporter was standing outside the kh in the westchester area and you could clearly see the sign and the people entering.. they said approximately 750 people were in attendance which tells me that it must be a tri-plex kh like many others down here since there is no way you can put 750 people into a typical kh.

  they likely had an audio or possibly an audio and video link into the other two kh's.. they showed the inside of the kh as people were entering.

  I miss Mad Sweeney

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted to pay tribute to mad sweeney - a valued member of our community who has been away from this forum for some time now.. sweeney is a great guy and i loved his cult free radio shows, which i first started listening to not long after awakening.

  my personal favourite was the one where he interviewed paul grundy (jwfacts).. here is the link to that particular show for those who are interested: http://ex-jw.com/web-directory/cult-free-radio-archives-1-6 (scroll down to show #010).

  with his down-to-earth and likeable attitude, sweeney proved that apostates aren't all "mentally diseased" as the society insists.

  Did you ever have to walk out of/shut off a movie when watching with JWs?

  i can only recall one occasion.

  it was when my brother and future wife were dating.

  they had dinner at my parents' house, along with her uber-zealous/borderline psychotic parents.

  Believers, do you believe in evolution?

  by everchangingworld in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after leaving, i still couldn't wrap my head around evolution (after the years of seing "intelligent design" in everything around me).. there's a series of videos that give a good intro to evolution and critical thinking.

  they've probably been posted here before, but, for any new members, these are worth watching.. evolution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdddbyilel0.

  critical thinking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6olpl5p0fmg.
