  A Sister and a Brother alone

  by Lilycurly in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been looking in the watchtower library all morning and can't find anything.. i know that jws have this rule (is it unwritten??

  ) where a brother and a sister should not be left alone in a car, a house, or any private place.

  but my jw father says it's not so, and he spent a part of yesterday installing a computer program at a jw couple's house while the man was at work and the wife was at home.

  Women as second class citizens

  by iMARX in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't know about anyone else, but even when i was 14 or 15 i had an issue with the fact that women are weaker vessels than men and we are to be submissive to our "head" of the house etc.... people just assumed i was a moody teenager trying to be cool by disagreeing with those scriptures but i was a feminist in the making.. i even asked an elder's wife about it and i said to her: "you're a headstrong woman, how do you feel about this?

  do you think you should succumb to paul's every word and do as he says all the time??".

  she replied: "i hate that scripture too sarah.

  Warning Signs of a Destructive Cult

  by The Almighty Homer in

  2. beliefs

  warning signs!anyone could attack a group they disagree with by unfairly labeling it a destructive cult.

  how would you know whether it really were such a cult or not?

  isn't there an objective method to evaluate groups for cultic tendencies?

  Recent assembly

  by Iwonder17 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1) stop using internet,facebook,myspace,email,texting and spend more time studying and in service.. my mate quit their facebook page when we came home lol.

  2) maybe i am just more tuned into it now, but they mentioned "apostate" a lot more this time around, espicially when talking about the internet.. it keeps me thinking, if there is nothing to hide, then why is there such a big push not to look?

  it's like an ugly girlfriend not wanting her boyfriend to look at the girls on the beach .

  No natural affection? Jehovahs Witnesses fulfill this scripture

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone who can turn their back on their flesh & blood sons and daughters, mothers and fathers fulfill this prophecy perfectly.. people who do this are utterly unloving & cruel.

  it has lead thousands of people to feel issolated, alone & in many cases suicidal.

  how can such a thing originate with god?.

  The video apostates are connecting with the Witnesses

  by koolaid-man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the "video apostates" are connecting with the jehovah's witnesses.

  not only are the witnesses watching these critical videos exposing the wathctower religion, but they are also commenting on them.

  many jehovah's witnesses are leaving the organization because of this powerful internet exposure.

  Elder won't marry mum because my brother's gay

  by iMARX in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that the elders and all jws have stupid "conscience" decisions to make from time to time, but this topped it for me.. my brother's gay and that's why he left the religion a few years ago.

  now my mum wants to get re-married to another brother but the elder that she asked to marry them both declined.

  he says that it would bother his conscience too much "because of luke living with you, because he's...ya know...gay!".
