  Disempowerment of women – WTBS use of “that woman Jezebel” analogy

  by cyborg in

  just wondering if anyone has had similar experience.

  i could swallow the fact that only men were given main parts at the meeting (i wouldnt want them anyway) but that im humiliated every time i tried to give opinion or make a suggestion, is just beyond me.

  in fact if i was even mildly persistent to make them see my point of view id be presented with that woman jezebel analogy.

  Glad Stanly and Rhys had so much fun!

  Just my 2 cents, but I think Zoe looks like her great-grandma on her mother's side.

  I don't think there is an age limit. For a 13 year old you are very articulate and in touch with your feelings. I recommend that you ask your teachers to recommend a book on critical thinking. It may help you as you learn in school and life.

  Revealing a reveling rebel's rebel

  by IP_SEC in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ive always been the type of person who doesnt like to do things they way most people do things.

  when i think back on what kept me a witness for so long, one is the counter-culture mystique.

  being a jdub, to me was like being a rebellious redheaded stepchild in a way.

  what happened to the troll thread?

  it appears all evidence of its existence has been erased.

  I think Scully summed it up very well.

  It's a bit dicey to label people as "trolls"... it's really no better than the WTS or individual JWs deciding that we are "apostates".

  Obviously we are going to disagree on some fundamental issues with people who are JWs. But if they are willing to enter a dialogue with us - as evidenced by their posting here - then let's try to find some common ground and work from there.

  I bet most honest-hearted JWs would be interested in protecting their children from child molesters posing as JWs in good standing.

  I bet most honest-hearted JWs don't want to have elders who engage in spousal abuse to lead their congregation and present themselves as an example of what a "true Christian" is.

  I bet most honest-hearted JWs are interested in the changes in the WTS's blood policy, and don't want their child or spouse to die needlessly.

  Let's find something in common to discuss with them rather than beat them over the head with prejudicial labels

  gringojj, I think you need to find a different topic.
