I'm surprised he didn't get sued by the Society for any number of copyright violations. LOL !

Now you have gone from talking about how opressed......
Sorry MEANGIRL....that should have read "now we have gone from talking about...." I didn't mean to imply it was you who brought that up.
Evidently enough JW men went along with it to the point that the mysoginstic governing body had a whole Awake dedicated to it basically persauding JW dads in
other countries to stop mutilating their daughters...duh
I think you meant to say Misogynistic Governing Body rather than "mysoginstic governing body" and presuading JW Dads rather than "persauding JW dads" ...but I do remember that article come to think of it. From what you say about the Governing Body and JW Men, I'm surprised they would try and stop this practice. One day they might stop doing this to little boys as well.
Anyway, from everything I've learned on this thread about unmanly, low wage earning and unintelligent JW men and opressed spineless self loathing JW women it's no wonder we never quite fit in. I'm surprized we didn't get the hell otta' there sooner.
P.S. My spineless Wife just remarked "sounds like she must be having girl friend problems" (Don't worry I'll smack her around for that one.)

We are smarter than brothers, not the same, Smarterr
We know our WT better. JW men are low wage earners. They aren't men's men. JW women will kill eachother over the JW male crumbs.
Whether you meant to or not, you made a very sexist remark in your original post. You made a unfair blaket statment about JW men. You werent talking about "equality" your were talking about "beter than" and "smarter than" You even dispairaged their masculinity. If a Man said things like this about women he would be considered a sexist bully. If someone made a comment like this about a person of another race, especially a minority he would be a considered a racist. You are able to make these broad sweeping statements about JW men and seem utterly surprised that someone dared to take exception to it. Talk about a double standard. You don't even have a good opinion of JW women who you say would kill eachother over the crumbs JW men drop thier way. Yet you think you are somehow defending women .
You now have gone from talking about how opperssed it was not being allowed to wear pants to the meeting and comparing it to barbaric female circumcision....with broken glass no less ! What brought that up.? What JW male would go along with a thing like that? Talk about going off on tangents.
NEXT TOPIC PLEASE !

I truly feel sorry for you as you are an EXTREMELY self centered person.
Have we even met eachother?? Where is all this venom coming from ? Is that why you call yourself MEANGIRL?
I personally never saw anyone purposly treat a woman truly badly at the KH but I did think the whole headship thing was taken too far. I believe that what was once meant to help organize a group (someone taking the lead) ended up causing a whole cross section of people to feel inferior and excluded. Plenty of Women would have been perfectly happy and capable of taking the lead. Myself and many other Men never wanted any of the prestige you say we had in the Hall. I wasn't asking for any pity for having a penis as you say, I was merly pointing out that men as well as women were guilted into doing things they wouldn't normally have done otherwise, the same way women were guilted into always wearing a dress or skirt, men were made to feel less than if they didn't want to be a leader or didn't want to wear a suit. Their very salvation seemed to hinge upon whether or not they did their part in not only the Ministry but also the leadership of the congregation....a thankless job. The whole leadership concept in the KH is skewed. You are suposed to be a Servant and your work is supposed to be a privelege yet you have way too much power and say in other people's lives and their relationship with their maker. Your decisions as a leader can destroy the lineage of an entire family forever. As I said before there have been many casualties from this cult, what ever form it took in each of our lives, one is as bad as the other. If the roles were reversed and Women were given the leadership role, the same things if not worse, would have happened.
It's human nature to blame ones problems on whomever appers to be on top or in the lead at the moment. America is bad and is to blame for the rest of the worlds problems, if America went away and China was in the lead, all the worlds problems would disappear. Men are bad (especially white men) if they all fell of the face of the earth, and women took over, the world would become a paradise and no woman would ever suffer opression ever again. After all, Women would never take advantage of one another.

Meangirl: Substitute the words BROTHERS and MEN in the comment above, and replace them with the word WHITES for example.
We are smarter than whites, not the same, smarter .
We know our WT better. JW white men are low-earners, they aren't men's men.
JW women will kill eachother over the JW white male crumbs
If someone from one racial group made a comment like this about another race, or if a Man dared to say such a thing on behalf of all men towards Women, there would be a huge uprising on here. Yet Men....especially white men, are fair game when a Woman decides to blame them for the problems they have. You expect them to sit back and listen to this kind of thing without coming to their own defense, or poinitng out any of their own similar dificulties.
Maybe the title of the thread shouldn't be MEN BAD... WOMEN GOOD rather SISTERS HAVE IT BAD...BROTHERS HAVE IT MADE !

WT: "Don't watch news items featuring witnesses!"
by cedars inhi everyone, yet another analysis of a recent watchtower i'm afraid.
this one's a little closer to home, as it concerns apostates.
yes - i'm referring to the forthcoming article "will you heed jehovah's clear warnings?

It's interesting that they fully expect any information about JW's coming from an outside source, to be unflattering.

Will the door to door presentation ever change?
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini haven't been out in door to door service in years.
my name is rules and this is brother john.
we are in your area today talking to your neighbors and asking this important question.

What's really bad is when the householder says your presentation before you do.
I had that happen.
EXYZ: " Good morning, my companion and I are...." Householder: "Here to talk to you and your neighbors about worsening world conditions..Please turn to Revelation 21: 3,4 blah blah blah " ... Slam !
That happened about 30 years ago....can't imagine what it's like out there now if they are still talking about the worsening world conditions. According to what we were telling everyone, the world was supposed to be gone or else unlivable by now

I am still unclear what is it in JW culture that the men are so unmanly as to be threatened by trousers?
This edict against pants for women isn't because JW men are threatened by women in trousers (C'mon..you can't have possibly believed this to be so ?)
The Boys back east think the public will be stumbled by anything but traditional conservative garb. They think the public wouldn't take a woman in a pair of slacks or a man in an open necked shirt seriously or view them as members of a legitimate religion. It's all about image....they must make up for what they and their members lack in actual theological credentials by making them look the part of someone who knows what they are talking about.

JW's are unique because: 1. They keep themselves free of customs that originated in Christendom 2. Only JW's sing bible based songs when they gather for worship. 3. Only a JW Bride wears white, walks down the asile inside one of thier gathering places, says vows and exchanges rings in front of a Minister. 4. Only JW's have public baptisims done at large revival gatherings. 5. Only JW's say a prayer before they eat 6. JW's don't depend on monitary donations from the flock...God provides all . 7. Only JW's sell their own line of unbiased Bible literature. 8. JW's are the only ones who are certain they are true religion and anyone who isn't among them will receive some kind of divine punishment. 9. JW's are the only ones who have a world headquarters located in a major American City from where they get direction on how to worship God correctly. 10. Only JW's have Missionaires who go forth into the world showing the Citizens of 3rd world countries the error of their ways. Oh wait....I think I just described every other Church group out there.... NEVERMIND !
