Is the WTS effectively 'pimping out' sisters?

by Simon in

i can't remember the topic with the discussion about the talk where they suggested that sisters should only consider ministerial servants as potential marriage partners but think about the implications more.. are they trying to use the potential affections of sisters to enourage brothers to do more and work harder?.

isn't this a form of 'pimping out' the sisters by limiting their attention to the people contributing to them?.

it seems to cross a line to me but i guess it's not vastly different to "only marry another jw".. what do you think?.

This only confirms that it is all about appearences. This is not about doing things such as becoming an MS because you have a desire to serve God in this way, but rather because there is some sort of reward associated with it and the GB are responsible for developing this desire.

It doesn't make a marriage any better if a bloke aims at becoming an MS so that he will be more attractive to the sisters. This is not spiritual, it promotes greediness. Once a sister realizes that the man she married isn't as spiritual as she thought he was it will do more harm to the marriage.

No wonder there is so much depression in this organization, because there is no reality. The aim for real spirituality is being overshadowed by appearances and false goals. The r&f is being led up the garden path, being misled into believing that what they are doing is spiritual when in fact it has no relation.

Not even a pioneer brother or volunteer builder is good enough for a sister to marry, they've got to have a title.

this is my third year since i signed up on jwn and i wanted to do something a bit different--a slight unmasking of sorts and greet everyone face to face.

even with the help of a few notes, this is rambling, raw, and by no means the best personal experience video out there.

That was a lovely presentation and I enjoyed listening to your voice, you are a humble person and have a calming influence, I hope you will do more video's presented personally.

Konceptial said

One of the GB says things in a talk that NO ONE else could say as it's unloving, unscripturual, full of personal opinion and judgemental. One of the GB says things in a talk that will NEVER be published as they are too controversial to be put down in print.

I am starting to think that this was the actual test of faith that would be presented at this meeting. The JWs on JWTalk passed the test with flying colours. It would seem that the GB deliberately came up with such stupid comments (eg coloured socks) to see how the r&f would react so that they are aware of just how easy or difficult it is to make future changes.

Boys and their toys, lol. Surely they would hardly use it, if at all. Having several fire hydrants and hoses would suffice.

LQ At the local KHs, ALL donations were to go toward the Worldwide Work. ALL of them. Even any dropped in the Local Congregation slot

I guess they want payment for their 3 hour presentation.

Thanks for the updates.

It's no wonder they don't want this recorded, they would never dare to print this stuff.

I can't believe they didn't say anything about bathers.

Memorial Partakers

by Yondaime in

do they want to attract attention to themselves or are they just crazy?.

my sister just had a spiritual orgasm since she met a brother at a party who'd took part in the emblems.. .

i'm an atheist so i know its a load of bs, but what do you think this guy's objective is?.

Listener

There's no physical evidence of them being anointed, so it's a spiritual thing. This means they are being communicated to spiritually. However, they keep changing their doctrines which means there cannot be any spiritual communication.
