Sexual Depredation as a function of male society by men of a Certain Age

by TerryWalstrom in

jw
friends

i would like to remind those folks younger than i that it was very few years ago when almost the entire planet earth was run by and for the benefit of men.women have throughout history been the property of men.due to religious restrictions, teachings, and fundamentalist doctrines, women in the largest societies on earth right now (muslim, chinese, n.korean) have almost no human rights at all.next year, in june, women will, for the 1st time, be allowed in arabia to drive---but--only if they are 30 years old or older, and for only a few hours per day!the old testament laws (read through them sometime) are horrifying reflective of prejudice toward gender, bodily cleanliness, guilt-tripping, and anonymity.

There are pigs everywhere. Men and women. Just like there are racists everywhere.

Things are said to me almost weekly by women that if the table was turned and I said them about women I would be fired yesterday. As with anything else in life, If you do not like things that are said to you then it is up to you to fight for yourself. You cannot count on anyone else to do it for you.

If Harvey told a 20 year old woman that she had to sleep with him to get the job then he is taking advantage of his position. The 20 year old is free to say "fuck it" and walk away, she is also free to take him up on his proposition. It makes him sleezy, it makes him an opportunist. It also makes the female an opportunist. If she later regrets it, then she regrets it. Experience is an effective teacher.

I should say I have only heard that Harvey preyed upon young adult women. If he did something illegal he goes from douche bag to criminal.

Proof from the bible the Preaching work was completed in the 1st century

Are these proofs from original documents? Or are you just using a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy to try to prove that your point is correct?

Let me guess... your copy is correct because your copy says it is correct?

Why I constantly write letters to the Watchtower Society

by UnshackleTheChains in

hi all.. for many years now, i have been writing letters to bethel in new york and london.

i have also written to the charity commission, the bbc and more to highlight the harmful teachings and policies of the watchtower society.

i realise that some may view this as futile and understand why they might feel this way,; especially considering the pharisaical stonewall-like attitude displayed by the leadership of watchtower.. some reasons i do so is because i feel that constructive criticism is essential in helping to bring about change.

pbrow

It is absolutely NOT a waste of time. Just because a letter will most likely not get many out, that does not have to be the main point of letter writing. Your conscience is telling you to write and following your conscience is NEVER a waste of time.

If these cow eyed adults do not care to read your letters then fuck 'em. Every letter, every good natured hello to a dub from an ex/apostate, every sip of wine that is taken at the memorial is a chance to be a brick out of the wall in the minds of someone. You never know who that someone is but this message board is living proof that we have been, we are and we will continue to be woken up every day.

No two people are the same and people wake up in different ways for different reasons. Do whatever you think helps sans violence.

My friend the 'Super-Dub.'

by joey jojo in

i speak semi-regularly to an old friend of mine who i would describe as a super-dub.. he knows i am inactive but over the years i have peppered him with a lot of questions about the org.

that i hoped would make him at least pause and think somewhat rationally about the reality of being a jw in this brave new- post gb 2.0 world.. we have discussed everything from the generation changes, to the u.n. , failed prophecy, flip flops, the reduction in size of the wt magazine, the closing/ consolidation of bethels including lay-offs, jw broadcasting, cart witnessing- etc, etc.. what do i mean by super-dub?

he is a born-in, has missionary parents, he reg.

pbrow

Maybe thats how you start the conversation then...

Why do you worship the gb and do whatever they say? Then when they give you the answer about how they do not follow or worship the gb, go into all the other things you talk about.

Make them disprove your initial question in whatever way they choose and then go into all the issue that prove they are full of contradictions.

At the end of the day, they will not tear down the wall until they want to but until then... every. brick. helps.

Orwellian change of the history(Again)

by Ray Frankz in

well, this month's jw broadcasting had a curious piece of history class.

samuel herd was there, but i don't remember if it was him that presented it.

the theme was "how it was to be a jw in the years 1900.".

pbrow

and that is how you destroy the mental freedom of numerous generations. Strike at the widower right when he is at his lowest.... and bingo... you have multiple generations of stunted minds.

Maybe i missed it.... did the little girl ever get to see her mommy again?

so i'm pretty sure my fade is complete.

haven't stepped foot inside a kh in 9 years.

but the concept of fading still makes me wonder.

Since I have formally and informally left this church I have not sinned once.

Now that I think of it... even when I was in I never sinned.

My oldest is truly out. She may have to go to meetings with her mother but mentally she is done with this church. I wish I had the smarts and the stones that this girl has at 15 years old!
