Watch out, the ovum is at large and it's gunning for YOU!!! LOL. Thanks for the quote. I needed that laugh.
no teaching in the bible is clearer and more consistent than the one which holds women to be inferior to men.
below i show that it is taught that the woman was created from man, for man, that man--not woman--is the glory of god, and that women are not allowed to teach or control man because the woman, not the man, is the one who was deceived by the serpent.
" (1 corinthians 11:2-9) "for a man...is the image and glory of god: but the woman is the glory of the man.

jw kids could never go all out when they imitated worldly styles.. .
wanted to imitate madonna during her "lucky star" phase?
dangly heart earrings, but leave the crucifix at home.. .
Butalbee, too risque? Shock shock horror horror!
But seriously though, I hear ya.
could someone please have a look and perhaps post a picture from the nov 8th awake.
i have been told that the picture was taken during a convention and a young person is giving the 'finger' at the time the photo was snapped.
i do not have access to the mag but it would be interesting to see if something like that was allowed to slip through.

Dizzy: Thanks, I'll check it out!
Cardinal Fang: You're probably right about the porkpie hats, lol. Hey I am in North America!
Butalbee: *giggle* hey, where's your T.P. thread?
Diamond: heh heh, you stirred up distant memories with that "mini afro with sideburns" comment.
Very distant memories.*ahem*

Wanted to imitate Madonna during her "Lucky Star" phase? Try the
dangly heart earrings, but leave the crucifix at home.
Was the Punk movement more your speed? Forget about getting a mohawk.
Instead, try asking the barber to add some soft color and a touch of shag to your haircut.
Hiphop your thing? Buy your meeting slacks a bit on the roomy side, but not too loose.
Wouldn't want to stumble any sisters who might get a peek at your designer boxers.
Worldly manners of dress might creep into a JW youngster's meeting
clothes here and there, but whatever worldly style you fancied, you could never
sport the complete look at the kingdom hall and be able to escape the brothers' loving counsel.
There was one exception. The oh-so-retro Ska look.
Some circuits were crawling with Rude Boys. Really now, what could they
possibly be counseled on? For Pete's sake, these guys were wearing
cast-off 1960's field service clothes! Who's going to get counseled for that?
I mean, didn't some of the GB wear suspenders? Well there ya go.
As long as they didn't flaunt the names of some of their favorite bands like
The Circle Jerks or The Buzzcocks, everything was cool.

Heh, great post. The other day, a JW talked with me for about 30 minutes and not once
did she crack open the bible.
Heck, didn't even see a bible, she just wanted to place
the magazines "We Need Good Neighbors" and "Do Numbers Control Your Future?"
Back issues at that.
have any of you guys ever notived how many jw's complain about "other" halls not having jehovah's holy spirit?
when i was a jw i moved a bit and was in several different halls.
i heard of a number of halls not having jehovah's holy spirit and that in time jehovah would clear things up.
If someone said that a hall had no holy spirit,
it was just them seeing things for what they
were. It's easier to say a particular hall had
no holy spirit than to say the whole org had
no holy spirit.
Move around enough and soon the realisation will hit that none of the halls have it..
what's the most unbelievable thing you've ever heard while you were a witness?
one thing that stands out for me is being told that i would never go thru junior or high school because the end was right around the corner.....what about you??
?
Only one? Had a member of the annointed interrupt book study with this long
harangue about how evil the Jews are. Of course, since he was one of the
annointed, this was uttered under Jehovah's direction.
some people are "morning people", some people are "night people" and some people just smile in both the night and the day to annoy me.
i am what you would call "not a morning person" and thus i like to drink coffee.
mocha's have always been my taste of choice and thus i own my own little espresso machine and make myself espresso mocha's a lot to make this "night person" a little more alive in the mornings of life.
Ooh that demon caffeine. God gawd almighty. Boy that was a knee slapper.
And a very odd thing to be counseled for indeed...
I was never taken to the dreaded back room for anything, just
chastised for laughing during the watchtower study and for drawing caricatures
of the brothers and sisters on the literature during meetings.
