Is the bible God's Word?
by WTLies in

the watchtower once believed that if a woman did not scream while being raped, then she was guilty of fornication.

she was 'in on' her own rape, thus she too is just as guilty as her rapist.

i don't think there is a person in this forum today, who does not find this reasoning repugnant and archaic.

Properly Understanding Genesis 3:14
by Yadirf in
1. jw

it was satan that was cursed, not the snake!

if it was satan then that the "curse" of genesis 3:14 applied to rather than the serpent, then how is it that satan has had to live his life since that day as if having to go upon his belly and eat dust?

the answer is arrived at by first considering the lowly state of this somewhat pitiful creature called the "serpent".

IF I WAS AN ELDER, I WOULD..............

for decades i heard people say "if i was an elder,i would change this or i wouldn't allow that.brothers and sisters alike would always try to get the ear of an elder so as to enact a particular cause.everybody has their own pet peeves in a congregation.

knowing what you know now, if as an elder you could make a major change in the congregation or organization, what difference would you make?.....this is hypothetical so it can be answered by male or female.

hi everybody.. this is my first post.

i have been reading the forums for some time, but have not posted til now, as it brings painful memories.. my experience with the jw's began in 1967, when my mother was killed in a car crash, and my father married a jw six months later.

we were a ''blended family''.

Whats the dumbest thing you were counselled for?
by Beck_Melbourne in
1. jw
2. friends
i was once counselled by the elders for watching 'knots landing'....it became widely known in the congregation that me and a few other sisters would rush home from field service to watch our favourite soapie.

if we missed it, we would ring each other up for an update...or...if we weren't near a tv we would ask someone to put the phone handset on the top of their tv so we could hear it...pathetic huh...but that was all the excitement we could scrounge up in our otherwise dull and uneventful lives.

one of the elder's wive's conscience got the better of her...and she confessed to her husband..lol.
