  Being a feminist in the JW religion

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it essentially makes me feel like i am an evil, immoral, selfish imdividual who god hates (even though "evil" is really a religious term, and i am not religious, even though i don't do terrible things, even though i care about others so much that i am remaining a jw mainly for other people).

  i hate not being able to express my feelings, not just about supposed gender roles, but about many aspects of life.

  i think i am fair and accepting about both sexes, and all sexual orientations, and about many other things, such as a person's religion or the lack thereof.. and yet in this religion it is veiwed as a bad thing, a sin, to accept or even tolerate these things without prejudice.

  What made you leave "The Truth"?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for me it was many things.

  most concerned certain teachings that invloved genders, children, sex, sexuality and sexual orientations, disfellowshipping, apostates, blood, rape, and few other things, as well as the jw's unloving attitude toward so many people..

  Saint Dogbert, atempting to exorcise the demons of stupidity.

  I used to love Scott Adams after reading his books... till I found out he thinks that men raping women is totally natural for men, and they all would if it wasn't illegal. How can anyone think so little of their own gender and know so little of human nature that they would attempt to perpetuate such a disgusting, offensive myth?

  What was something that you loved but were denied as a JW?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i could go on and on about all the things i loved, but i'll keep it brief and just mention one, rather trivial thing: music.

  i love grunge and punk, and occasionally heavy metal, and can't listen to a lot of it as a witness..

  creativespirit: It's great that you found someone who understands. Glad to hear from someone who won't take that "submissive" BS.

  Band on the Run: thanks for your comment. There are better parts of thhe bible, and worse parts, I guess. I'm sorry you had to go through what you did growing up. That sounds just...awful.

  rebel8 WTF? What did they say about guys having bigger heads? WHAT? THE? F*CK? IS? THIS? SH*T?

  designs: I thought so. That's sad. So many women who could accomplish so much, if only they were allowed...

  No Room For George: Yeah, Judges is...something else, alright. One of my least favorite bible books. A lot of parts of the bible really bothered me, especially as a young child.

  Very interesting! I never thought so much (or wanted to) about Adam and Eve's sex life; or lack therof. But this is great. I wish I could share it with someone!
