jimmy carter byline male-dominated religions oppress women, carter saysatlanta former president jimmy carter says male-dominated religions contribute to the oppression and abuse of women by twisting sacred texts to portray females as inferior to men in the eyes of god.. the 89-year-old carter makes that argument in his new book, a call to action: women, religion, violence and power.. in an interview broadcast on nbcs meet the press, the former president faulted his former denomination, the southern baptist convention, and the roman catholic church for denying women the same opportunities as men to serve as pastors and priests.. carter said some married men who belong to those churches conclude that their wives are inferior.. the catholic catechism and the 2000 baptist faith and message declare that men and women have different roles but are equal in the eyes of god..

Jimmy Carter is an inept old fool who, like a dead fish stinks more as he accumulates years.

Why JWs don't celebrate Mother's day

by Laika in

11 years ago

in the uk, this sunday is mother's day!

ask a jw why they don't celebrate holidays and they'll tell you it's because of some nefarious pagan connection.

but this is really just a cover.

I can only explain my own experience. In my case I don't celebrate Mother's Day because my mother does not deserve it.

i wanted to express appreciation to the members of this forum.

there are resources here that are deep.

like we heard from the stage, "what is your depth and breadth of bible knowledge?

The WTB&TS has lied to you and asked you to act dishonestly on their behalf.

Now they are "disfellowshipping" you, thus marking you as one who will not believe lies and acts in accord with your OWN conscience.

This is indeed something to be proud of!

We welcome you, and we are glad to have you join us!

Memorial 2014: Wrong date?

by AnnOMaly in

11 years ago

this was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.

so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.

sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.

So they've picked the wrong day for their meaningless ritual of rejection. ...again.

Who's gonna be upset by that: the Universal Sovreign Yod-He-Vah-He, or The Flying Spaghetti Monster, Yod-He-Haw-He-Haw?

The destiny of our immortal souls is at stake!

The WORLD MIGHT END without you - and THEN what would you do? huh?

No, this is REALLY IMPORTANT SHIT AND STUFF! REALLY!!

Photography and HDR

by ILoveTTATT in

11 years ago

as i have mentioned before, i love photography, and specially a technique called hdr.

hdr stands for high dynamic range, and it means the ratio of the "lightness" of the lightest spot in the picture to the darkest.. .
