dear lurkers, you won't be disappointed by this topic.
when i was in the org, there was a strict dress code.
no woman was attractive, and when i was a young witness child i was conditioned to believe every woman in the world must be ugly.
Promo dude? I know of almost NO very attractive women who were not married in the ORG.
None become missionaries or go to bethel if not married, and pioneering just makes them more eligible and usually give them more access to other brothers too.
Your other statements confuse me too.
this was inspired by a recent post by nike and the comments that followed re gender balance in the org.
if jw's accept the concept that the gb continue to push - that people only become believers if they are "rightly disposed" and are thereby "drawn by god.".
then given the huge gender imbalance and also the huge differences in percentages of jw in some lands vss others only two things can possible follow from that:.
doubtful1799 - maybe it has more to do with countries that are not CHRISTIAN have a harder time converting to Christianity in general.
hey everyone.
i have a question and i hope i'm not confusing this with something else i heard.
while watching ex jw videos on youtube many of them talk about how noah's ark and the flood didn't happen and it's impossible.
Flood would require supercharged evolution
How about that the rate of Evolution after the flood ( to go from the number of animals you could fit in an average Home Depot to the 10s of millions of species today ) would mean that new critters would be popping up every day.
i've been to the kingdom ministry school (for elders) recently and can report that it is mostly the usual mix of cliches and platitudes.
several letters where basically just read through one line at a time.
one point early on though almost made me laugh out loud.
sir82 - There have been so many of those stupid soliloquy "porn is bad" demos it's hard to keep track.
All they were good for is making brothers "elders & servants especially" feel guilty about spanking the monkey to their favorite free porn tube website.
Of course, biology trumps WT Mind control most of the time in that battle:)

Once at the CO meeting with the Elders, the CO gave an example and asked us how to handle.
It went like this:
What if you were away for business and you were in your hotel and turned on the TV and a Porn movie was playing. What would you do?
(funny I guess the WT doesn't know that that doesn't happen, that you have to PAY for movies especially PORN if the hotel even offers that, which many don't anymore.)
One brother said he would run out of his room, find a quiet place outside, and pray to Dog for help.
The CO suggested that you should just RIP the cord out of the TV, cuz that's why hotels have maintenance people. (Yes he promoted vandalism)
The whole time I was just sitting there in the back with my mouth open unbelieving of the entire situation.

Wow I cant believe that this is still talked about.
SO SO SO MANY REASONS ITS BULLSHIT!
Few not ever mentioned.
1. Water Salination. If the flood water came from rain or undergrounds springs - they would have been FRESH water. So that water would have mixed with the Saltwater in the oceans at the time. Imagin how salty the ocean water would have been pre-flood then? Sea life as we know it would not have been able to live in that water. Think - Dead Sea. Not many fishies swimming there, plus the all would float.
2. Bugs. Ah - did Noah save all the insects? Where were the bees, or the millions of other insects that are needed to have a viable ecosystem?
3. Slate cleaner. If there was a flood as described, and you had continents rising and falling (which is so stupid), the entire surface of the earth would be scoured clean. No plant life would survive. Then have it under salt water for an extended time to make sure its all dead. How did the plant life all come back when noah got out of his boat? Where were all the bugs (bees) that would be needed to pollinate plant life? There are about a million other moving parts what would have been needed that would have been erased by a 'flood'.
There are so so many more.

OMG !!! I was just innocently reading these posts - and as I scrolled down there was a picture of a girl in a bikini!!
I let Satan in my heart (by not throwing my computer out the window and saying a prayer) and immediately started masturbating, then I turned gay, then I left my family, then I turned to drugs, then I became a full-time male prostitute.
Everything the WT said came true.
Thank you Gisele Bundchen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so, my son bought me a device that allows me to look up and watch anything i want.
i remember years ago , i enjoyed the television show hee haw on sunday evenings.
i naively thought it was wholesome family entertainment.
During the rest of the show, much of what you saw was women's breasts exposed, women laying in suggestive positions, dirty jokes, women wearing miniskirts, women being sensual, women and men flirting with each other, men looking at women.
EVERY SHOW SHOULD INCLUDE SUCH!!!
Except for men looking at women - now that crosses the line.
Gentry go use your DEVICE to watch JW broadcasting and leave us the F alone.
FYI - it's probably a Fire Stick with illegal software that lets you pirate any show or movie.
The Great Jehober will KILL you at Harmageddon for that - Brother Achan
