  i attended an event this week with my usual closest relatives, which was inside a community center-ish venue with a backyard area.

  it was given by my cousin's best friend.

  she invited around 50 people of all age groups and racially-mixed.

  Commuter Bethelites: Now At Warwick!

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just recently read the thread on this subject started by blueblades entitled "commuter bethelites" approximately 15 years ago.

  although the program had ended in brooklyn, wallkill, etc., in around 2002, i noticed that the borg has commuters (sisters, particularly) holding this privilege of service at warwick!.

  in a few previous postings which i told about my going on a recent bus trip to there, there were many single sisters used in that capacity as tour guides, cleaning the visitors' lobby and even directing traffic (two sisters had walkie-talkies, communicating to no doubt a central office, informing bus operators when to go and when to stop, when to let off their passengers, etc.).

  Org Is RACIST! Towards Sisters Of COLOR In Particular--IMO!

  by HiddlesWife in

  2. scandals

  i'm sorry--i'm getting this very sensitive vibe that the org (mainly those at the top) don't have any respect--forget about love--for sisters of color.

  i'm coming to this conclusion from a couple of videos on jw broadcasting about single sisters.. after watching this video: .

  Brothers Not Traveling With Sisters, Etc.

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've noticed within the past 2-3 decades that brothers have not traveled to various destinations with sisters and/or families.. myself with my own 2 sisters (bio/spiritual), 3 cousins, and 4-5 friends usually travel once a year during the spring and summer months to a number of places, whether it be via bus, train or plane.

  the travel groups [there are 3 which are commandeered by some older sisters and their own bio sisters, daughters, and granddaughters plus a niece or two)] which total about 30-40 persons travel regularly during these times of the year.

  although there are a great amount of females on these trips, there are hardly any adult males in attendance; the only males who are seated with the group range from age 5 to 12 approximately--these young boys are 2-6 in total--and once they reach high school age, that number dwindles from 1-0!.

  Interracial Relationships and JWs

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed that within the past couple of decades, i don't see a lot of interracial relationships (ir, for short) in the org.. i, myself, was involved in an ir over 2-3 decades ago and was engaged to get married [my ethnicity is: african-american and latina; my ex-fiance's ethnicity is: scottish and italian].

  he broke off the engagement, after three years of friendship and two years of dating, because his uncle and another brother (who was a temporary volunteer at bethel) pressured him to end our relationship [p.s.

  : his mother was quite close to my mother, one of my sisters and one of my close cousins.

  Elders/MSs and Higher Education

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  would a brother who is an elder or ministerial servant be looked down upon or ostracized for endeavoring into high education?.

  the reason i am asking this question is because i know of a ms who went to and graduated college (us) with a masters in science and engineering.

  he also taught these subjects at an adult education program.

  Single Sisters Over A Certain Age Group Getting A Bad Rap

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i'm new here; one of my relatives was a member on this forum a few years ago and told me about it.

  anyways, as a sister who has been in the org since childhood and now in her late 40's (plus as a woman of color), i have noticed that a number of brothers have an ageist attitude.

  they are very accepting of young women under 26 and rejecting women over that age, particularly those in their 30's and over.. is this an unspoken mindset from wthq (specifically from bethel), or is it that quite a number of males (sorry, i'm not sexist here) have this type of mentality?
