Thanks for posting this, Barbara.
According to pew, only 35% of JWs are male. If you take into account the many who are only there to keep peace in the family or to help their loved ones out, the percentage of BELIEVING males would be even lower.

If Women were elders, would it make a difference in the organization?
by John Aquila inimagine three single sisters who qualified to be appointed as elders in the congregation.
they qualified because they started reaching out in their early teens.
persistently and methodically they worked their way through the ranks by pioneering then becoming a m.s.

JA, Boy, are you dreaming! :)
Most of the women appointed would be the wives of current elders, widows. and older sisters. Few would be hot. The sexy types would not be appointed in the first place because the frumpy elderettes would have a large say in the process.
An attractive single sister is often treated like dirt by the married sisters in the hall. Trust me, I know.

I haven't laughed like that since the ASL dude's masterbation video.
haaaaaaay, there's another idea. Taking one of his expressive videos and interpreting for the interpreter.

How many of us stayed in the organization longer than necessary for these other reasons?
by John Aquila in -

Yes and no. First hubby was in my face with his anti-JWness and it ended up in divorce and driving me in deeper.
Second hubby gently helped me to think and reason a little at a time and helped me out.

You could be an ex JW……..
by punkofnice inif the only song you know by jimi hendrix is.................(fill in the blank).
if you are under the illusion hank marvin can actually play the guitar.. if you think the shadows and prince would make a great super group.. if the time 'half past eight' frightens you because it sounds like apostate!.
if you look around for a spy before wishing a happy birthday.. if you have never seen 'the exorcist' or harry potter movies.. if every time you see 6.07 on a digital clock you think of 5.39.. if you find yourself thinking, 'i must look that up.'.

You might be a female ex JW:
if you no longer own a dowdy dress and nylons.
If you no longer decide to buy a purse because it would make a great bookbag.
If you don't own a wooden spoon.

Pretend you were still a JW, would you have secretly wanted hospitals to force a loved on to have a blood transfusion?
by EndofMysteries ini'm curious, even though jws must fight and resist, how many secretly hope that their loved one is forced a blood transfusion so they can live and their conscious is cleared of having done everything possible to not have one?
or you have felt guilty and upset about it no matter what?

I would not have wanted blood forced on any adult including family because i was a true believer. I refused fractions, the whole bit. However, I was glad that the state took withholding blood out of parents hands. I could never handle it when children died over the blood issue.
Now that I know TTATT, If my child had died because I refused a blood transfusion I would not be able to forgive myself or the WTBT$.

Are You "Technically" Still A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ineven if you don't regard yourself as a practicing jw, some may view you simply as inactive, a lost sheep, etc.. if you were baptized but not disfellowshipped or disassociated, you may still be a jw---right?
your thoughts please..

That's a good question. I haven't reported "time" since 2009, haven't been to a meeting of any kind since 2011, not DFed or DAed. Hubby's stats are similar except he stopped meetings a year before I did.
Neither of us identify ourselves as JWs in any way shape or form yet our fade has been successful enough that when we run into dubs around town we are usually treated like we have moved and we are not close anymore. (which is true) We all say "Hi" exchange pleasantries, and move on.
One elder invited us to the memorial this year and hubby responded by telling him "Thanks, but we are no longer in your territory." That's the last we have heard from him.
Family started shunning us while we were still active 'cause we asked them to pay back the money they borrowed from my 90+ yo mother. So the answer to the op is: It depends on who you ask. LOL
