  If Women were elders, would it make a difference in the organization?

  by John Aquila in

  imagine 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, "Would it really matter to a beautiful woman what married sisters think?"

  Sometimes it does. BTW most eligible brothers don't look like George Clooney and company. :)

  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.

  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.

  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.

  worst day in the last ten years, was the day i hit 0.00 with one and a half years of university to go.

  nobody to turn to, nobody to ask for help.

  i was 32 and as an ex jw had two family members in contact with me.

  You could be an ex JW……..

  if 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 in

  i'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$.
