  Are the Elders harder on Women

  by Steel in

  2. experiences

  i was having a discussion with an old friend last night.

  her parents are divorced and his mother never became “one of jehovah witnesses “ .

  long story short she claims elders are generally hardier on women than men.

  found this very interesting article on another site.

  looks like there people, and at an assembly too, who are not afraid to show their displeasure to the inhumane policies of the org.. http://avoidjw.org/2016/08/shunning-the-shunning/.

  Every new court case means cookie cutter response "Jehovah's Witnesses abhor child abuse"

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone noticed that with each new child abuse case that involves the watchtower, there is no apology to the victims but only their standard cookie cutter response:.

  "jehovah's witnesses abhor child abuse".

  they "abhor child abuse", but they do not acknowledge any guilt.. i give them a g for repetition for emphasis.

  Abandoned by JW and yet trapped

  by awake!watcher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  had an enlightening discussion with my 20 something, baptised, awake son.

  he said he feels abandoned by the religion, and yet trapped at the same time.

  i had never thought about it that way before, but can totally understand where he is coming from.

  i had a couple of young brothers at my door and one used the word "channel" in referring to how the gb gets inspired.

  i was pretty surprised at that.

  i've been "out" for a long time and i'm very out of the loop..

  Are gays really condemned in the Bible?

  by jws in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i was having this argument with a friend about the westboro baptist idiots.

  my point is that while they are horrible people, they are pretty much right in that the bible is against gays because it has verses in both the old and the new testament.

  which is one of many reasons to reject the bible as merely man-made rules from ancient middle-easterners.. and she argued that there are problems in translation, etc.
