  True or False: Watchtower Male Stereotype

  by YoursChelbie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always used to cringe when the watchtower "family" and "youth" books would stereotype men and women into two mutually exclusive categories: "men think while women feel.

  "one trait is not better than the other they are just different...," i recall the books went on to say in so many words.

  i'm well aware both men and women have excelled in science, etc.

  I am a very emotional person.

  And I show it often. Can't help it.

  And no I am not insecure, unstable or whatever. Quite together really.

  That's just me.

  "Born-Again Christian" co-worker's Anti-Semetic comment distirbs me.

  by booker-t in

  2. friends

  i was having a very interesting conversation with a co-worker that is a "born-again christian" and is a very nice guy.

  he is very hard-working and everybody loves him to death.

  one reason i like him so much is because he lives the role of a christian and not just "announce" every 5 minutes that he is born-again like alot of christians i know.

  Two issues with this.

  1. There's no such thing as a non-born again Christian. I know the stereotype believer you are refering to but it has NOTHING to do with being born again.

  2. In view of (1.) you definitely NOT get a "dance" on this from most Christians. By far the majority will say "No" because they don't believe that or have no idea what you are talking about.

  So I say No.

  i have been speaking to my mom about the wbts a lot lately.

  She probably wants to remain apostate-free and that's why she can't write to the Faithful Slave asking them to explain anything they do.

  Yes because asking the good ole FDS a straight forward question immediately makes you an apostate doesn't it

  Did you ACTUALLY do this?

  by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as part of your "dedication and baptism" did you actually go to jehovah in prayer and "dedicate" your life to him prior to your baptism?

  at the time when the elders were reviewing the "questions" with me, i hadn't a clue that i was supposed to do this until one of them asked directly.

  i answered in the affirmative anyway ... wanting the incessant questioning to be over as quickly as possible.

  Yes I did.

  And in keeping with that I dedication I left in Sept 99. Quite simply because my dedication was to Him not the WT.

  Grace, what's so about that? So you've received an amazing revelation about Jehovah since and He's way bigger than you thought but surely you've remained true to your dedication?
