  Are the Elders harder on Women

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  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.

  Yes I have heard of elders who get hard-on women, who are not their wives. They rarely or never get hard-on their wives.

  Sliding,

  That's funny, but very, very close to reality

  I believe they arranged their own flight (quite cheap, about $450 round trip from Calif.). But I don't know the rest.

  I was told that it was not international because only 4 or 5 countries were invited, Brazil, Cuba, U.S, and Guyana.

  An hour ago I went to bid good bye my two brothers in law and their wives (all elders/elderettes). They were invited to the special assembly in Puerto Rico this coming weekend. They are boarding the plane in about three hours (leaves at 1:00 am Pacific. time). It's the red eye that makes a short stop in Atlanta, then goes to Puerto Rico and arrives at 3:00 pm.

  What's the big deal you may say. Well, everyone was already dressing up for a meeting: women in Amish dresses and men with suit and tie. The assembly starts next Friday for God's sake. This is the summer and they are going to a country with tropical weather. Oh I forgot, one of my SIL had already the assembly ID pinned to her dress. I was told that they were asked to dress up even in the plane.

  They are going to ridiculous lengths to save a badly damaged image.

  Always glad to see you making videos. But I am specially happy for you because you represent the very people who absolutely don't belong to this organization. The young and the bright have endless possibilities to make their lives better and the lives of other people. As we get older, especially when we are poor an uneducated, those possibilities start disappearing. So it's sad to admit, but cults sometimes do some good to these type of people.

  Have a happy life. Don't forget that you need to grow the population. Young workers have to contribute to my Social Security when I start withdrawing, 20 years from now.

  jwfacts or jwinterpretations?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jwfacts is a great website, but in view of the fact that "there are no facts, only interpretations", as nietzsche said, should the website be renamed jwinterpretations instead?

  Crazy. Maybe the leadership really fears antagonistic messages more than ever. And for a good reason, the best JW's are being lost to the "apostate" message: pedophiles, O.N.U., false prophecy, overlapping generations, etc. This may be a reflection of the state of insanity, disarray and paranoia that they are falling under.

  @Vidquin Deeply ingrained (Christian) ethics were passed on to children

  Which ethics, the ones that tell women to shut up and obey their husbands, or the ones about the imminent destruction of everyone except the few chosen ones, or the one that treat gays as subhumans. It's more likely that you conveniently are referring to the neighborly love ethics borrowed from eastern religions like Jainism and Buddhism, which predate Christianity by several centuries. Or perhaps you are talking about our current western civilization ethics, which trace their origins to Christianity, but have been vastly improved by secular humanism.

  Jesus (if he exists) has a heart of stone - a saga about the hurt of children in his church.

  by fulltimestudent in

  jesus is supposed to care for little children.

  mark 10 is often quoted to illustrate his concern.. mark 10:13-16niv.

  the little children and jesus13 people were bringing little children to jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them.

  Jesus is as big an asshole as his old man.

  Jesus was just a bit kookie. His Dad was supposedly Joseph, and no one knows much about him, good or bad. These are crimes committed by humans among us who used the power of belief to control, exploit and abuse innocent people. Jesus and his Dad are innocent.

  I know you are writing in jest, but I needed to point out who the real s.o.b. are.
