Pull up your damn pants! I did NOT need to see *that* before I start making dinner... now I'll be all distracted and I may oversteam my veggies (just by standing next to them)!!!

What about the JW men who withhold sex to punish their wives?
I'm sure most of them get over it fairly quickly (the rest are passive aggressive jerks) ... that's probably the origin for the scripture that says not to go to bed angry with each other. LOL

Once I had daughters, knowing how the WTS encourages and cultivates this misogynistic mindset, I knew I had to leave. I didn't want my girls to grow up believing that they had to agree to be a man's doormat in a relationship. I didn't want them to think that they were worth less because they were born without a penis. I honestly don't know how my mother ever got sucked in to this religion and felt it was ok to accept that treatment for herself or her daughters.

Jehovah the lazy God.
by cyberjesus inwhen your wife/husband or someone promises to wash the dishes or any other chore and just procrastinates, they need a reminder or sometimes a constant plea or request to do it.
--- please do the dishes, or can you please do the dishes... when they are really lazy about it then you endup asking the request many many times.... when you really want to do the dishes .... you just do it.
you dont need anyone to remind you are ask you constantly to do it.

Could be , he forgot about asteroids hitting the earth creating enormous amounts of destruction
Maybe the asteroids are coming from Uranus. That would explain the delay.

I'd have to agree that he's either lazy or totally passive aggressive.
I could never quite figure out why Almighty God Jehovah - the one who created all things and who promises to destroy all the wickedness on earth at Armageddon™ - needed puny human janitors (and massive flocks of birds, let's not forget) to clean up after Him. Why not just do a Mr Clean Magic Eraser type thing and get rid of all the built up soap scum in one wipe? But no, he wants the people who have been psychologically traumatized by what they've observed at Armageddon™ to participate in the World Wide Cleaning Work - perhaps to further terrorize them and etch into their brains what their fate can be if they step out of line??
Passive aggressive: sees all the wickedness and corruption, promises to do something about it... but only when he's good and ready. Pray for Jehovah's Day™ to come! Wait On Jehovah™! WTF... frankly it's amazing that more JWs aren't having nervous breakdowns with all the unfulfilled anticipation they've experienced for years.

Does the WTBTS purposely distort the number of anointed remaining?
by lifeisgood ini am trying to prove or disprove a statement that i read today.
i read a statement by someone that i trust that the wtbts purposely distorts the number of anointed left alive in their reports.. i used to be a jehovah's witness.
i know all of their teachings very well.

Remember, they don't report the number of "Anointed". They report the number of "Partakers", or those who claim to be anointed, because they can't possibly know for sure if someone who claims to be anointed is legitimate or not.

Will the WTS ever give up on Armageddon?
by factfinder injesus died some 2,000 years ago.
how much longer will people wait for him to return?.
will the wts still preach the nearness of armageddon 100 years from now?

No, just like the Catholic Church will never give up on hellfire. It's one of the things (that includes DFing and the shunning that goes with it) that helps the WTS keep JWs in line.

June 15, 2011 WT... Are they really getting that desperate?
by Alfred inso i was just browsing the june 15, 2011 (study edition) watchtower and came across this seemingly desperate article in the last two pages (29 & 30):.
a christian has a scriptural obligation to care for his family, and that includes providing for their material needs.

My (JW) hubby often points out that her skillset will be useless in the paradise to come. ~ jgnat
Really? You mean people won't have accidents, falling out of trees while picking apples, landing on their heads or breaking a leg? Women will stop having babies? I wonder if your hubby needs reminding that according to JW doctrine, human Perfection™ will not be achieved until after the 1000 Year Reign of Jesus. In the meantime, survivors of Armageddon™ - who obviously come through that ordeal completely unscathed and unscratched </sarcasm> - are tasked with cleaning up the mess left behind by Jehovah's battle of Armageddon™. That's right, Almighty God, who has the capacity to cleanse the earth before our eyes, has deemed that it's beneath him to do the post-Armageddon™ clean-up and rebuilding, and has, instead, left that task to puny still-Imperfect™ human survivors of his worldwide genocide of non-JWs, ex-JWs and dirty rotten Apostates™... at least what's left of them after the birds of prey have had their fill of the corpses... with the best jobs, of course, going to those with extensive janitorial and window cleaning experience.
Of course physicians will have a useful skillset in the Paradise™ - especially if they are psychiatrists.

The JW funeral talk outline - poor taste or REALLY poor taste?
by Mr. Falcon inso i attended a funeral for a jw who passed away (non-"annointed) and i would have to state that although i have heard the standard funeral talk outline for dozens of funerals i've attended, i never really took the time to listen.
and my god, i was cringing.
the outline is essentially broken down like this:.

A friend of mine passed away a few years ago of cancer - she was in her early 40s. She'd been a Pioneer™ for years, married to a Ministerial Servant™ and they had a couple of children. Her Memorial Service™ took all of 20 minutes.
It probably took people more time to drive to the KH (one way) than it did to wrap up the Memorial Talk™. It made me sooooo angry!!!

what do you say to a brother-in-law elder who can't take no for an answer
by focariedu21 inmy daughter is getting married soon and she has "no kids to my wedding" policy as we plainly cannot afford it.
everyone out of the truth seems to understands this and no complaints but my abnoxious proud and pig headed brother in law can't take no for an answer as he thinks his young son is sooooooo special he needs to attend.
he called up yesterday and gave her an earfull on how his son is sooo good and her first cousin that it's sooo wrong to have him there, she came home crying.

I'd explain the situation, saying that due to financial constraints a line had to be drawn somewhere, and the bride, the groom and the people footing the bill for the reception decided that it would be an ADULTS ONLY event.
Since he insists on being an immature brat about the whole thing, he can easily be UNINVITED so his wife can attend and he can stay home with the kid. I'll bet the kid isn't *that* well behaved that the dad can handle him for a whole evening. Obviously, if they can't nail down a babysitter, the kid is a problem, or he's just too cheap to pay for one.
Alternatively, inform him that if he's willing to pitch in the extra money (make it unreasonably expensive, say $2000) to cover the cost of ALL the children being invited, the decision stands that the reception is ADULTS ONLY. Have some ushers on greeter duty at the reception entrance to do the dirty work, and give them some extra perks to ensure that nobody who brings kids will be admitted [but don't broadcast this beforehand].
Another option would be to just say, "Oh dear, I would think that, as an Elder™ you would follow the Society's recommendation and not try to impose your demands on the host of the wedding by trying to bring more people than were invited. How rude!!" I believe the reference is in the 1984 Watchtower... somewhere between April and June. It was current around the time Mr Scully and I were planning our wedding.
