Sisters and the Double Standard in the Hall
by Apognophos in"i do not permit a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man, but to be in silence.
" -- paul.
okay, so this means that a sister has to speak to a householder when on the platform, so she isn't addressing us herself and teaching us something.

One of the very basic reasons why I could not, in good conscience, continue as a JW. The constant reminders that I was "just a Sister™" and therefore amounted to a worthless 'hank of hair and a bag of bones' just never sat right with me.

i'm lmao that these are so similar to hockey cards or baseball cards that my siblings and i used to get in trouble for collecting when we were kids.

Yes - what about Ja'el? She was another badass female Bible character.
It doesn't get more badass than drugging an enemy general and then hammering a tent spike through his head.

Even the card dedicated to Mary doesn't even hint at the WTS belief that Mary was not "forever virgin" and that she bore other children, Jesus' brothers and sisters.
I'm thinking that these collector cards are geared to any potential visitor to the site, particularly fundamentalist Christian parents who home school their kids, looking for acceptable Ned Flanders-y type activities for their children.

I think it's hilarious that on these cards they have pegged Adam's creation at 4026 BCE. So if you add 7000 years (= 1 Creative Day™) to that you get 2975 CE (no zero year). Minus 1000 years for Jesus' rule post-Armageddon™ and you can determine that 1975 is where they place 6000 years since Adam's creation.
They are still hanging on to that old chestnut.

by carla inlondo111 mentioned this in an earlier post.
"i was taught never to pray aloud about private things--because then satan and the demons, who can't read minds, would be listening in.
if i mentioned aloud some weakness i was struggling with, then they would hear of it, and exploit it.

Really, in a nutshell, all they can pray for is for Jehovah's Will™ to be done.
However, often times I've heard prayers to include An Extra Portion Of The Holy Spirit™ be given to Elders™ and other Brothers™ looking after Jehovah's People™.
My JW father has been known to be thankful for "the measure of health we enjoy" and "for the food we are about to enjoy" (but not for the farmers who grew it, raised it, or the butchers who slaughtered it, or the grocers who packaged it, or the wife who purchased, prepared and served it).
As a sidebar comment, it makes me want to scream and/or puke whenever he prays for "our loved ones, that their hearts may be opened to The Truth™ and return to serving You once again."

I'm LMAO that these are so similar to hockey cards or baseball cards that my siblings and I used to get in trouble for collecting when we were kids. In fact, the website encourages kids to
Download, print, fold in half, and save each card. Collect them all!
Reminds me of Pokemon cards that my own kids loved collecting: Gotta catch 'em all!!
What won't these brainwashers do to enslave children!!??

I almost did, when my son was born more than 25 years ago. The nurse looking after me when I finally woke up tore a strip off me for almost dying and leaving my baby without his mother.
