  Re: the woman parking attendants and real life

  by carla in

  with much amusement i read the thread on women parking lot attendants and it got me to thinking about life at home for the average jw.. i believe i am correct in thinking that anything to do with jw-ism requires a penis, except all the leg work (fs & pioneers).

  meaning the mic's, talks, etc... but yet the same guy who thinks his wife (or any other woman) is not bright enough to run the sound system for example doesn't mind his wife hauling hay, digging in the yard, managing the checkbook and other various physical jobs as well as jobs that do in fact require a brain larger than that of a gnat?.

  let's say a guy is a bit technologically challenged but he can manage the sound system at the kh ok. i imagine he feels proud that he is getting to do this great privilege?

  Great discussion, Carla.

  Flipper has touched on a number of points, however, as a suggestion for women to defend their stance in the congregation it might be an idea to bring the following to the attention of the BOE.

  If women, in the Org, are viewed as 'lesser beings' than men, then how come Theresa May is currently the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and Angela Merkel is the Chancellor of Germany. Note: there have been other women who served as Head of State.

  Then there are women who are Monarchs, such as Queen Elizabeth 2nd of the UK and Commonwealth countries having reigned for 66 years and counting.

  these look like nice, middle class boys going to uni, involved in sports, government, etc.

  they are pretty much standard college kids.

  These idiots are not men; they are mice.

  My advice to any women is to steer clear of them.

  CSN (Crosby, Stills & Nash) - one of my all time favourite bands.

  I really enjoy playing this song on my guitar.

  The 'IN' families

  by punkofnice in

  one thing i don't miss about being a jobo, is those families that ruled the congregations.. i've seen how the elders protected their own using our old friend, nepotism.. eg.

  the son of an elder that stole a car and was prosecuted but 'let off' because it was kept secret and all his relatives were elders in the same congregation.

  it certainly went on when i was an elder but i wasn't one of the 'in' crowd.

  Oh boy, I've certainly seen how 'IN' families ruled the roost in a couple of the congregations I attended. There was a distinct divide between those who were 'IN' and those that were not.

  Nepotism, favouritism, and of course only 'selected' families had the CO stay with them / or invite them to lunch etc - a toxic environment indeed. So glad I'm out of that nonsense.

  ... well, obviously not rey (daisy ridley) from the latest star wars films.

  she's a complete mary sue.

  but, before hollywood tried to force sjw propaganda down our throats, there were lots of powerful, legit female characters in film.. here are some of my favourites .... ripley (sigourney weaver): i though this character was great.

  ROFLMAO; thanks for sharing.

  I think all the forum members who have 'served' at bethel should get together and publish a book of your experiences. It would be a best seller!
