hi guys, i'm new to the site.. sorry to bring up an old topic.

but just wondering if anyone knew if the brochure referred to in the infamous un letter of 2004 is available to read anywhere?

this is the brochure of 1991 (before the supposed "changed language that we cannot subsribe to").

Women: Are they Equal to Men ?
by villagegirl in
1. jw
2. friends
one of the hard core doctrines of the wt society, and many other religions, is that women are to be in "subjection" to men.. in the bible, in genisis , it says the domination of women by men came after adam and eve disobeyed god.

eve was cursed by pain in childbirth and that from then on as a curse: "he shall rule over you " from then on the male was to dominate the female.. but that was not in the original plan.

this was a reversal of the plan and a curse.

Distrust and paranoia among faders
by cedars in
1. jw
2. friends
hi guys.

i'm interested in knowing whether any other faders out there ever find themselves feeling a little paranoid about establishing contact with other faders or former jws, just in case the unthinkable happens and things turn sour.. personally, i'm now fairly comfortable with the idea that i will be disfellowshipped or disassociated within the next year or so.

i see it as inevitable, and an essential transition in order to do what i want to do with my life.

this is something that has always bothered me!.

why do rank and file have to pay for co's do's expenses, car, health insurance, meals, etc, etc...?.

didn't the apostle paul say that all christians have to be self sufficient and work?, not depending on anyone else and cause a burden?.

1. jw
2. friends
i think with every year their are more and more newbies that identify with this site , would you like to say " hi ", if you have joined in the last 12 months ?.

does anybody have a graph of the numbers of newbies who have joined in say the last 5 years ?.

i think that would be interesting.

After A Day In Field Service, Did You Get Euphoric Or A Spiritual High?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

i know this might sound silly but field service did provide a strange type of good feelings after i was done.

i called this the "halo-effect" because i felt so "righteous, obedient and good" for taking the weirdos or "the friends" in my station wagon.

vans and station wagon owners in the congregations often get used hard, pile up seven whacks and your off!
