  They did the same thing in the To Verdener (Worlds Apart).

  The magazines/literature were made up-titles (the Way instead of the Watchtower etc)

  also the kingdom melodies were made up, but sounded very familiar.

  JWs and Neutrality

  by Vidqun in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws have always had a problem with neutrality:.

  1) during ww i they encouraged via the magazines to buy war bonds, i.e., liberty bonds, as it was then known, thus actively supporting the war effort (search, under "war bonds").. 2) during ww ii, the australian branch also invested heavily in war bonds in order for the ban to be lifted.

  after the war, they had to repent, before jehovah could bless their efforts again.. 3) more recently the wts has invested in companies with defense contracts.. 4) membership of the un as ngo (1992-2001).

  Do JWs treat women like second-class citizens, like their husbands' property?

  by matt2414 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as an elder, i recall that the husband always had to be present on any judicial committee meeting involving his wife, but that the wife was not to be present on judicial committee meetings involving her husband.

  has this changed?

  if not, isn't that treating women as lesser persons than their husbands?.

  I guess it is also influenced by cultural factors. In USA, fundamentalism is far stronger than e.g. Scandinavia.

  Here female pioneers are written to in their own names. Also quite a few couples I knew were pretty equal and quite a women jokely states that such guidance goes into on ear and out of the other... Here I think it was more noticable if a sister was acting submissive.. most would then think that the husband was too dominating etc...
