  How do women do it ????? Do you have no self respect ?????

  by run dont walk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  125 years of the watchtower, and women are still considered garbage.. they cannot give talks, have a position in the congregation, cannot lead a study when a man is present, give a prayer etc etc etc etc.......... they can be of the annoited class, but a man who is a ms, still has more say !!!!!!!!!!.

  to all the women on this board, did this ever bother you as a jw, and does it bother you know ???.

  how can women sit at a meeting and in a round about way be treated like garbage and accept it ????

  It bothered me then, and yes, I still hate the thought. That's why I try not to get involved in threads about the treatment of Islamic women. Considering what I let the WTS dictate to -me-, it would be hypocritical.

  Another one of those e-mails...

  if you're one of those people who constantly get forwarded jokes in your e-mail, you've probably already read this one.

  my customary habit is to delete without reading 9/10 of what arrives in my inbox.

  however, this is perhaps one notch above the usual.

  If Tim would let me, I'd drink myself senseless. As it is, I am down, down, deeply down tonight, so I guess I'll just eat myself senseless, then come back here tomorrow and whine about being overweight.

  SOJ explain how your conscience allows you to post on Apostate site?

  by LyinEyes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am really curious as to how you will answer this soj,,,,,,,and any other active jw's who post here, even read here,,,,,,,,,because when i was an active witness,,,,,,,,i was taught that reading any apostate material was wrong.

  i didnt even watch a tv show that talked bad about the jw"s for fear it was an apostate program.. i know if you are caught soj, posting here,,,,,,you would not have been reinstated( you were right?

  ), so did you tell the elders you post here?

  SOJ is presumptuous just like Uzziah

  The very fact that s/he calls herself "Sword of Jah" seems repulsively presumptious to me.

  To "my brother" SwordofJah

  i don't think we're anything alike from what i've read of your posts.

  i'm interested to know what you think...... an old saying comes to mind though:.

  "you laugh at me coz i'm different, but i laugh coz you're all the same" .

  I was prepared to like (as I am anyone) SOJ, but some of her/his comments to others border on vile. I wonder if Sword realizes that her/his exemplar, Jesus, would never speak to others in the manner which s/he has?

  Whoa. Convincted in 1992 of what, "indecency with a child" . I can't find where the man was still an elder, although it doesn't matter. If he were still a pub in good standing...and never DF....

  This is the same org which will DF a woman for getting pregant, even if she is repentant, because of the "notoriety"?
