  Crackdown on "sisters" volunteering at DCs

  by dozy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wts has sent a letter to all convention overseers expressing their increasing concern at sisters "directing brothers" at district conventions.. with immediate effect (ie for dc 2008), sisters are no longer to be used as volunteers in parking and security / watchman departments.

  any sisters volunteering in other departments (eg toilet cleaning) must be subordinate & follow the direction of appointed brothers.

  this move will put a huge burden on the dcs in my area - nearly half the volunteers for parking are sisters and there aren't enough volunteers as it is.

  So sick and tired of the double standard

  for a group that constantly bitches about people needing to accomadate it's beliefs and practices, jw's sure are inflexible and intolerant.

  i realize that we all already know that, but is of special irritation to me right now.

  my oldest sister, who is faded and now regularly attends a worldly church, is getting married.

  i was perusing through a book entitled "african american recipients of the medal of honor: a biographical dictionary, civil war through vietnam war" by charles w. hanna (jefferson, north carolina, and london: mcfarland & company, inc., publishers, 2002) when i came across this very interesting entry on pages 173-4. i thought some of you might find it interesting.
