  Would you be able to kill?

  by JH in

  .

  how would you feel if you had to go to war and kill people?

  would your spiritual background stop you from doing this, or would you see this as a patriotic thing to do?

  I totally agree with Scully. When you enlist in the service of your country you must go and do what they tell you or suffer the consequences. Its a difficult choice to make for this country's young people who have to weigh the benefits gained from enlistment against the tasks they must perform. I support their individual decisions whatever they may be.

  However....if someone chooses to invade my space with the thought of doing harm to me and mine; the local undertaker will be wiping their sorry a$$. Self preservation is still the first law of nature.

  Women raised as JWs: Did the WTS views on women negatively impact you?

  by berylblue in

  i'd really like to know.. my experience was that women who were raised in the "truth" and married to a good jw brother did not know how to make decisions.

  from reading this board, this would, however, appear to be the least of their problems.. what specifically, if any, were the problems associated with always being told you were a second class person and not capable of making decisions?.

  My mother spouted on about the 'joys' of subjugating oneself to her husband, but in reality, she wore the pants in the family.....her mouth and her example seldom agreed.

  For the most part, my husband and I enjoy a spirit of co-operation in our household...we discuss all aspects of a situation and work out the best solution for our needs.

  When I was in the congregation the most evident display of subjugation by wives was a spirit of helplessness and total dependency on the man of the family. So very sad.

  hi guys!.

  having looked at all the impressive us war ships i would love to understand the difference between a destroyer and a cruiser.

  they have the same speed and approx.

  Just a guess, but cruisers are heavier than destroyers and while carrying heavier weaponry they tend to be a bit slower than destroyers. DDEs were used as escorts during WWII as they could travel faster to the spot where submarines were sighted and unload their depth charges.

  Perhaps my memory stems more from the days of WWII, but cruisers were big honkin' ships and destroyers were more sleek and streamlined. Things must have changed if you say they're now the same size!

  How many of you were whipped by JW parents, relatives,random cong. members?

  Before finding this board I believed that my JW mother was psychotic as she beat the living daylights out of me on a regular basis. I had 3 skull fractures before I was eleven years old.

  She was the rare woman who held a 'servant' position in the congregation due to lack of qualified men and insisted that I be a perfect child, subservient in every respect so that her position would not be threatened. She was a full-time pioneer in the days when you had to have 100 hours per month and that meant that as a child I had to fill in at home doing what she left behind to go door to door.

  It was a huge awakening to me to find that many others shared my experience of the brutality inflicted by 'loving' JW parents and relatives. Thanks, all of you for being here.

  According to what I've read in the Bible account of Jesus' life; he routinely distributed the contributions he received to those of the poor around him. The WTS sucks all the contributions into its gaping maw and gives nothing back in return to those whose lives they've ruined by their 'teachings'.

  I hope for the best for you, Goofy, and your parents.
