How do women do it ????? Do you have no self respect ?????
by run dont walk in125 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 ????

Suicide and JW'S
by obiwan ini have personally had experience with this.
a long time friend committed suicide because of her husband and the problems they were having.
he abused her and ended up leaving her, the elders wouldn't help out much stating that it was a marital problem.. she couldn't cope with him leaving, she was extremely dependant on him, she felt the only way out was suicide.

Anyone Here Been To A Greek Island?
by Englishman ini've booked a week in corfu, a greek island, commencing july 20. it's our first visit to greece.
we're staying at a little place called paleokastritsa.
the guide books say it's unsuitable for old people (too steep), teenagers (too quiet), or children (too dangerous, high peaks).

Shunned? You are better off....
by DJ ini have to tell you that if you are currently shunned, although it may be painful....you are actually better off imo.
having had it both ways now, i am convinced that it was less painful than being halfway accepted (as i am now because my dad is sick).
my conscience is clear and it feels so good but at the same time i am in more pain than when i was shunned.
