Just a little anecdote illustrating how out of touch the typical JW is

this weeks book study lesson was on martha, the sister of lazarus.

the chapter in the "imitate their faith" book praised her for being "industrious".. the conductor at our congregation meeting was just positively gushing about how "industrious" modern-day jw women are.. he was so exciting, he could barely get the words out.

following is not an exact quote, but conveys the gist:.

I just thought of something. This is for you folks who are still stuck in the organization because of family and friends.

This will not work if you caught coming out of a motel, OK. And this is for single folks.

But if you are called in to talk with elders about an overnight stay in a brother or sister home(someone spotted your car)

Just tell them, Jesus stayed in Mary and Martha's home on many occasion and I'm

sure they weren't the only single sister He spent the night in their homes. Was he DF????

Single Sisters Over A Certain Age Group Getting A Bad Rap

by HiddlesWife in

i'm new here; one of my relatives was a member on this forum a few years ago and told me about it.

anyways, as a sister who has been in the org since childhood and now in her late 40's (plus as a woman of color), i have noticed that a number of brothers have an ageist attitude.

they are very accepting of young women under 26 and rejecting women over that age, particularly those in their 30's and over.. is this an unspoken mindset from wthq (specifically from bethel), or is it that quite a number of males (sorry, i'm not sexist here) have this type of mentality?

The friends that was part of the great crowd ( in the 60's and 70's) many have passed on, but

mostly the men. The wives left behind in their 50's-70's most were financially secured, they

do not have a problem finding a mate. My daughter keep me inform, dad you remember sister

so and so ( in her 60's) well she married 70 year old brother so and so now he can stop working.

This has happen several times in my old congregation.

It's funny he used Martha: Luke 10;38-42 Martha hot from the kitchen and

exhausted from cooking and cleaning while Mary sitting at Jesus feet and taking in

every word. Martha thinking what must it take to host the Son of GOD, so she is distracted

with much serving, she approached Jesus and tell him' I'am working my butt off and I am getting

no help for my sorry sister sitting at your feet, I need help Jesus..

What did Jesus say, Stop your bitching (ok he didn't say that), but he told her "Martha,Martha, you

are worried and troubled about many things, ( yes, like what the hell will I serve the son of GOD)

But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her".

What the hell does that mean, "Mary has chosen that good part"?

She have been working all day to feed him and no help from sister Mary.

Man, Jesus can be down right nasty some times..

The Ark rested on the mountains of Ararat, so 2-5 animals of the world made their way down to

dry land. How in the hell did hippopotamus,elephants,giraffes and other large animals make their way down

from the top of mount Ararat..Maybe Jehovah carved out a road and they slid down the mountain side, 15000 feet...

A conversation years ago with a JW friend. How will you communicate with fellow believers

around the world? He said, no problem look what we have accomplish today with our KH building,

we will work together, look at our branch offices through out the world. No other organization in the

world have accomplished so much with so few...We can bring back Pony express to get the word out,

Jehovah gave instructions for Noah and the ark he will do the same for us to sail the seas.

Man, how did I stay in that organization for so long.

Saename: I understand, it does sound good but the hauling of water will be for a thousand years,

your neighbor will live miles away (8 million JW in the world). JW daughter made some

good points. Jane living with Tarzan in the jungle, no way in hell. It will be the same in Paradise

for women, they will be working their butts off.
