30Would Blondie or Mary ever make it as Elders in your old Congregation?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwe know the wts will never except woman as elders.in the last year as a member of jwd,i have learned more from blondie and mary than any elder in my congregation.all the elders in my congregation look like they go thru the motions.they are more like policy enforcers than teachers.. do you think that by excepting woman, some men would be embarassed to how little they know?
does the wts know some woman would better teachers?
is it more like a men's club?

I'm amazed your mom listened. Never ceases to surprise me the difference from one JW family to the next. In our house we couldn't (well, I couldn't) listen to music with words unless someone recorded it sometime in the 40s. hehe. My folks vetted Phil Collins before they let my brother listen to it. Never helped that my mom could rarely understand sung words, so always assumed they were singing something vile... (not to make light of your story, but it did crack me up thinking of the expression on mom's face if I handed her a cd with Perfect Circle on it and suggested she listen to it. :) )

Can't stand her myself, but my husband bought her cookbook and is now teaching himself how to cook, and damn if some of those recipes aren't pretty good. So I suppose I can't complain too much.

Bluetooth Headsets: Geeky or Sexy?
by Elsewhere inas a programmer i am exposed to high technology all the time and ironically this has given me an odd aversion to it!
i like gadgets and gizmos like anyone else; however i demand it be discrete.
when i'm out-n-about i want to be connected, but at the same time i don't want anyone to be able to see it.. for years i have avoided the bluetooth headsets that appear to be gaining in popularity, however im still not quite ready to get one because of the obvious geek factor and the simple fact that many people who wear them appear to be making the "look at me, i've fancy" statement.

I use one from plantronics, and I think it makes me look like a dork, with its stupid little flashing light. But it is better for my neck than holding the phone up all the time, I can take notes while I;m talking without trying to juggle stuff, and if I'm sitting in traffic I can answer calls with both hand still on the wheel by setting to auto-answer. So I guess I'll put up with the stupid blinky light.

Dead Like Me. two seasons then yanked- a total tragedy, it was smart and funny and dark.
I LOVE Boston Legal. And bonus, it's network, so I can see it when it airs instead of waiting for the DVDs to be released.

Two dogs, cats running for cover, me in my slippers most likely, and two aquariums. Dog toys, mostly stuffed animals EVERYWHERE. The masses of books are hidden in the office-room. If you saw that you'd laugh because it looks like NASA in there with all the computers, monitors, floor to ceiling bookcases, banker's boxes, and another aquarium. hehe.

Sexual Predators/Opportunists on JWD
by onacruse indo you think there are any?.
how would you "know" them if they were predators?.
if you were suspicious, what would you do to protect yourself?.

As long as we are differentiating between the two. And opportunist is NOT in the same league as a sexual predator. I think there are MANY opportunists on here, and why not? If a poster is making him/herself available, why shouldn't someone take the opportunity?
A sexual predator is entirely different, and I believe it is possible we have had a couple on here. In a community this size, it's unlikely that there are no predators, criminals, felons, rapists, molestors, etc.

Knew an elder who was raping his kids... well, at least he was still an elder until one of his kids went to the police and he got arrested...
