I have never mentioned a word about matriarchial societies. I'm just pointing out that there is no basis for believing that the world wouldn't be screwed up if women were rulers. Throughout history women rulers have been oppressive, murderers, led nations in wars and genocide and cleansing a like the Spanish Inquisition.

If the world was different- A world ruled by women.
by fulltimestudent inthis 10 minute video follows a man and his problems as he attempts to deal with women in authority, much as a woman may experience in our own society.. maybe not a real stretch for the imagination.
there have been some matriachal soceities in history.

Wikipedia isn't the best source for history. Here is a better picture of the tyrant that Catherine the Great was.

Fact is, history is full of women rulers who were oppressive and warmongering.

Open a history book and you will see women at the forefront of wars and other atrocities such as the Spanish Inquisition.

Just Read 1.5 Hours worth of Conti Case Files
by lambsbottom inread 1.5 hours worth on conti case files (examination & cross-examination).
here is my take (and i consider myself a pretty logical person able to set aside emotion...i've never been abuse but know people who have been).. the jury was completely right in awarding the judgement to conti.
as far as the award amount, i don't care to comment on.

Probably 25 years ago now, my father was an elder when in the congregation, a late teen Witness molested a young one of about 5. Her and her family attended the congregation.
The victim's family was pushed to keep it quiet and let God's organization handle it. My father ended up making an anonymous call to the police about the details. The police came around to investigate and the molestor killed himself before any arrests were made.
Not a pretty situation at all.

The Christendom are talking about this, do you think the GB will use this to say that the end is coming?

If they do then they are no different than astrologers looking for signs in the sky.

Powerful and Damning Awake quote, and questions to help JWs think....
by BU2B injust thought of another question that could start someone waking up.
you could say something to the effect of, "i was thinking how if we were to come across a person in the ministry who asks us how luke 21:8 does not apply to jws in light of the comments such as the ones (quoted below) how could we respond?".
or you could say that someone at work or school presented you with the awake quote and said luke 21:8 proves jws false, then you could say you need help coming up with a response to him.. luke 21:8 .

I want to clarify that I firmly believe the GB are false prophets. Just that this particular use of Luke 21:8 will be easily dismissed by a JW. They will claim the GB never says they are Christ.

You can't break up scripture like that to fit your agenda. It is clearly about false Messiahs claiming to be Jesus. The scripture uses AND not OR.

OP, you are ignoring a critical part of the text at Luke 21:8. Jesus is talking about people proclaiming to be Christ.... "I am he", and not to follow those people.

I can't help but laugh at Stafford. He has become what Jehovah's Witnesses believe happens to those who fall into apostasy. He is trying to form his own cult.
