Just reflecting on how oblivious I was to WT
by joe134cd ini’m just sitting by the beach and i was thinking at just how oblivious i was to the religion that i followed.
i have mentioned this in past posts and am using this experience as an example not so much to demonstrate what happened but more of my reaction to it:.

"The Branch did not approve of us to get a video security system"
by James Jack inthis was the reply i was given by our coordinator at our recent kingdom hall security meeting.. he explained that they aren't allowed to buy any appliances or do any changes to the kingdom hall without branch approval.
"we put in our letter that a video security system could be purchased for around $600 locally and an app could be downloaded for the attendants to monitor the cameras what's going onoutside.
" they said;" such a system would not be needed in our area of the country, if standard protocols of security are followed as outline by the branch.

Treatment of families
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara inhas anyone experienced that family members of the general flock and those of the elders were treated differently, unfairly, or just put on a pedestal just coz they were elders kids?
where i grew up ,elders kids used to steal from their dads wallet right in fron t of us , and say to us that " if you say anything no one will believe you, i am the elders son".this went on from bad to worse , he grew up a constant liar, wore earrings to college and questionable association and clothes, involved in all things worldly.
.i know this coz he had a worldy friend who lived next door to me.this neighbors house was his go to for a double standard life style.

A few women that have made an impact in Christendoms religions in the last 200 years ,none of which are Jehovah`s Witnesses .
by smiddy3 inaimee semple mcpherson founder of the four square church.. catherine booth co-founder of the salvation army.. ellen g.white co-founder of the seventh day adventists.
mary baker eddy founded christian science.. florence crawford founder apostolic faith mission .
this is just a few of the movements where christian women had a very important role in getting them off the ground and were accepted by males as having gods approval.. and it is not without biblical precedence judges ch.4 & 5 that relates about deborah who was a prophetess and judge over israel for fourty years with jehovah`s approval and blessing of peace he gave her during her reign .. how do these facts fit with women in the jw religion ?
