Do you want to know how sad I really am. Becuase I have every pop album ever released on one of my computers, I just put on "The Crying Game" by Culture Club. It really added a bit of realism to my drama...
I found this VERY offensive. What about you?

I was reminded of the "cows" quote too...but this one stands on its own as a howler cause not only do they try to justify the "weaker vessel" description as inoffensive, and not only do they actually describe women as "delicate" and "fragile" (they should meet some women I know), but they friggin compare women to a friggen inanimate object sold at a friggen auction! I wonder if these guys have ever learned how to flatter a woman? They remind me of some dork who thinks he's saying something flattering to a girl he wants to pick up but gets a glass of wine poured into his face....

I don't find it as offensive as what they do with perpetrators or victims of child abuse, but yes it's a barf.

What skully said! - The Watchtower was born in mysogyny and cannot ever change. Ironically, CT Russell's inherited fortune was made on the aching backs of female textile workers.

What the article is "really" saying is that the writer aint gettin any and he is skewering his wife with a WT statement. He can then go back home and highlight an interesting article he read in the latest WT [doesn't tell her he wrote it] and says "see what the faithful slave is telling us?" and she has to roll over!!

w61 12/15 pp. 767-768 Questions from Readers *** • How can girls guard against temptation in this sex-crazy world?When a girl reaches the age of puberty or physical maturity, her body has developed in the matter of sex more than in the mind. Young folks like to be together, first in groups, later in twos. If they have not been instructed by their parents in regard to the matter of sex, a boy and a girl are likely to become too familiar and to engage in what is popularly called petting or necking. They may practice this for a time and see no bad results. However, the time will come when there will be great danger in such actions. Why? In answer to this question, we can learn about nature and sex from the bovine family of mammals, both wild and tame.
Large herds of cattle, both male and female, wander over the plains feeding. Ordinarily the male or bull would not think of approaching the female or cow for sex purposes. If he did approach he would not receive a hearty welcome, but, rather, he might be gored by the cow’s horns. There is no petting or sex relations between bull and cow permitted, because the female is not in physical condition to breed. The bull seems to understand this and keeps in his own place. However, when the female of the species is in condition to breed, she makes the matter known. If there is no male in the herd, she will go elsewhere looking for one and she is unsettled until she finds one and then is bred by him. Now she is contented, and the end result is a calf. In this connection it is interesting to note that the male animal has no season at which he is not willing to engage in the breeding act.
If we humans would take a lesson from these creatures, we would learn something of importance in matters of sex, as to its purpose and the results of its operation.
As with a cow, when a young girl who has reached her puberty is in physical condition to conceive and become pregnant, her sex emotions are greatly aroused. If she has association with a boy, she is inclined to think that it is the sweetness of the "boy friend" that causes this delightful and new feeling, and so she becomes infatuated with him. If the boy friend should become sexually aroused and lets her know it and then she yields her body to the advances of the amorous boy friend, she is likely to become pregnant as a result of just one sex experience of this kind.
Some persons foolishly think that they know when it is "safe" to have sex contact with those of the opposite sex and thus avoid becoming pregnant, but this is a serious mistake on their part. Even learned biologists do not know exactly when there is no danger of conception for a woman. This is due to certain irregularities in the case of various females.
When the ovum, that is, the egg cell from which the baby starts, is at large or is on its way from the woman’s ovary through her Fallopian tube to the uterus, there it remains for an uncertain length of time, which varies greatly with different females. Then is the time when conception can take place if the ovum is met by a male life sperm. During that same time the female is sexually aroused and is ready for the sex act that at this time will cause a baby to result. This bearing of children is the sole privilege of the female. In fact, this is one main reason for creating the female of the human species.
There are cases where a girl became pregnant as a result of one sex interview with a boy. What a price for a girl, a virgin, to pay for a few minutes of satisfied sex emotions! When persons start in this dangerous and sinful course, they find it hard to overcome future temptations. When a young, unmarried girl falls to the temptation, the price she pays is terrible: shame, sorrow, a ruined reputation, endless troubles, with the danger of being disfellowshiped from a congregation if the girl is a dedicated member. It is high time for girls to understand the make-up of their bodies and its functions, especially with regard to sex. Then if a girl understandingly takes care of herself while the ovum is at large and is causing sex disturbance and cravings within her, she will be able to act like a true lady of irreproachable morals at all times. She will avoid the violating of her virginity and the shame and conscience-stricken state due to this; and wisely she will direct her young life so as to end up in the position of a clean, happy wife and mother of legitimate children, journeying to the new world of righteousness, where there will be no sex problems amid a sex-crazy population.

I can vividly remember trying to convince myself that the talks and articles about women being weaker vessels weren't offensive. They've tried to turn the weaker thing into a compliment, but I still found it pretty sour. Weak doesn't mean weak, ladies, it means delicate, it means precious, it means valuable, it means fragile like a Ming vase or a rare orchid. Lalalalala...pppphhhttttt! But no matter how the complimentary comparisions flow ( and at least that's better than that insane cow stuff), the bottom line from the WTS is that women are less than men.

And, in this day and age, it still dumbfounds me that the vast majority of people (approximately 67% according to American statistics, as I recall) who reported that they were JWs were female.
What is it, exactly, in this obviously mysogynistic belief system, that compels women to join or remain JWs? I've never understood that... even well before I was ready to quit the JWs all together, I was what some Elders™ might have thought to be treading too close for comfort in the Jezebel zone - and in fact tore a strip up one side and down the other on Mr Scully when he parrotted some disgustingly chauvinistic crap about me 'needing to be more organized' in order to get myself and three children ready for the Sunday Meeting™, cook a proper Sunday breakfast and clean the kitchen, when all he could be bothered to do was get in the shower, get dressed and roll his butt down the stairs to eat, and have the NERVE to complain about us leaving later than he wanted to leave. I made him stop the car, ripped him a new one, and said my daughters were NOT going to be exposed to that kind of chauvinistic garbage again. I told him that if he didn't turn the car around and take me home THAT INSTANT, that there would be FREAKING HELL TO PAY.
I don't think I've ever seen him more terrified in the 20 odd years we've been married. heh heh heh
Needless to say, we skipped the Meeting™ that Sunday.... and thus began a blip of rebellion that grew into a full blown case of Jezebel Influenced™ Apostasy™.
