How known child abusers are dealt with in other organizations.
by JWdaughter ini was recently reading of the dunblane school massacres (scotland) and the perpetrator was one who was 'suspected' of child abuse.
he was reported to police and after the revelations that the scout organization knew of him, he was "blacklisted".
later, in another area, he tried to become a leader again-and his blacklisting held and he was not allowed.. anyway, the guy was a creep and eventually a murderer.

For Bible believers-Inspired Bible?
by JWdaughter inone issue i have with declaring the bible an entirely inspired work from god is the bit in the ot about killing girls who were "proven"to not be virgins on their wedding night-by stoning them.
the absence of blood on the sheet or cloak was considered entirely valid proof that they were immoral and so they were to be stoned.. that is scientifically invalid.
not all girls bleed when they lose their virginity-in fact, the more skilled the partner, the less likely that they will bleed at all.

Mom
by JWdaughter inso, i'm visiting mom and had a great drive with her today in the mountains.
it was gorgeous and a good day overall.. i asked her a little advice about a issue i am having in my marriage/business about going beyond my comfort zone.
i am trying to figure out what is reasonable for my husband toask of me socially when it is totally out of my comfort zone and i discussed that i didn't want to be close minded and stubborn just because i am squirming a bit at what he is asking (nothing actually wrong, bad or anything like that, just not natural for me).

Life in Pakistan
by JWdaughter ini live in texas, houston, and pakistan is not a shock to me since i have lived and travelled abroad, but i thought i would share some of the things i have noticed with you.. no one has microwaves.. their toilets are very modern flush toilets-flush with the floor.. the showers well, no stall, no tubs.
just a big room with a toilet and a sink and a shower faucet.. the electricity goes off at regular intervals during the day.
would not freak me out so much if we had any windows in this house!

Women in the WT world - International Womens Day
by JWdaughter inso, reading the articles about outstanding women in religion who are notable during this international day of women i noticed that among the episcolpalians, the catholics, muslims, buddhists, wiccans, mormons and bahais (and other random religous leaders that happen to be female) there is not one jw woman mentioned as holding a significant position.
do you think any of them will look at the list(s) and wonder?
while barbara anderson is significant in a ministry regarding the wt, she is not listed, nor is she a jw.
