No more JW religious classes in schools!

by fair dinkim in

just heard from a friend whose husband is an elder that a letter was read to the congregation from wbts stating that effective immediately "no religious instruction by jws in schools" or words to that effect.

here in australia they are called "scripture classes" and most schools conduct these as part of the school curriculum.

usually a member of the cong is assigned to conduct the lesson with jw kids in local school.

Here in Australia they are called "scripture classes" and most schools conduct these as part of the school curriculum. Usually a member of the cong is assigned to conduct the lesson with JW kids in local school.(They get to count the time). The letter further stated that it is the parents responsibility to instruct their own children.

JW kids will now have to attend non-scripture classes for atheists. ha

Has anyone else heard about this? Can't help but wonder if there is some legal reason behind this or the WBTS moving to protect itself.

Elders teach "Don't raise your hat to a lady! - it's worldly."

by ozziepost in

back when i was a boy in the 1950s many men wore hats and so did my father.. one evening at the kh he was called in to the backroom by the elders for a 'meeting after the meeting',.

his crime?

he had been seen raising his hat when greeting women!!!!.

One day I was flicking through the JF Rutherford book "Vindication" this is what I found on page 156:

"The women make monkeys or dupes of men. The men have become effeminate,soft and easily influenced, and have lost their real manhood and sturdiness in the affairs of state and home. For instance, when men are sitting at a table and a woman approaches, all the men arise and pay her homage and thereby elevate her to a place over men.The men remove their hats upon entering an elevator, if a women is present; and these things are said to be acts of respect and to show that a man is a gentleman. But it is subtle, and the real meaning is much different from that. IT IS A SCHEME OF SATAN TO TURN MEN AWAY FROM GOD AND FROM HIS ANNOUNCED RULE OF THE PROPER POSITION OF MAN AND WOMAN."

This is the same man who came up with the "great crowd teaching", "the name Jehovahs Witnesses" "1914 beginning of last days" all still teachings of JWs.

I rest my case.
