Womens Right`s are they Wrong?
by dido inwomen today fight for `women`s right`s` but are they doing women any favours?
as far as i can see, they have just made it harder for them.
now they are expected to have the kids, work full time, clean house, cook, babysit, taxi drive, nurse, etc., i think they have done us a disservice, by trying to be `equal` to men in the workplace.

Disfellowshipping in America- more commonplace
by dido inwhen i was in the states, texas to be accurate, i attended some congs and got to speak to a few people, and i couldn`t believe how many times individuals were d/f, sometimes 3 or 4 times, and they were also married the same times as well, in the so called `truth`.
i did feel that it made a mockery of the `truth` as in england, most people are only d/f once, very rarily twice or more.
i know america is more advanced in many areas, good things and bad, but i was shocked at the ratio out there.

Do you think there's something to the "One flesh" bond for couples?
by Wasanelder Once indo you agree that there is a special bond that exists between couples who are intimate, committed and in love?
of course this would be "married" to witnoids, but what of two people in love and who are intimate and not committed?
is this perhaps part of the rationale for the "fornication" prohibition, to avoid this bond developing between noncommitted individuals and thus preventing the hurt that comes from a split?

Intellectual bullies- have you come across them?
by dido ini recently posted on a thread and couldn`t believe the amount of intellectual bullies on there.
i was a jw for 25 years, left school 35 years ago and they expected me to know all the info on evolution, and because i didn`t i`m `stupid`.
i prefer to believe in creation, but it is obviously too simple an explanation for them.
