Women and the Watchtower
by 67mustang inwhy are women in the watchtower society not allowed to give talks, pray in front of men and all the other crap that they keep them from doing?
i think this submission thing is out of control.

what my friend said about jw's
by raven101 ini told a friend just recently that i had been raised a jw.
she had a very interesting observation/opinion about the witness families and individuals she has known.. first i should say that she is an intelligent, well-travelled girl, with a very clear-eyed knack for cutting to the chase on a given subject.
she has a gift for not letting trivialities cloud an issue, and she was not raised in any religion.

What "SIN" do elders respond to fastest?
by Dismembered in.
maybe it's just me but, it seem like "elders" respond extremely quickly to "sexual misconduct" as long as it does not involve their own family members.
true or false?

Do Elders report these...?
by SpiceItUp ini was wondering with all the child abuse cases that dont get to the proper authorities...what about other crimes.. does anyone know if elders have been told to report other crimes to the police.. and does anyone have proof----i would be very interested in getting any kind of letters written to the elders from the wts.
im sure they have their "policies" out for public viewing but as we all know what those say and the letters to elders are two different things.. thanks.

i'm currently questioning a lot of things.
i do not want to be "preached at" by either side; that'll just make me leave.

Put these words into a sentence..LIFE,MESS,IS,MY,A
by kat7302 inhave you ever noticed how you seem to go from one mess to another?
without going into the details just yet....i have just spent the last 6 months getting my head together and getting back on my own two feet after leaving my husband and i have now managed to stop myself in my tracks and f**k up once again.
i dunno what to do.....im feeling pretty low and desperate at the moment and worst of all....lost.

JWs Are the Cleanest People on Earth
by comforter inone benefit that jws get from being jehovah's people is the knowledge of good hygiene.
before i came to be a witness, i did not think it was important to brush my teeth thoroughly or wash under my arms real good and use deodarant.
i also tended to be a pack rat with a messy car.

Figures don't lie, but liars can figure
by onacruse indidn't think my first thread would be about this, but all the conversation about how many jw abuse victims there could be really got me to thinking.
i fully agree with everyone here that this is a people and victims problem, not a numbers issue.
however, i was painfully surprised to see how the following statistics work out.. the us national child victimization rate for 2000 was 12.2 per 1,000.
