Here is what I think. I read Elaine Pagels The Gospel of Thomas. I truly believe Jesus did come to fulfill the old covenant and make one anew. He hung out with women and they sat at the table with them. The deciples had problems with each other and more with the women. When Jesus died, Paul, who had never meant Jesus hijacked Jesus message and changes bringing back the old patriarchal Jewish teachings he believed in. Paul had position and respect in the Roman community and could recite scriptures at will being an educated man. It was easy to walk over the scattered scared followers who could easily return to the subjection of woman....if only to assuage their battered egos.

The women that abandon “The Good News” are a large army
by Aimee.Padilla into be born a woman is a great disadvantage in many parts of the world and much more if she is part of a destructive sect like the jehovah’s witnesses where she is submitted to the “theocratic order” being the base that sustains the corporate pyramid, displaying submission at all times before male authority.
those of us that have been part of this cult can verify that the woman has to carry out a series of practices that for the rest of society is somewhat incomprehensible.
i’d like to draw your attention to the act of head covering, if for any reason a woman has to pray in public while a male is present, who is not available to lead the prayer, she must cover her head because she wouldn’t be respecting the arrangement of authority if she didn’t.

I’m not terrified but I am staying home. Vigilant about the mask, washing hand and wearing gloves. Only go to the store when I have to. I really don’t want to suffer from this and then suffocate. I think the virus will end the JWs. Without constant brain washing at the meetings and assemblies they will drift.

There is that “thing” about who knows what. If a young sister got pregnant she would be disfellowshipped because it became obvious however, the young brother wasn’t if no one knew it was him. Maybe he would get a private disapline. I always thought that wasn’t right.
It just is incredulous to me that a brother could rape/molest a child and nothing will happen to him yet the child would be messed up for life. Amazing. And they thought that was Gods will.

Well. I guess I wasn’t paying attention or I just never connected it to child rape. I understood it as applied to other things. I’m also thinking crime vs sin. I’m sure it must have been going on but was kept very quiet. That rape/molestation being a sin and not a crime. As a sin....it is just missing the mark...a natural human failing of imperfection. That’s pretty outrageous. It is in keeping with patriarchal thinking. So, it’s been applied since the 50s? So would that be Knor or b4. When did they start making the so called “elder” training. Have there always been secret teachings like for the congregation overseers? It boggles the mind that the parents of a child victim would put up with that.
