  Sexist article about construction

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/construction/women-in-construction/.

  it's all about women being trained to operate heavy equipment, like it's a miracle.

  they quote the male foreman, but don't tell you that only men are allowed to be foreman.

  "In Britain, less than 13 percent of construction workers are women."

  But at least those 13% got paid.

  The JW women involved in "theocratic" construction did not. This basically amounted to slave labor.

  If they don't become a JW, their new friends will quickly abandon them.

  What are the ramblings of David Koresh or Jim Jones worth?

  I'd say they should have the same going rate.

  Agreed. I do wonder if Ray Franz would have approved of putting himself on the cover.

  Funny News From My Old Congragation - Elder Fight!

  by pale.emperor in

  i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.

  a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.

  apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?

  Most elder bodies have feuds going on behind closed doors. Of course, it rarely results in an outright brawl.

  Can anyone name a single incident when bethel has fed the poor ever ?

  charity is lacking from the house of god.

  i remember reading once about some young pioneer sisters who needed emergency accommodation and where turn away from brooklyn because they weren’t special pioneers.

  charity begins at home..

  If they ever would, it would only be if Watchtower can benefit in some way, shape or form. Like a good PR. And even then, it would be the exception, not the rule.

  Hands down: Ray Franz

  And especially since he refused to be a "leader" of any sort, knowing what a slippery slope that was.

  Marriage Proposal in the Kingdom Hall

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just when you think you've seen it all comes another interesting use of a kingdom hall.a young man serenades his girlfriend with a song (possibly a watchtower song) from the stage through a microphone and backed by recorded music.

  then he steps off the stage and gets down on one knee and proposes as he pulls out a ring from his coat pocket.

  the large projector screen flashes up behind them with a picture of a sapphire and diamond ring.cameras capture the joyous moment as she accepts and they lock together in a loving hug.
