You are no longer qualified to carry microphones!

Sexist article about construction

by neat blue dog in

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.

The Watchtower's standards on "spiritual" qualifications are so high, that it does create a shortage of "qualified" men to have privileges. For instance, it is more likely for a JW man to give into looking at a little online nudity, and thus fail to even carry a microphone, much less qualify for anything weighter.

"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.

Congrats on waking up in time and seeing the warning signs.

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.

charity begins at home..
