Sexless marriages
by Mickey mouse ini've heard of a fair few sexless marriages in the borg, probably something to do with the fact that if you're raised "in" you'll have a pretty skewed view of sex by the time you finally get to do it.
so if someone is trapped in a sexless marriage, from a jw standpoint they could get an unscriptural divorce...but...that doesn't leave them free to remarry??!
seems pretty sadistic really.

So why ARE women allowed to speak at congregation meetings?
by easyreader1970 inthe apostle paul said that women should be silent in congregation meetings and not flap their traps.
if they need to talk about something, they can talk about it with their husband when they get home.
so why does the wbts pick and choose which verses they apply and which they do not?

MY THEORY OF ECONOMICS/present situaion
by badboy inwhere the `masters of he universe' went wrong, is they dressed up complex financial instruments(ie sub-prime mortages) as great things to invest in.. it appears that they may have violated a economic law, namely they were not producing any product or service.. if everyone were dealing in dirvaives ,socks or shares etc with the idea that is how to make your money,but not producting any goods etc, you wouldn't have any people making wealth from goods and services.. greed can also bring down an economy.. perhaps someone should have helped these sub-prime morttagees by training them for high quality jobs, making it less likely that they would default... .

What's Your View of "Friends"? Are They "Real"???
by minimus inthe older i get, the more i see that most "friends" are not "real friends".
i can count on 1 hand who i consider friends.
i have many enjoyable aquaintances that i socialize with but i doubt they'd really be "there" for you.

Aren't we as a group smart enough to bring the whole thing down?"
by BonaFide ini realize that i was stuck believing in jw almost all my life.
and that each person has to see the light for themselves.. but it was partly the hypocrisy, partly the internet, partly my brother, ex-jw, and partly thinking on my own that did it.. there are smart enough people on the board, is there anything we can do to bring the whole jw thing down?.
there must me some way, some thing, we can do.
