   ##  They don't have ANY!  I suggested back in the 80s that we do a clothing   
   drive for the Veterans at the Vet's Hosp in Murfreesboro here in TN.  Not   
   one stepped forward to help.  NOT ONE!  All I got were WT/GB/JW excuses.  I   
   guess they didn't want to set a example......   didn't want to get their   
   people's attention away for the WTS.

   ##  You got that right!  That's all they concentrate on, all they think   
   about.... it's DRUMMED into their heads in every WT magazine, every book,   
   every meeting they make (at least 4 a week and 2 hours on Sunday).  Never a   
   word of charity or volunteerism mentioned.

   ##  Jabbers makes that claim because I don't believe in the way the JWs   
   expect their women to behave.  They're expected to be quiet, obedient, meek,   
   subservient to men, in other words the opposite of today's liberated women.   
   Jabber's sees that as a threat to JW women who sometimes post here.  It   
   makes them THINK and WONDER.  That's highly discouraged in this sect/cult.   
   I have no reason to dislike men.

   ##  EXACTLY!  About 20 years in fact.  I'm so glad I never got baptized.   
   They knew I expected a fair wage from the WTS if I had to quit my job to   
   push their rags and books.  It was a sensitive issue so they stopped   
   bringing it up.

   ##  That's what I was wondering.  I can't see where they've changed much   
   since the "masturbation fiasco" of the mid 80s.  That's when I had had   
   enough of the whole scene and left them for good - several others left at   
   the same time.  :-)

   ## YES!!!!  And we've had a few people (one recently) tell me thanks for   
   OPENING their eyes to the real truth. One, a women... is now free of WTS   
   tyranny and self-righteous people like jabriol.  She does post here.

   ##  Right.  That's why so many of us STOPPED wasting hours of our time on   
   researching things that can be posted here or quoted.  No matter what it is,   
   it's rejected - just like PB's long post including may of Jabriol's sick   
   posts.  Several people achieved his posts as proof of what he is and what   
   he's like.  Nothing satisfies a thought-controlled JW.  Nothing!
