its more like the other way around, guys are out to USE all the girls they can. at least in the world.
It's impossible and unreasonable to make that broad of a generalization. You have had a bad experience. However, I am sure there are guys who have had bad experiences with girls. These individuals ...
i think statistically though, guys in the world use girls in the world, more then vice versa...guys are more driven, and girls have a lot more to lose...but of course it happens both ways
I wouldn't say guys are more driven. And I think girls convince themselves that they have more to lose. Just because guys don't exhibit feelings the same way girls do doesn't mean they feel less. ...
Guys may not feel less, but I think most guys handle emotional pressure better than most girls do.
I don't know if "handle...better" is the best way to phrase that. I think it's more ignore it. Girls handle emotional pressure in a very good way- they talk with their girl friends. This is healthi...
I don't know if you understand what I mean. Under severe emotional pressure anyone will buckle, but what I'm talking about is more the amount of pressure needed to get a person to that point. It ...
No no..you said it takes less to make a girl upset. I'm saying that I don't think there is a difference in the amount it takes to get either gender upset but the difference lies in the way and when...
I remember the scripture that states that the head of the woman is the man... used to INFURIATE ME. And then that day in pioneer school when we spent half the day discussing the headship principle... it was amazing and changed my view on a lot of things. I came out of that thinking, that women are precious in God's eyes just like an expensive heirloom vase (or something similar) would be precious to a person. I loved it when the brother said, that the woman is a "weaker vessel" as in, a beautiful delicate vase, wherein the man is like a metal bucket you can kick around and stuff. It doesn't mean that the woman is actually weaker in any sense. She just needs to be taken care of differently than the man. When the man and woman understand the headship principle it makes a beautiful pair that perfectly complements each other. It's amazing.
Why would it infuriate you? I'm absolutely dreading the fact that if I ever get married or ever have responsibility in the congregation that I'll be someone's head. It's just an incredibly scary thought. I always thought it was incredibly loving on Jehovah's part not to have women have to deal with that.
Well when I was younger, like 17-19 I was all big into feminist issues and all that kinda stuff. I was kinda rebellious in a sense that I thought I would never let any man tell me what to do. Of course my view of that whole thing was very distorted, and I've matured A LOT since then, and while I still feel strongly about women's issues and think women deserve a lot more respect than they get in this world.. it's not my fight, and women in the truth most of the time ARE respected by fellow brothers and sisters and treated like they should be. Worldly men are a whole diffrent story.
i think a lot of girls feel this way...and one of the things that matures them is falling in love...its natural for women to be in subjection...so i think it naturally comes along with be in love.
I know I definetly did. At first it's just the thought of having someone have power over you I think, but that's not really the idea behind headship. Subjection doesn't have to mean powerless, and I think not everyone understands that.
i agree w/ that..but i've never felt that way. the headship arangment never bothered me...it was always kinda comforting i felt.
and as far as why men are elders and such..i do think it has to do w/ because they are less emotional. because when they have to decide to have someone DFed or reproved or something..i think they will be able to think more clearly and base it on principles rather than emotions.
Yeah..with sisters doing it they'd be like "aww..but..." and nothing would ever get done most likely.
Women deserve a lot more respect. And as far as guys who mistreat women... Well, my dad likes to say that they deserve "two bricks and a rusty knife".
What's that mean?
You really can't figure it out? The bricks are for smashing something (actually a couple of things) and the knife is for cutting something off.
Whoah! I don't think cutting their "winkie" off is really gonna solve the problem. Hmm..or maybe it will.
where? ;) I kno where the Mepham football team would put em.
i think that from a worldy standpoint that scripture would be almost offensive, but like you guys have said that's because worldly people don't follow godly principles. the way the marital and family arrangement works best Jehovah's way
