Haven't read the wt yet, is it a rule or suggestion? No doubt now they attendants and elders and all involved will be on a watch out to see who breaks their ridiculous "guidance"? What, are we teenagers to be overly aroused at holding hands during prayers? What about a couple during their wedding, will they have to stand apart so it's clear to all they are not holding hands? Or worse yet a funeral during prayer will couples including those who may have lost a loved one not hold each other? Nit picking on EVERY aspect of an individuals life! Way to go Borg, keep showing just how juvenile you are in your thinking. Wife has vowed she's going to do it more "visibly" so there's a plus for me! ;D

You know how easy it would be to piss them off? I think I could have a lot of fun with this, lol

Nothing has changed since this all started. Elders hold their wives' hands during prayer. Sisters who are friends hold each others' hands. We hype a lot of this stuff up because we're mentally diseased here. Lol! -

Marital sex under the auspices of the Org must be the most boring and pathetic experiences possible.
I've heard some members say that it is pretty much reserved for Thursday nights only. And only after the ministry school and service meeting, using no hands, with all the lights turned off, and only in the missionary position.

The no holding hands during congregation prayer teaching has long been forgotten about. In fact it was forgotten about by most members only a few months after this WT was studied.

Pathetic micromanaging. 🤨 No wonder it died away as quickly as it emerged! 🙄

During a prayer 60 year old GB virgin Mark Anderson did a little peeking.This was during a warm outdoor summer convention. There in front of him was a young physically fit attactive couple.The sister had on a beautiful flowing sundress that complimented her shapely body. The husband was lovingly caressing and patting her lower back during the prayer.
This action and circumstance caused Mark to have unclean thoughts and later that night he rubbed one out. Feeling extreme guilt for this, he had the writing department include this new counsel in the Watchtower in order to keep the congregation clean.
Muslims are way ahead of JW's in keeping unclean thoughts out of men's minds.

There isn't a man alive that hasn't rubbed one out, including virgin Marky Mark and the governing body bunch, but I'm not including Jesus. I think I just made myself a little sick.
