  Lunatic Faith

  On the subject of porn: When my hubby and I were married I was a 29 year old virgin whose only knowledge of sex came from my Cosmo subscription (that's not exactly reality). Figuring out how to make sex work was frustrating to say the least. We decided to pick up a porn video for our own personal use (Jenna Jamison, Asia Carrera and pirates). My hubbies friend, an elder, was talking about porn and we admitted we had a video. He told us we could get DF'd for having it so we destroyed the video.

  Not too long afterward I am talking to the elders wife and she is complaining that their satellite has been cancelled. I ask why. She says her hubby sat up one night and ran up a two hundred dollar bill on porn pay-per-view. What a freakin' hypocrite!

  That is amazing the elders wife would say that to you she must have been very frustrated in more ways then one with her husband.

  Maybe that is why the GB are harping on this so much because their leader have a HUGE problem with it.

  OK it that is the case then they need to be cleaning house a little better would you not think instead of putting it in the WT and hoping the elders who are doing this might get the point, GET RID OF THE ELDERS viewing PORN!!!!!!

  If these elders who are spirit appointed men need to be told all the time to knock off porn then the spirit is not working so well.

  No wonder when I went to the elders about the three child molesters in the hall they all sided with the child abusers over me. I know one of the child molesters loved to hang at a pron shop he told my husband and another elder that and nothing was thought of it. I was under the impression they were happy he was getting off on adult woman instead of little girls.

  It Bethel is truly reading this sight get a clue and take care of the problem instead of putting it in a WT every other month. Get rid of the men the elders that are viewing pron, take them out of oversight of God's Jehovah's little sheep.

  It just boggles my mind that this is happening but must be to have a WT like this.

  I'm starting to think a "Girls of JWN" pin-up calendar is in order.

  I've suggested this many times. Or a swimsuit edition of the Watchtower or Awake. Or a "Girls Gone Wild" video featuring only JW women.

  I agree, I am sure that many people in the KH view Porn and do not saying anything about it.Many elders are constantly telling young people how looking at Pornography is bad. when in fact I am sure many do it in secret.True hyprocrites and liars.

  Footnote to article:

  " If you are sinlge and living alone and have the occasional need to use a computer (to download the WT study editions, for instance) then don't hesitate to ask the help of a spiritual older man and his family to assist you in going to the Internet. They may even allow you to use their home computer...but you'll have to be patient. Dial up connections can try your patience."

  You mean to tell me that a grown ass man, or woman who lives alone, should seek to be chaperoned when it comes to the internet !!!!!!!

  You mean to tell me that a grown ass man, or woman who lives alone, is treadin' dangerous waters, banking or payin' bills online !!!!!!!!!

  And by the way I thought dial-up was dead !!!!!!!! Good Gawd

  Yeah, call me slow but I finally get it.

  The study wt associates the internet with porn as a scare tactic. Even then they won't be up-front and suggest doing without, but indicate it with that sleazy assertion that "some" choose not to have the internet at home.

  The context suggests that those who do are weak in faith and very likely surfing porn. So a believer must now be suspicious if a partner or teenager insists in having internet available. A lot of family arguments and angst follow, courtesy of the wt.

  HOW DARE THEY manipulate people this way???

  Whether intentionally or not, he might chance upon sexually stimulating scenes

  Oh the humanity!!!!

  Uh, have no fear Crooklyn----there have been horny old sexually stimulated men in the congregations long before the internet was around. That creepy PO who had the hots for me when I was a teenager and he was a million years old......Another elder who never um, looked you in the eye when he was talking to you. I remember getting spoken to by two of the local gestapo because I had been out alone (gasp!) with my best friend (at the time) who happened to be a guy. We must have been committing fornication right? No such thing as a platonic relationship..........I always dressed modestly as a Dub so they couldn't bitch about what I wore, although I was once 'cautioned' about a grey knit dress I wore to the meeting. 'Too tight' I was told (which it wasn't).

  This article has little to do with porn. They're far more worried about the average Witness stumbling cross sites like this, or FreeMinds or jwfact.com rather than inadvertedly seeing a pair of breasts.

  Here's a present for anyone from Crooklyn monitoring this site. No nudity but some might find it 'stimulating':
