1. How would you feel if you were disfellowshipped for divorcing a mate, only for the teaching to later change so that you would no longer be disfellowshipped?
Except that you would still be disfellowshipped because you didn't obey the organization at the time, and in order to get reinstated, you would have to repent of doing something that is not now prohibited, so if you did it now, you wouldn't have to repent but because you did it then, you need to repent...
HUH??

Theocratic Sedition
and what really is the scriptural basis for all this?...
Matthew 24:45

Ah, I believe that's Matthew JustShutUp:AndObey. This subject pisses me off, and I'm not even married. What Pharisees.
A careful further weighing of this matter, however, convinces us that, in view of the absence of clear Scriptural instruction
I think this speaks for itself.

It's ridiculous that they stick their noses into people's private lives like this. And JW accept it. I know it's a cult, but still.
The bible was written in a time when bestiality might have been common (sheepherders!!!) no women around, but, really....who's ever heard of anyone committing beastiality today? I haven't, I may be sheltered, but if I was married to someone who committed bestiality, well, how could I stay married to them?
How could anyone expect you to be?
how could you lump in bestiality with oral/anal? Did someone in the WTBTS have a comprehensive list of all the stuff you can & can't do sexually?
I think if you grow up listening to this sh!t it does a huge amount of harm.
I agree it should NOT be discussed from the platform.
its another example of rule makers blithely issuing edicts without any real care for people.

Hilarious. Maybe if The Rock were on the Governing Body, we'd get more statements like this from the platform. "So, brother, why don't you turn to this verse with me," [licks his finger and flips pages in Bible] "...It's found in Matthew chapter KNOW YOUR ROLE, and verse number SHUT YOUR MOUTH! Eh-eh! Did you read it? Thought so!"
So truly, nothing is sacred. If you have the wrong kind of sex with your mate, even that's considered grounds for divorce. That's actually worse than the IVF = fornication thing of more modern times. Of course, the other problem is, are they saying that the 'debauching sex' was had without one mate's consent? If so, wouldn't that be a matter of rape? If so, does that mean the wife had to scream or else she can be charged with 'fornication' as well?? Just gets more and more bizarre...

I remember that extremely explicit 1974 talk. I was 15, sitting in the front row, and wishing I could sink through the floor.
