I once committed pornia on my baptism date of all days. Although it was an accidental touch of a covered breast whilst hugging a sister!

I am a big fan of pornia. I look forward to a productive discussion.

I remember elders in my hall discussing the intricacies of the word as if they were Biblical scholars learned in ancient Greek. Most of them didn't even have a high school diploma (seriously).

During my JC they quizzed me on how far I'd gone with my girlfriend in an effort to determine whether the conduct rose to the level of porneia. Did you touch her breasts? Did you kiss her bare breasts? What about her genitals, did you manipulate them? That kind of thing. I was 19 and my girlfriend was 17.

As a kid at the book study with the family book - I remember the older elder (german) conducting talking about how even anything but missionary was unnatural and wrong.

But its not a cult.

Yes, the JWs are very porny.

Oh neverendingjourney! That is so very inappropriate! How did we all not see it sooner...?

Such conduct by elders as they pry into personal details is so very wrong...and yet we all allowed ourselves to be under their control for so long...

Yes, everything about it was gross. Her parents were standing outside the back room when we were being interrogated. Normal people would be appalled, and rightfully so.

NEJ I hope you both(all) have been able to move on. What a hell of a thing to do. She was 17? Young people need support not persecution!

Porneia !
