The thing is that unless sex ed is being taught in schools, the average jw wouldn't know a lot about contraception. This is a major problem for us teenagers stuck in "the bloom of youth". Everyone having sex without knowing how to stop all the downsides that the wts talk about. (which funnily enough is all they talk about)

Premarital sex--how prevalent?
by wafflesandpancakes inin my old congregation, everyone seems clean.
mostly chaste courtship, kingdom hall wedding, blah blah.. well there are lots of cases of fondling but they were soon forgotton.
when my husband and i confessed to sex before marriage, the elders were disgusted.

Same sex marriage legalised in the UK at midnight tonight!!!
by DuvanMuvan intitle pretty much explains it all.
lots of people are getting married at midnight tonight.. what do you guys think?
maybe if anyone gets called on by a jw this weekend you can ask them what they think about it.. im just glad because it shows that religion doesn't define our conscience, that basic human decency can prevail over time and hopefully, these types of gradual but big changes will be present in the wts too in the future .

I'm sure all his gay friends love that one
kinda weird how you keep bringing that up. Sort of like when someone in denial about being gay says stuff like "I'm not gay, I have a girlfriend" or "I've had sex with a girl so I'm not gay" or the classic "I've got a wife and X children". The fact that you feel the need to prove yourself so much just makes it seem as if you don't believe it yourself

Need advice, really wanna play COD
by DuvanMuvan inwell my ps3 is downstairs because i had no idea how good games looked on tvs that weren't older than you are and i've run into a problem.
my mum doesn't know that i have "bad" games like cod, gta 5, legend of zelda and final fantasy (yeah ik last two aren't that bad but loads of religious stuff and magic) and it's getting harder to keep it a secret.. i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i should go about this.
should i just wait a while and slowly introduce the idea to my mum that i play these games or should i just come out and play them and act like it'a nothing?.

Well cookiemonster by worldy standards I'm pretty much one of the "unlucky" people my age with a parent or parents that doesn't let them play violent games. You ever played gta online? You need to turn the volume down or be forced to listen to a bunch of 8 year olds screaming into their headsets

Does anyone remember the excuse they used in 1979-1980
by Crazyguy inback in 79-80 they came out with another wt stating quite clearly that jesus was not the mediator for most jw's and of course this upset quite a few and some asked "if jesus is not my mediator then how does god hear my prayers?
' does anyone remember what they said to answer this question?.

Wait wait what. Jam is that still true today? Ever since I started going to the kh about 7/8 years ago they've always prayed in Jesus' name

Once again pregnancy and conception, little to nothing to do with marriage.
I always thought two people got married because they loved each other and not because they were biologically capable of making babies. Was I mistaken?

bigmac you do know you just described a civil union right? Those have been around for a while now. The problem is that by having to place a special label on same sex marriage to "uphold tradition" you're still just saying that the two types of marriage aren't equal.
Then you bring family into it which, nowadays at least, have little to do with marriage. You can have children without being married and vice versa. Also there's this thing called adoption that some people like to try when, for whatever reason, they can't have children naturally. I seriously hope you're not saying gay people shouldn't get married because they can't have children naturally.
The problem with traditions is that people sometimes just blindly follow them. What practical function does having only traditional marriage serve society today that will disappear now that same sex marriage is legal?

To the second thing you said, it's not that hard. If they're a man, they're the husband, if they're a woman, they're the wife. you seem to be assuming that there HAS to be a "wife" or it isn't a marriage.
Marriage definition:
1. the formal union of a man and a woman two people, typically as recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife. spouses.
was that really so difficult?

bigmac that's my 2nd least favourite reason for someone to be against gay marriage. Tradition. Basically the idea that we shouldn't try something new because that's not how people did it before and they felt no need to change it.
I think it's pretty flawed reasoning. Just to illustrate:
*just after marriage was invented*
Person A (gay person wanting to get married): Hey I'm about to marry this man
Person B: Nope, can't do that.
Person A: why not?
Person B: Marriage should be between a man and a woman. God said so and Bob is writing it down somewhere so people don't forget it.
Person A: Yeah bu-
Person B: No same sex marriage. End of.
*present day*
Person A: hey we appreciate the sentiment behind the whole "civil union" thing but it still doesn't feel like we're being treated equally
Person B: yeah well to allow gays to get married would mean that the meaning of the word would be changed
Person A: So? Meanings of words change all the time.
Person B: well that would go against tradition.
