Homosexualtiy and morality
by milligal indid you ever wonder why 'men of god' were allowed to have concubines and use prostitutes in the old testament,and being told by your jw elder or study conductor something like: 'god's will was to fill the earth, so he allowed men to have more than one wife or concubine to fulfill his purpose...' ?.
then by this same reasoning why would god have a problem with homosexuality at this point in time-the earth has been filled, in fact it's almost too full in some areas.
so doesn't homosexuality now make sense....consistently speaking?

Cussing, swearing, & flippin' the bird....coping techniques?
by Lady Zombie insince my strategy for flying under the radar is to put some face time in at meetings, i found it neccessary to develop coping techniques so the top of my skull doesn't fly off from the insanity that is the jws.. profanity is one of my favorites.. if the bullshit factor gets to the point during the meeting where i begin to feel like barfing (happens a lot), i slip off to the ladies loo and lock myself in a stall.
since no one can see me, i'll sit on the toilet and flip the bird at the ceiling and the cackling jw hens that come into the bathroom.. when the final 'amen' is sounded, i scoop up my purse and books and rocket out the door.
once in my car and with engine started and radio going, i start cussing.

Dogs on the bed yes no?
by restrangled inthis is a lighter topic.. how do you feel about your dogs on the bed?
forbid it?.
my boys are allowed on the bed all day but at night we say "down to the crate" the crate happens to be a very expensive leather couch with many pillows.. they listen to what ever we say, but the human bed seems to be the best place.. i change the sheets every other day.....can't stand the itchy, scrachties!.

by heyfea in(i don't know if i posted this already, since i got errors every time i tried) .
do you think that a lot of engaged jws have sex before getting married?
i think so, only a few fall into the guilt trip after they're married, and ultimately confess.
