  Sex and Marriage

  by nicolaou in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  most religions indoctrinate a standard sexual 'morality' into their followers.

  sex before marriage is wrong, gay sex is wrong, same sex marriage is wrong, masturbation is wrong.. let's not turn this into another religion bashing thread (too easy), i was wondering how much of that pre-packaged thinking you still hold to?.

  i still value marriage, more than ever.

  I still believe in the sanctity of marriage. With that stated I believe that adultery is far worse than formication.

  i guess being two months old and coming to the kh in his onesee was kind of offensive .

  how rude of me.

  i am thinking about returning to him.

  I think whether it's inappropriate or not depends on the relationship this elder has with your family doesn't it?

  What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

  there were many addressed to me.

  for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

  i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

  Once got pulled in the back room by two elders. Why? I hadn't voted on the C.O.'s expense reimbursement.

  How many teens stay because they have their eye on someone they hope to marry?

  i was just watching a documentary film about the amish.

  this one girl who left said she didn't leave until her early twenties because as a teen until then she had her eye on one of the boys in the church.

  she had a crush on him and hoped to marry him.

  Looking at the pics of Warwick... I'm chocked.

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  i am truly chocked and baffled by the number of volunteers they got for this project; especially in the states.

  looking at one of their articles on the matter, they stated that a large portion of the printing work was delegated to other locations than ny, thus, they did not need as much space as they did in ny.

  also, it was stated that operation cost in nyc were expensive.

  Instructions from the Old Elder's Book

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  last night i was looking over the notes on my old elders book and one of the instructors told us to write this down.

  "when you want to get the friends to believe and obey anything, just keep saying it over and over and over and eventually they will believe it and follow whatever they are being told.

  when i went back to school, i learned this quote in one of my world history classes..

  Why would anyone question the validity of Aquila's story? I've known and have heard of a lot of stupid reasons people have gotten DFed. I've even been told by an elder (my BIL) that an investigative committee will be formed if they find out you've gone to a strip club.

  Are the Governing Body broadcasts promoted at Kingdom Hall meetings?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a question for those still attending i guess but are all these new jw.telemuppet.org broadcasts advertised to the the rank and file or is it more of a background thing?.

  i'm wondering because i just can't believe my 70 year old die-hard jw mum would ever see them if she wasn't sat down in front of a screen and someone clicked 'play' for her.

  i really want her to see the wizards behind the curtain.

  It's promoted at practically every meeting. I believe they have a showing every second Saturday of the month at the KH. They make it into a socal event with coffee and cookies or some other refreshments.

  last night i ran into a former elder friend, he is in his late 70s.

  he asked how i was doing and i asked how he was doing.

  then out of the blue he tells me; .

  My parents don't believe it either. But they say they'll "wait on Jehoveh to correct it".

  Extreme emotions re today's watchtower

  i was supposed to attend the meeting today, one of my once a month duties for the sake of my family and my fade.

  i read the wt and i just can't stomach going.... what this wt does is again and again reiterate that only jws will survive the coming destruction and that they should be happy about this and raise ourselves erect...eg:.

  we cannot expect that many people will suddenly convert to true christianity.

  Todays drivel definitely gave me a migraine.

  I really appreciated* this tidbit found in paragraph 15:

  So those who will be taken to heaven will first need to be “changed, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet.”...
  Therefore, while we do not use the term “rapture” here because of its wrong connotation, the remaining faithful anointed will be gathered together in an instant of time.

  *what a load! Reminds me of 1984.
