You have already gviven the answer.......the high energy of sexual desire......of course religion have to try to control that energy. If religion cannot control that energy it cannot control anything. That's why religion and sex is so connected.

Sex really that bad?
by Batman89 ini was just thinking randomly.
why/how are sexual desires really that much of a sin??.
sexual energy is one of the highest forms of energies known, why would god put this strong desire in us only to have us repress it through his"word the bible"??.

Lugna puckar, Bamse!
Nice with some more scandinavians/swedes here.
Why not: "Hey, did you tell the girls to take our wine with them?"

REMEMBER THOSE IN NURSING HOMES
by The Searcher inwhen i saw this article's title in the latest kingdom ministry - http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/278822/1/june-2014-kingdom-ministry-km-06-2014-pdf - i was delighted!!.
i thought, "at last, we are all being encouraged to visit our poor brothers & sisters in nursing homes, who feel abandoned!.
nope, that's not it - it's all about targetting non-witnesses in those establishments, and get them to sign up for "bible" studies.

"They need their wills. And yes most are mentally or physically disabled to a degree."
I'm afraid this is at least an important factor.

Is this new donation arrangement for real?
by nugget injust read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.
congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.
congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

Just one more thought.
I know some cases in my country where an elder or a group of elders have been pushing elderly people (mostley women/widovs) to change their wills. In one case the elders had formulated a new will and pushed the lady to sign it. The lady felt so bad about it that she told her daughter about it, and she helped her mother annulate that will.
So the thought of elders looking at tax returns is not that farfetched.

"There's a disconnect between the importance of the change to the everyday lives of ordinary witnesses and the banter on this board."
Yes, that's true. All changes in doctrine about the FDS or the generation does not change the everyday lives of the rank and file. The rank and file has to continue washing windovs and doing field service as usual. Nevertheless those changes are of great interestto some of us anyhow.......everything isn't about every day life. Certainley not with religions

It might be related to getting people to the jw.org(y) website.

A lot of things seems to be changing. Maybe the this year has caused some problems at Bethes and among the GB. In fact nothing has happened since 1914.........perheaps it's time for some remake of the org...?
In some way I think that the grip will harden ......... even in doing FS. Is it possible that les active wtmesses in some way will finance the pioneers. We know that the elders will have a look at every individual JW's economy. Professional pioneers and well off JWs sposoring those??

Preparing for my next visit from my Elderette - Who (or what) is the Faithful & Discreet Slave, and why do JW's worship and follow a slave?
by Faithful Witness inshe is coming tomorrow afternoon, and i do plan to have a coherent mind and much better concentration this time.
i was suffering from hypoglycemia last time she made a surprise visit, and i was foggy and literally could not comprehend a simple sentence i was reading.
our plans are to discuss the topic of the fds.

"She also has made the comment about how "each person has to come to their own conclusion about what they believe..."
Each person???? Does every JW have that freedom? Juse some year ago every single JW had to change the their belief about whio the FDS really is.
