  Hey! Is this encouraging masturbation???

  by starfish422 in

  2. bible

  from http://quotes.watchtower.ca/women.htm : (highlighting mine) it is high time for girls to understand the make-up of their bodies and its functions, especially with regard to sex.

  then if a girl understandingly takes care of herself while the ovum is at large and is causing sex disturbance and cravings within her, she will be able to act like a true lady of irreproachable morals at all times.

  she will avoid the violating of her virginity and the shame and conscience-stricken state due to this; and wisely she will direct her young life so as to end up in the position of a clean, happy wife and mother of legitimate children, journeying to the new world of righteousness, where there will be no sex problems amid a sex-crazy population.

  last night i had a pretty profound dream.

  first off, i often dream about being at my old kingdom hall, with my family and various people who were in that congregation.

  last night, my dream was that my parents, two brothers, me and my sister were at the meeting, but in a church.

  Marriage question

  i have a question for those who got married in a jw ceremony, or who became jws after being married.

  did the elder marrying you, or those studying with you, counsel you as to what forms of sexual intercourse are acceptable within jehovah's loving organization(tm)?

  just having a "discussion" of sorts on another board and i'm being challenged by a dutiful jw wife.

  i know they're desperate for new members for that annual service report; but she is wayyyyy too young to know what she's doing to her life.

  :( there should seriously be a minimum age for this.

  Good article about the NWT

  this is from the freeminds website.

  i love reading quotes in their full context and realizing how much the "brothers" have chopped them up to suit their own purposes.

  What I Want For Christmas

  by starfish422 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  robert ingersoll, 1833-1899: if i had the power to produce exactly what i want for next christmas, i would have all the kings and emperors resign and allow the people to govern themselves.. i would have all the nobility crop their titles and give their lands back to the people.

  i would have the pope throw away his tiara, take off his sacred vestments, and admit that he is not acting for god - is not infallible - but is just an ordinary italian.

  i would have all the cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests and clergymen admit that they know nothing about theology, nothing about hell or heaven, nothing about the destiny of the human race, nothing about devils or ghosts, gods or angels.
