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.
Marriage is a religious tool and government business contract designed to put money into the court coffers. Don't believe it? Go through a contentious divorce. With a JW. If you marry someone without having lots of sex with them you are a complete idiot. Why not have lots of sex, make a commitment to each other in your heart if inclined, enjoy it while it lasts?
Probably not one of my more benevolent posts, but marriage and abstinence is completely overrated.

optimist: watchtower must be hurting for money.
look at all the downsizing and begging for money.. pessimist: no way they are hurting.

Pessimist: NO WAY they are hurting. They just sold property worth half a billion with half a billion more to go and they get a billion a year in donations. Appearing to be hurting is only a ploy to get more donations.
Antagonist: We will never know. So just STFU about it.
is it possible this aspect of the meeting was cancelled so that jws would not be categorized as a "school" where in many areas elders and ministerial servants would have to submit to a background check by secular authorities?

my parents are visiting for not-thanksgiving.
dad started bringing up spiritual stuff and i almost screwed up my fade.. it's so hard to have a genuine discussion about the issues in the organization when you have become an atheist.
it feels icky and disgusting to have to pretend and nod your head at such platitudes as "you just need to have faith"..."trust in jehovah"..."jehovah will correct it"..."remember ray franz?
