  Sexless marriages

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've heard of a fair few sexless marriages in the borg, probably something to do with the fact that if you're raised "in" you'll have a pretty skewed view of sex by the time you finally get to do it.

  so if someone is trapped in a sexless marriage, from a jw standpoint they could get an unscriptural divorce...but...that doesn't leave them free to remarry??!

  seems pretty sadistic really.

  by Fisherman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a cat that cannot stop purring when he is with me, when i carry him or put him on my lap he drools saliva all over me.

  he cannot stay still on my lap.

  he moves all the time and demands to be petted all of the time again and again.. this is the only cat that i have ever owned.

  How Do Elders Sleep at Night? a non exJW friend asked me

  by feenx in

  hey everybody

  so after my post yesterday in reference to the scan of the flock book, then going over the notes taken by the elder in north carolina in reference to child molestors taking authority roles in the congregation and the society instructing for previous records of their abuse to be destroyed, (which btw i love how it's noted that it's a rare case when that happens.

  umm...doesn't that just confirm that it has happened, since it's rare, and not just a "policy") i sent the photos to a friend of mine as we were discussing it all.

  Here's the reason for the 3% jump in publishers for the past year

  by sir82 in

  1. jw

  it is immigration that explains the vast majority of the increase.. who is it that immigrates?

  the poorest of the poor, the desperate ones that would be dead from starvation or execution by gangs/guerillas within 5 years anyway.

  these were not the ones being converted in their home countries - when you have to work 14-18 hours a day, 7 days a week just to feed your family, there is no time to "study", attend meetings, go out in field servce, etc.. so, they go to their new country.
