Elders school notes, Part 6: The JW Talmud, and Trust Us!!! (page 9)

"And what if the large breasted sister felt guilty that her breasts tended to reach out and touch someone AND she liked it??"
Minimus,
please stop; I can't laugh anymore.... :)
One could make the point of... what if an abnormaly sized niple just met an open mouth and, just by accident, landed right into it, and the mouth actually closes... both of them could be in judicial territory by such a rather unfortunate circumstance. :)

Sir82, you God among men, you! What a great review this has been. Lordy, lordy...

On porn-viewing, this question came up: 4) Was it accompanied by masturbation?

I think this needs to be reworded a bit: 4) Did the idiot admit to masturbating, too?

("No, brothers, I did not masturbate while I watched videos on blow-my-wad.com. You.. um... don't happen to have two witnesses to refute me, do you? Didn't think so... cool...")

I also loved that "viewing child porn" was considered "loose conduct". Here in the real world, we call it "criminal behavior that's likely to earn you some new orifices in one of our finer prisons", but I guess they do state it more succinctly. (I wonder what the direction is on turning a brother into the authorities if he's in possession of kiddie porn?)

Scully posted the article:

*** g93 3/8 pp. 26-27 Surrogate Motherhood—Is It for Christians? ***

The

Bible’s Viewpoint

Surrogate

Motherhood—Is It for Christians?

That article claims to express the Bible's viewpoint on the topic of surrogate Motherhood, in which a woman other than the wife is used to bear childern for the family.

Now the article might very well mention some valid Biblical points, but I question why the writer left out some very important Biblical practices that were ALLOWED by Jehovah in the OT.

A prime example is the Biblical story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, the maid-servant. Was not Surrogate Motherhood practiced in this case? And was it not a common practice back then? And yet the article, claiming to give the Biblical viewpoint, omits any mention of the story.

Another example, related to the practice of Surrogate Motherhood, was the practice of the using the brother of the husband to be the father of the childern, if the husband proved to be impotent for some reason.

Both these examples are left out, so I would have to say that the writer is only giving a PARTIAL viewpoint from the Bible.

Really though, if one is going to write on what the Bible has said about a topic, one shoule mention the places in the Bible where the subject is mentioned.

Answering a few of the questions posted in the replies:

I do not remember such emphasis on "uncleanness with greediness" or Eph 4:19 in the past. I suspect we will be hearing about that in future Watchtower articles.

There were no demonstrations of judicial committees.

Oh yes, I most certainly do take notes nuch more carefully now. I particularly listen for the most outlandish and absurd statements, and try to write them down as close to verbatim as I can.

I think the strong emphasis on breasts reflects the particular sexual interests of the GB, or at least whatever committee was in charge of putting together that talk, likely the Service Committee. They have no particular interest in foot fetishes or whatever, so they mention nothing about it.

Sir, did they say anything about "asses"?

The emphasis on breasts was really odd. Dave and I both were mystified by the points mentioned several times "kissing the breasts". Is that a big deal? It seems there are other things that would be more sensational.
