    Excellent - If anybody wants to see the March 15th 1983 quote in its written form, this is from the cd rom

    w83 3/15 p. 31 Honor Godly Marriage! *

    *"*The above-presented facts show that porneia involves unlawful sexual conduct outside the marital arrangement. Thus, a mate’s enforcing perverted acts, such as oral or anal sex, within the marriage would not constitute a Scriptural basis for a divorce that would free either for remarriage. Even though a believing mate is distressed by the situation

    *** w83 3/15 p. 31 Honor Godly Marriage! **(footnote)

    *This is an amplification and adjustment in understanding of what appears in TheWatchtower of November 15, 1974, pages 703-704, and of February 15, 1978, pages 30-32. Those who acted on the basis of the knowledge they had at the time are not to be criticized. Nor would this affect the standing of a person who in the past believed that a mate’s perverted sexual conduct within marriage amounted to porneia and, hence, obtained a divorce and is now remarried."

    NB What about someone who had divorced on the basis of the previous teaching, thinking that it gave them the freedom to re marry, but had not done so before they read the second WT article. They might even have been planning a wedding. All of a sudden, the WT printed this - they were not free to marry after all It must have happened to somebody. I hope that they would have told the Borg where to go

    One major problem with their argument is unnatural = immoral. In fact, unnatural is just unnatural, not immoral. Computers are not natural. It is not natural to force a square peg in a round hole, but it is not immoral.

    Yeah, keeps going off and on when it wants to and eventually burns out because of that.
