Homerovah the Almighty, when I stated this statement, Personally, I would have looked one for you if possible., I was meaning only if I was an Elder by then within your congregation, I might have helped find a sister for you but not judge you during JC meeting. Meanwhile, I thanks other contributors doofdaddy, Billy the Ex-Bethellite for their insightful words on this otherwise, important topic.

Could be worse. When I told the elders I was gay they suggested I get married (to a sister for the avoidance of doubt).
So what did you then? What option did you choose? Do you think the Elder might have alerted the sister about your sexual orientation?

I might have helped find a sister for you but not judge you during JC meeting.
This poses another set of problems because if this was to occur your essentially pushing people into getting married
even though he or she is emotionally or financially not ready or capable to take on this responsibility.
Therefore I remember JW kids getting married as early as 15 or 16 years old, talk about impractical and irresponsible guidance.
Many of these marriages of course only lasted for a year or two, some unfortunately with children involved.
Hi Scott - I didn't marry and the JC facilitated my velocitous extramuralisation. Thankfully. :) As for telling the sister, I found out sometime after the JC that the details had been discussed and that remarks had been made by younger members of the congregation in front of my brother who was not and never had been a JW, and knew nothing about my sexuality. So much for discretion lol

Homerovah the Almighty, what both of us have stated above rings true in our ears but please take notice. Before an effort is done to help out, several factors (financial, physiological and you know some mores) have to be taken into account not only just one (masterbation factor).
As for you GromitSK, revealing the details of your confidentiality certainly is a serious ground for sueing expecially if you had been with a professional like a Social worker or a Psychologist. So I assume the 'prospective sister' wife got the detail from a third party without your knowledge if I am correct? My other question, what do you mean by "the JC facilitated my velocitous extramuralisation"? By the way, do you know that one of GB member was a Gay? I have never heard any information in which he was advised to get a sister just for the sake of covering up the doubts. I think it is a double standard and has to do with one's status within the WTS organistion.

Yes absolutely, but I don't recall reading about these things in any of the AW or WT magazines or other books by the WTS.
The JWS are very weak in their guidance to young people who are considering marriage, compared to more of the main stream religions.
There was a time actually when they discouraged people getting married all together so they could spend more time going out in service
selling their literature. Power in the hands of the stupid and corrupt.
But were still god's one and only solemn organization .......OK !
I put up a thread
"Masturbation to become a DF offense." Ages ago. it was based on details from the Elduhs school.
VM thought it was a "Hamster spoof" , but a few weeks later an article came out in the Koolaid edition, that said you can be DF, if looking at erotic images, or the fantasies indulged in at the time were "unnatural."
basically they can DF you for anything they want. Even thinking one of the elders is a bozo.

Yes I can just hear and see the announcement at the hall.
Brothers and Sisters we have an important announcement to make !
: As of today the elders of this congregation have determined that Brother Wankalot
will no longer be considered one of the Jehovah's Witnesses due to his uncontrollable and impulsive
habit of masturbation. Even though we had placed a chastity glove on his right hand covered with pins and needles
he still continued to masturbate at will. Erotic pictures of sisters in this hall have been confiscated and will be destroyed
after further review by the elders. We make this decision in the name of are father Jehovah and son Jesus Christ.
Homerovah -
Can you PLEASE use a standard or larger typeface?
I am SICK TO DEATH of having to squint at what you post. it doesn't save paper anyways...
