Clever ploy to get sisters to monitor husband's internet use in today's WT

    In today's study Watchtower there was, yet again, more demonization of the internet. Although the paragraph purported to be about guarding against pornography, it struck me that they are attempting to kill two birds with one stone here, without mentioning one of the birds by name. Here's a scan, check out paragraph 15:

    This paragraph primes JW wives to suspect that if their husbands are looking at the internet out of sight of the rest of the family, they may be looking at pornography. The society encourages witnesses to view pornography as a betrayal of their spouse and almost as bad as adultery. Now supposing your JW husband is looking at the internet late at night, perhaps on a laptop or in his study, what else is he likely to be looking at? Perhaps apostate websites, or as the WT has referred to it: "spiritual pornography"?

    Is the society attempting to get JW wives to monitor their husband's internet use by raising these suspicions?

    Wow.

    I think you're spot-on. But the whole "supervised internet time" is terrifying enough.

    Great catch on this one. The idea is implanted: Raise suspicion. Make it harder to investigate apostate websites.

    Nothing is so powerful is to get others to do your controlling for you...

    Totally agree. I thought this when I was 12 years old. It's also why they have so many young teens engaging in early sexual activity. The kids I knew at the KH were much more sexually active than my school friends. And I told this to my parents too. I think it was the one thing that made my mother OK with me quittting the KH. She was petrified of me getting involved in sexual activity too soon.

    It's like George Orwell's novel 1984 where children are encouraged to spy on their parents and betray them to the Party.

    Of course they are looking at porn.

    The GB forbids them from actually doing the "fun" stuff.

    In all seriousness, I learned about internet porn from the WT.

    My kids learned about masturbation from the WT.

    And they wonder why they have a problem, they plant the seed.
