  Maybe this is just me and how I see things as an outsider: BUT why is it that witnesses seem to flirt, and touch, and act as horny as a cat in heat?

  Is it proper for a witnesses to call a nonwitness at 11:00 at night while she is taking a bubble bath?

  Is is proper for a witness to put a white rose on a man's jeep? What does that mean?

  Is it spiritually acceptabale to come to work with 3 buttons unfastened on her shirt, and flaunt the fact that she is unbuttoned?

  Maybe this is just a love-fest of a religion, but why does all the sweet innocent sisters seem unable to keep their hands off any sinful man, esp those who think they are not a player but the game itself.

  Am I the only one who sees this?

  I am not stereotyping since I know some who are very sweet and proper, but the younger girls esp. act like all they want is a holy piece of ass.

  I could list countless examples.

  I think you answered your own question there, it's because they ARE in heat, being young and all. The same goes for young witness boys, or young people in general, and a lot of not-so-young people. Thing is, adopting a certain standard intellectually, be it from the bible or what have you is a far cry from being able to actually integrate it into your day to day life. People who are just told to do this and be this way without being instructed on how to do it ends up with repressed sexual impulses. It may include some witnesses, or a lot of them, but it's not that surprising in the big picture.

  I got one on an '86 Toyota Corrola from a lady at the oil change station once, but then I realized she gives one to everyone. Actually, I think it was a carnation. But it was nice, made me feel special.

  Maybe because they're human? Give them a break. *grumble*

  Yeah, well grumble...they may be human, but they're not suppose to be sexually charged up. Or maybe that's what those tuesday night meetings are all about--Orgy?

  That is, after all, the whole point of flirtation, is it not?

  They're nost supposed to be sexually charged up? Says who? They're not freaks they're people just like you and me. You can't take your experiences and paint 6 million people with your prejedice. Some of them may be self righteous asses sure, but to condemn them for displaying human behaviour is ridiculous. What's your angle here?

  Hey lets focus people! Now.. Did anyone see the latest episode of Buffy?

  Theresa, let me just say that the most likely explanation is probably the simple fact that as far as many witnesses are concerned, their sexual behavior/conduct is no different than the rest of the population. It wouldn't be so much a product of the religion, but rather the religion has "no power" in that respect.

  In his book, Almost Adam, Petru Popescu coins the term "the desperation of genes" to describe our built-in, relentless drive to reproduce (or, to have sex, anyway; we assume reproduction is the underlying goal).

  Likely these poor witnesses you describe are caught in the throes of desperation. Where the spirit is willing, the flesh will find a way.

  But they are different, they are supposed to be demonstrating perfect human attributes, aren't they? They are supposed to resist temptation to please Jehovah.

  ok, apart from all the foresaid, I have one other slant on it:
  many young witnessess think that all the world around them are constantly shagging, going to orgies and swapping wives, sacrificing children to the Devil, etc. When some leave, they go off the rails and become porn stars or just very, er .... sexually active. Mean while, the ones still in let off steam by flirting, etc a.k.a. playing with fire.
