    Por-nei-a is a made up term that the Washtowel Babble and Crap Slaveholdery uses to disfellowship people while extracting embarrassing details about people's private lives. And, it is totally unnecessary.

    As I see it, it is none of anyone's business except the parties involved. In the case where one or both parties is married to someone not involved, it is also the innocent spouse's business. If a child is forced or scammed into getting involved, we now have an infraction that goes beyond simple fornication--now, it becomes an initiatory force, threat of force, and/or fraud issue and is much more serious. (Which is more common within the Washtowel, with all the pedophiles they have on the loose).

    These Catholics, very liberal Catholics mind you, don't believe that porneia was talking about pre-marital sex or even homosexuality, but prostitution.

    So in their eyes, there is nothing to confess as far as those acts are concerened. I wonder if the Society will ever come to that same conclusion. I'm tired of being celebate, but I'm not ready to be DF'd, so that means I'd have to lead a double life - which is fine until I get caught. I am one of those people who stay in because I have family, specifically an 8 year old nephew who depends on me being part of his life. So, as I am often, I feel at a crossroads between taking care of myself and my taking care of others....I just want a little suga in my bowl, is that so wrong?

    I spent the best part of my life being there for others and ignoring my own needs in the process. It was never appreciated. Aside from my own parents and one friend, no one else was ever there when I was in need.

    You need to strike a balance between caring for your own needs and the needs of others. Yours must come first, otherwise you will eventually crash and burn.

    As for sex, "porneia", and sin, get some! Just be considerate and safe. These days marriage is little more than a legal document that makes it costly to end a relationship. Many end up in divorce, and lawyers seem to be the only ones who benefit from this cycle of stupidity. In bible times a man took a woman to his home and "made her his wife". There was no marriage license required. Try that today and the JWs would call it "porneia". This whole "porneia" BS is nothing more than a JW control mechanism.

    And yes, celibacy sucks. Marriage taught me that. Marriage is no guarantee that you'll have a fulfilling love life or even a love life at all.

    Screw being celibate! I remember a comedienne saying: "I told my date that I am celibate - I sell-a-bit here and sell-a-bit there!" hahahah! As that pervert R Kelly put it OH so eliquently:

    "I don't see nuthin wrong...with a lil bump n grind!"

    So, I'm currently inactive - and listen to the meetings on the phone on occasion. I did attend the convention, 1 1/2 days because all my family was there and it would really cause a stir if I just decided not to go.

    At any rate, given all of that info - if I started dating worldly men, then married one, what are my chances of being disfellowshipped?? Or, if I keep it private, and show up married, what will they simply reprove me?

    Just thinking through all the options.

    "Matthew 19:9 I say to YOU that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication(porneia), and marries another commits adultery.”

    You may not know the answer to this, but what was the term used here for adultery? Just curious.

    Matthew 19:9 I say to YOU that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication(porneia), and marries another commits adultery(moichao).”

    "Moichao" always mean "adultery" and is unrelated to the word "porneia"(unclean/unnatural sex acts).
