Guilt over Self-Pleasuring as a Dub. You?

    I'm wondering if any of you suffered major guilt over getting yourself off while a Dub. Or did you all manage to abstain until you left? I know it was one of the main reasons I left. I was one hell of a horny teen-ager and felt like all the work I did in the Cong was for nothing once I gave in to my baser instincts. I got tired of trying to balance the scales. Do bad, repent, do good to make up for it. Yikes.

    2 Years ago, at age 20, I even went to the elders about it. I mean I was seriously trying to be devout. Was I the only one who was awash in guilt over this?

    You actually went to the elders with this? Wow! That must have been exciting for them.

    Guilt is a tool.

    lari, by the time I figured out what it was and how to do it I could care less about what the JWs had to say about it.

    NYT..you're the biggest jackofficer here so what's your problem? Besides being an overall ass....

    I sooo understand you... like you, I was (am...) a horny teenager. In the beginning, I was overwhelmed by guilt, but as I checked out the WT's defense against "getting off", I found their "proof" wasn't big enough. It just didn't convince me. So I simply continued. And probably will for the next few years...

    Too many details?

    Hindsight and all - I realize that going to the Elders was a stupid thing. But I was "spiritually ill" and I was trying to go by the book. Guess what? A couple months later it was announced that one of the elders I met with was DFed - I mean, he faked some docs and got himself back into a cong, as an elder even. But then ran off with some young girl.

    So, hmm. maybe he did get a little too excited.

    No guilt here.
    It was a kinda hobby of mine when i was young lol.

    Just a thought though.
    If god made us in his image, with both hands and genitals, whats he going to do with his time when theres a paradise on earth and everyone is perfect?

    Hmmmmmmmm.

    Hey Geordie,

    Does your name mean you're a northerner?

    Just wondering...

    There was always a “high bar” I was chasing. It would be meeting attendance, answering, hours in field service and on and on. Got worse as an Elder. Never met that bar...how exhausting! Guilt city....
