but I just can't quite put my finger on it.

They make a toy for that....

Evidently, the lives of those who disobediently post on apostate websites would overlap with the lives of married couples who use sex toys

Now that was funny, really funny.

Speaking of which, why are you here? Missed the July 15, 2011 Watchtower, have we? How about obeying the direction of the faithful and discreet slave class by not posting on an apostate web site? Such loyal obedience will serve to protect you from losing Jehovah's favor.

Why would you be interested in my motives for posting messages to JWN? What could you possibly do with my providing you an answer to the reason I do anything that I choose to do? You believe JWN to be an "apostate web site," do you? Have you read any of my posts, and I mean any of them? Did you ever notice when reading any one of them something that struck you as indicating that I am not actively one of Jehovah's Witnesses? From reading my posts -- any of them -- did I struck you as someone that would so thin-skinned and spiritually immature as to be repelled from the things that many apostates that do post to JWN might say as might well be the response of someone having less experience being one of Jehovah's Witnesses?

I'm not expecting you to answer these questions -- not at all -- but I wanted you to know that this idea of yours that I shouldn't be here reading and posting messages to JWN for whatever reason that pops into your mind is ludicrous and a rather stupid one quite frankly, considering that many of the folks that post messages here on JWN -- maybe even you, but I cannot recall at the moment if you are numbered among them -- are always going on about how you detest the perceived mind control within Jehovah's organization. And yet, @sd-7, here you are, ostensibly free to speak your mind and to do what you want, even as recently as today applauding the decision of @OneDayillBeFree -- a young man that recently started a thread about what he referred to as his "story" -- in one of your posts to his thread about the importance of his thinking for himself advocating that I do what you evidently perceive something you read in a recent Watchtower article you read is exhorting me, no, demanding me to do, which, again, is both ludicrous and indicates to me the disappointingly low depth to which your spirituality has sunk.

And just some of the advice you gave to the young man was this:

"I'm happy for you, that there's a girl in your life who understands your feelings. Be careful, though. If anyone detects your doubts, they could use her against you, maybe even try to turn her against you. For your sake, I hope that doesn't happen.... Anyone and everyone associated with Jehovah's Witnesses in your life right now is to be considered as forfeit."

I especially thought "continue reading the Bible" to be priceless advice considering that it serves no beneficial purpose for anyone that is determined to take a path contrary to The Way to be reading the Bible. You don't know the dynamic that exists between this young man and his girlfriend and yet in real life this dynamic is very important if one is to sustain a romantic relationship, so what if she should meet someone else while attempting to execute the plan that you proposed, and emotional immaturity on his part should lead him to do things that he never would have done had he not listened to you and others here that provided the kind of determination needed to pursue his leaving God's organization, as you have done, only to maybe get himself strung out on drugs because of his making drug users his friends (to whom he will be beholden to buy the next "round" of drugs), or his having to take meds for the rest of his life because of his having (maybe) contracted a STD of some kind (like herpes) or (maybe) becoming sterile, completely trashing whatever ideas he might have had of starting a family and having children of his own? In the world these things are a part of real life from which we adults want to protect our children. Are you an adult?

I would also note that in this other thread, you began by telling the young man that "this is a dangerous time for you," while @yadda yadda 2 went on to advise him" to "don't be afraid to get a bit physical together. It sounds like you are in love so [don't] fight it or you'll be miserable," which was callously incredible to read since the fact that "you guys" would give him such advice underscores what you told him as to this being "a dangerous time" as far as the advice he received from you two guys here on JWN. If I needed someone to articulate an explanation as to the contents of one of the articles we print and circulate around the world in our literature, it wouldn't be you that I would ask to do the articulating, since, imo, you would definitely pose a real danger to the spirituality of the unwary.

And talk about "mind control"! You and others here are mind control technicians yourselves as you see no problem seeking out the minds of impressionable young minds like this young man to control their thinking, while freeing them from the "mind control" of the Christ, whose minds have been transformed by making their own minds over by proving to themselves "the good and acceptable and perfect will of God" so that they might be controlled by your way of thinking. (Romans 12:2) I know how to read; I know how to think for myself. Do not think that you need to articulate any article that we ourselves have written for me. Put another way, you sound goofy tome asking me why am I here on JWN. You must be a clueless wonder on your block. Read my posts -- any of them -- and even the clueless -- even you! -- ought to be able to figure out why I am here. Maybe not.

Well, djeggnog, unless 'The Watchtower' has an 'Adult Study Edition' that I don't know of, then it should be obvious that this was a joke.

What if someone should print out your article without the "headnote" and the unwary to whom I refer above should actually read it? Might these not be persuaded to believe your piece to have been written my the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society? You "article" was written so well, @sd-7, that I'm pretty sure that others could be persuaded to believe that we had published this QfR parody of our QfR articles, that you authored and posted here on JWN. Yes, it was a joke, but I cannot take this kind of joke, and if it were up to me -- and it isn't -- I would personally come after you for posting such a well-written fake QfR parody.

And why on earth would any elder be interested in what a married couple might be doing or need to do in enjoying sexual intimacies with their own marriage mate?

I don't care about such things; we are doing what things are humanly possible to deal with such nonsense that might be going on in our ranks. Don't you be worrying yourself about it, ok?

If someone decided to print this out, they would (or should) probably realize it was a fake from (1) the subject matter, which the Society wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole, (2) the absence of a date or page references, and (3) from the comments from this and previous threads recognizing that it is not a real article.

Are you serious? There is nothing in this fake QfR article you authored to suggest that it is a parody, which is not the kind of information that a good parody would contain, and I having to give it to you: This article you wrote was well-written and could fool the not-as-studious as the rest Witness into believing it to be a real article published by the WTS, and, like I said above, nothing prevents what you wrote from appearing without the "headnote" in some other form. Give yourself credit; it's good, but you might have opened yourself up to a lawsuit. We'll see what happens.

Thank you, pirata. Specifics. Chew on that, and wash it down with some eggnog.

I did read what @pirata wrote in her post. My question to you is, did you read her post? There was nothing in what she posted regarding one's mate "enforcing perverted acts" that suggested anything true about your parody. (I mean what you wrote was a parody, right?) Why don't you chew on what she wrote? Did you also read what @the max stated in his post?

I thought it was a serious post. Humour kills everything, HA HA HA !!!

Did you get that? He thought your post was "a serious post," but he got the joke. What about those reading your post or the text of your post and do not get the joke? This would be the basis of a lawsuit brought against you, @sd-7, because it being only a parody would not be the humor over which the jury that awards damages against you would be ruminating.

@djeggnog

Exactly WHO is it that is going to go to an apostate website like this one and print out sd-7's parody mistaking it for the real WT study for the week?

sd-7 you rock!

If perhaps another person, not the offender's mate, became involved, using the "toy" to stimulate such a person, it would definitely become a form of porneia and be classified as adultery, thus entitling the offended mate to obtaining a Scriptural divorce and being free to remarry "in the Lord" if he or she so decided.

What if the mate was not offended?

hahahahahahahaha
