I heard a rumor that a couple of years ago the JW's actually outlawed french kissing too. Can anyone tell me if this is true and also whether or not there has been any "New Light" shed on the policy since?
Thank you

Did they quote the scripture about the "unruly tongue" causing trouble? <=tongue

Did they quote the scripture in James about "the tongue is able to set a whole forest ablaze"? <=tongue

If tongues are wagging in the bedroom, just imagine how they might wag out in the congregation!! Why there might even be (shudder) gossip and slander among God's only chosen people. (Gasp)

Seriously, French kissing was never mentioned in the publications. Now of course, that doesn't prevent local or regional overseers from inventing their own 'rules' or 'principles'.

But unlike oral sex, French kissing never made it into the publications, although it might have been fun to see what they would say about such a thing!

Re: French Kissing...

Reliable inside sources say the subject was indeed assigned to a junior staffer in Writing, but he was unable to complete it .. it seemed he passed out glassy-eyed after seven trips to the men's room in two hours.

Guys, your killin' me. hehe! I ask a serious question and end up falling off my chair laughing at the replies. I love it! Thank you.
I guess it was just one of those local talks then. My poor mother. She told my youngest sister about the announcement and mourned having to give that up. What is even sadder is that my Oldest sister just got reinstated, and she will probably never hear that one. She is in a different congregation. She has given up everything else though. Her poor husband of so many years doesn't know what hit him. He married one woman and suddenly she is gone, and I'd bet money he is not too happy with her replacement.
It is amazing what mind control can do.

You Know

It was a misinterpretation of the verse that says: "Whether there are tongues, they will cease." LOL / You Know

FRENCH kissing, politically incorrect. Would not go down good in France, they are having enough trouble there already. If they banned FKs then they would lose a whole bunch more dubs. Call it Afhan kissing or something else.

You Know, good one, did you say that tongue in cheek?

belbab, tongue tied.

Hey Gang-

I do not know if it is official policy or not but I can tell you what happened to my brother.

My brother got caught french kissing the daughter of one of the elders in our congregation. This eventually was brought up to the Circuit Overseer who told my brother that french kissing was an unclean way to express emotion and that it was so unclean that even "dedicated Christians" do not engage in it.

You know -- whether there are tongues,they will cease? Oh my God, you got me ROFL.

Jeff--

Are we to suspect that this conduct is covered in the secret elder's manual? (I guess the manual's not so secret, eh?) I don't have time to look it up right now. If not, than this C.O. has a problem with pride or authority or something. The scripture says for elders "not to Lord it over others" and "not to be the master of their brother's faith".

Maybe for unmarried people, they're trying to draw the line -- what kind of kissing is clean, what is not? I cannot imagine them EVER trying to apply a NFK (No French Kissing) rule to a married couple! The married couple would rightly tell the meddling overseer where he could stick his suggestion!! <--tongue
