    Article is basicqlly about families where a spouse is working away from home for an extended period, etc...A foot note says basically that some studies have shown that working away from home can cause serious consequences, such as infidelity, homosexuality, or incest.

    Pull it up on jw.org...that is what it says.

    A long distance job can cause incest or homosexuality....... Nah, no way are they that ignorant or stupid.

    Even my husband looked momentarily disturbed by it...but he quickly clarified for me that "The Society" didn't say that, other surveys did.

    OK, this is a joke, right. "Working away from home can cause

    homosexuality, and incest..

    So stupid, if thay had stopped at infidelity that may be true but

    to make the statement, you may become gay if you work

    away from home.

    In a few years the JW organization will be so out of touch with the

    real world that people will view them as bat sh---t crazy.

    Why doesn't that footnote have include some source note to prove that WT are not just making this up.I complete a lot of surveys both online and offline and have never been asked questions on that subject.

    Blame shifting?

    It sounds like they are denying that the toxic spiritual food they feed their followers is responsible for the very outcomes they despise.

    No it is the followers' fault bacause of being away from home too long.

    Lame and pathetic!

    This is what it says word for word:

    "Reports from various countries indicate that living apart from a mate or children in order to work abroad is a factor that for some has contributed to serious problems. These include infidelity on the part of one or both mates, homosexuality, or incest, and among children, increased behavioral and academic problems, aggression, anxiety, depression, or suicidal tendencies."
