    It might be the way I think and see, but the first time I looked at the image on pg 27 of the April 15 th Watchtower I was trying to figure out how it applied to this study. This is a darkened black and white image that appears in my edition of this magazine, (Its colour online). Anyway, para 9 talks about a brother that had an issue with looking at online porn. It says, “Before coming into the truth, one brother regularly viewed pornography, but he overcame the habit. Yet, his old inclination was still there, smoldering like the embers of a fire. When he obtained a new cell phone, his bad craving was reignited. (Jas. 1:14, 15) He used the phone to access pornographic Internet sites”.

    Now looking back at the image on page 27, at the girl looking out the window (can someone scan this image from the black and white magazine?) all I could see is a girl wearing a tight dress, and the corner of that bowl positioned in such a way that it looks like that girl is nude, at least from the waist down.

    And then just to make my shake my head again in wonderment, in para 11, why did they decide to use an example of a person that lived in an area called Masbate? Of all place names to choose, they choose Masbate?

    Yes, Masbate is a terrible habit, Skin. It's about time that this problem is addressed.

    Why does the WTS always talk about men and boys masturbating; no masturbating sisters? No sisters viewing porn?

    I think, this question is important. To the extent that the Watchtower is a male-dominated cult, I would not be surprised that their writtings bears gender bias.

    Because, they are sexist who think that women are dumber, and they can't even imagine a women masturbating, and since they don't like oral they probaly don't have a clue what a women's clitoris looks like.

    You're forgetting the terrific video for the deaf.

    It's gender-neutral hilarious.

    Yes about that video. I hope that the message is getting through to the women as well, otherwise we may need a sequell.

    Skin wanted someone to scan the image on p.27. I wish they would as I'd like to see it too.

    The WT sure seems to focus on masturbation a lot. They must be thinking about that subject A LOT. Along with homosexuals wearing tight pants.
