Right, this actual, real, accurate article from the Watchtower is hilarious.
When you realize it was actually intended dead seriously, and that its author actually thought he helped young people understand sex, it becomes absurdly ludicrous.
This masterpiece was undoubtedly written by Fred Franz, the theological leader of the JW movement from 1942 until his death. It is obvious to anyone who has ever had anything resembling a sex life, that poor old Freddie had not! Obviously, from reading books about bovine sexuality (one can assume), he "logically" concluded that what applied to the cow, necessarily applied to the human female.
Again, quite funny.
However, fact is this man was actually the supreme leader for millions of loyal believers worldwide. They looked to this men to tell them how to function in their daily lives, down to the minutest details. The man had never had sex. He told millions how to have sex. He had no children. He told them how to raise children. He had no knowledge of family life. He decided how wives and husbands should behave, in what is arguably the most important and complex social relationship in existence. His words broke up families, tore children from parents and alienated friends and family from each other.
Not so funny anymore.
Moral (if we can use such a word): The big problem for humanity is not evil. It is stupidity. Evil leaders can do much harm. Stupid leaders are disastrous. JW leadership are intolerably stupid, and the harm is correspondingly significant.
