    It's all about control.

    It's what high control group do

    I have often said this,,, but it can be a very depressing thing being a JW.

    "Generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage."

    That would include discussions with elders, would it not? Would the above quote be strong enough to use against an elder or two who get a bit too curious? Or is it just more "plausible deniability"?

    Yes, if you don't want someone outside your marriage to know what is going on in your marriage, don't share that with them. Many jws take it very seriously to report other jws based on that person's wild idea that it is wrong and goes to the the elders and report you. Make sure that whatever happens is mutually agreed upon between husband and wife also Unless one spouse reports the other spouse...

    It is no longer clear to me if the GB holds hope for repentance during the GT after seeing the first minute of this video.

    Maybe too many folks were clueing in to last year’s read-between-the-lines last-minute loophole, and asking, “well, WTF’s the point in even being a JW, then?”

    "The Bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean."


    Why does it matter what the Bible provides as for details?

    The reason that they always refer to the Bible is that they need an authority to look to. But yet it's not necessary.

    JWs are always a little behind on things. 2024 was the peak year for butt stuff in the news. We'll see if 2025 surpasses it. I have a thought it will be something else this year. Butt butter seems to be starting off the year strong. Do the jws say anything about using items for pleasure? Maybe next year they'll add an article.
