*** w83 3/15 p. 31 Honor Godly Marriage! ***
yes, oral sex certainly is frowned upon in the Watchtower. But that was over 20 years ago. I wonder if this line is presently pushed in the literature. Has anyone a more recent article on this topic?

Here's a great site that uses the Watchtower's own articles to show how they contradict themselves and to show their teachings on just about every subject. This is one of my favorite sites.
I think he got scared off. Could be due to obsessive attention to a particular side issue?
Anyway, I know there are many things that are enticing about what the Witnesses are pitching. But for a moment think about it in terms of an pitch given by any organization. Have you been given an Amway sales pitch? Have you heard from people involved in Scientology, or even people who are into Landmark seminars? Have you ever sat through one of those timeshare sales presentations? All of these share certain things in common. Just ponder this.
There are recent articles written by the Watchtower Society called, "The Manipulation of Information", and "Don't be a Victim of Propaganda" available at the Watchtower's official website: http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/2000/6/22/article_02.htm. and http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/2000/6/22/article_03.htm
They are good articles on how to see through the slick reasoning of people or organizations who have a particular agenda. Here are a few quotations:
There you go. If I were you I would take this sound counsel to heart. I would "call their bluff" here and really scrutinize the presentations of the Watchtower according to this criteria. Remember, according to their own words, all sides of an issue (and not all from the same source) are crucial. Can you recognize any of these "tactics" in the Watchtower literature or in the assertions of your co-worker?
Re:Tata's post:
This is a computer generated translation that I did not edit..so, there are a couple words a bit out of place.
Finally, you should maintain you clean in moral sense. The Bible exhorts to ?to flee the fornication? (1 Corinthian 6:18). The original Greek word for fornication, by·néi·to, refers to illicit sexual every activity that imply the employment of the organs genitals out of the marriage, which includes the oral sex and to caress the sexual organs. Some Christian youths have acted thus thinking that they did not commit fornication. Nevertheless, the Word of God says clearly: ?This is the will of God: the sanctification of you, that abstain of the fornication; that each one of you know to take possession of its own glass in sanctification and honor?
I may be so bold to offer just one book and one book only to read "Crisis of Coscience "
I second this one. He also presents some interesting alternatives to 'organized' religion that we tend to feel is necessary
If you want to read about Jehovah's Witnesses who are now Catholics and the reasons why, go to
You will find some interesting articles, as well as conversion stories.
By the way, welcome to the forum.

Marc,
If you're still reading these posts, please take a look at this thread. It's a good place to begin.
Hey guys, isn't masturbation a no-no too?? I think Tyydyy told me that one... I'm not quite sure with that prohibition how any man, and most women could stay. What a choice - either lie (and be guilty before Jehober) or forgo??? Plus creative positioning, ie. doggy style??
Tsk, tsk.
I also remember at one of last year's apostafests some guy saying he actually got a letter from the elders when he was a senior in high school warning that school counselors recommending college were doing "Satan's work" and then he and the other kids in the congregation that were also seniors were counseled.
