Masturbation seems to be one of those grey areas (no pun intended) that constitute "frowned upon" behaviour but there is no explicit condemnation in terms of, If you do it, you have committed a serious sin that needs to be cleared up with the elders. However, there is still enough low-level indirect condemning that sensitive young people who have a "problem" in that area will probably feel really bad and even compelled to seek "help" from the elders. But, they may even end up feeling worse after talking to the elders.
OK, So I'm thinking about becoming a witness.

Perhaps "A friend in need" is actually in need of a fair and unbiased mind instead of a closed and biased mind.

Well, I must admit that noble-minded is perhaps too loftier goal at this stage. I'd settle for less knee-jerk reactivity and perhaps just a simple capacity to answer people's questions without deviating into the alleged "motives" for questions. I guess I can dream, can't I?

I think it took on a life of its own... It'd be nice to hear from MarkA again though.

Make the most of the thought, after you have become one you wont be able to do any thinking at all.
Have fun
