Heck in my old congregation the ladies caused more trouble than the boys. granted the boys were far from being angels. Come to think of it, that was a very problematic congregation. good times.
JW Ladies: starved for love?

Elsewhere, does that breed a kind of cynicism amongst the boys, and maybe just a little bit of contempt for the chicks who are offered to them? I don't think I'd want to eat the pie that was thrust in my face either. I'd like to THINK there was a choice, both for the diner and the dessert.
I, too, have seen the flirting, especially with one (chronically) single girl. She did it at work, too. I'm not even sure she's aware of it. It is as if her co-workers opinions, feelings, etc. didn't matter, as long as the male was paying attention. Come to think of it, that about sums up the power structure at the hall.

Years ago, I think it was in the late '60's, a Circuit Overseer went around nailing servants wives.
I used to wonder how he managed to do this - but given the intensity of repression I can understand it now.

I must have got more freaky poontang at the kingdom hall then at the clubs.
WHAT?! Why are you talking about funky foutons? I don't get it (kidding).
Jeez--where was I? I was the upstanding virginal type. I thought everyone was.

I think the JW women are starved for affection, attention and love. They are belittled, ignored, talked down to and treated like second class citizens. So it would stand to reason that any male that pays attention to them would be pounced upon like a piece of candy.
This is so true. It's also among the reasons that many if not most women in the Watchtower corporate cult suffer from a lack of self esteem, or less self esteem than they should possess given their circumstances.
Meetings, elders meetings, field service, field service meetings, studying, and scrubbing the toilets at the hall, all serve to diminish or in some cases, extinguish, a man's sex drive. The result? Witness women are often deprived of sex and/or companionship, in addition to being treated as "second class citizens." No wonder they're looking around.

I think a lot of it has to do with ratio, in my area, and in fact the entire circuit, the women outnumbered the men by at least 3-1, so under those circumstances you are going to get some interesting sociological dynamics......given that most JWs adolescents would swear off sex until marriage, this just increases the urgency to find a man and get married ASAP. But I am sure it depends on the region you live in....
Props to the toronto scene though....there were some gorgeous JW girls back in my day....my oh my........

Women in KH are no different to women anywhere.
There's a lot of women out there looking for love and affection. Us men get so wrapped up in work or pals etc, that we forget our "best friend" often until it's too late.
I learned this years ago and attempt to make real time for whoever is special in my life. Guess what?
Heaps of great sex

Doofdaddy, you are one highly intelligent and extremely attractive man! No I am not hitting on you, but your last post on this thread and other post on other threads, shows that you are.
144001, I have to tell you, I really enjoy your well thought out thread questions and your posts, I put you in the same class as Doofdaddy.
Girls/Lades.....I guess we're pretty lucky on JWD, it seems for the most part the men that have escaped the WTB&TS and post here, seem to be a highly intellegent and attractive group, aren't we lucky!

Suddenly I understand why all those nibby nosed sisters, mostly all wives of elders, were always butting into other people’s business. They had to do something to fill the void by the total lack of affection and sexual attention from their spouses.

In one relatively recent year, a certain JW relative who is an elder told me he was attending an elders meeting on a Friday night, which happened to be Valentine's Day. I asked him why he wasn't taking his wife out for the holiday, and he immediately responded with the "we don't celebrate SAINT Valentine etc." I said, "no, you and the other elders are too cheap to take your wives out for Valentine's Day." This is just another example of the neglect of JW ladies discussed in this thread.
