  It's just one of those things that seems like a good idea at the time! https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/0e2b5a02-7b7e-4cad-8147-e8820cee55f8

  Relaxed rules toward oral sex?

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  these people won't state anything definitively, but here's an excerpt from the study article entitled "making christian marriage a success", in the august, 2016 watchtower.

  it does make me wonder.. although the bible does not provide specific rules about the kinds and limits of love play that might be associated with natural, sexual intimacy, it mentions displays of affection.

  (song of solomon 1:2; 2:6) christian marriage partners should treat each other with tenderness.

  I've always regarded oral sex as being extremely affectionate, so that blows the JW argument about perversion right out the water.

  thank you watchtower society.. thank you for converting my parents into jehovah's witnesses.

  i really was getting bored with christmas and birthdays and the 5 meetings every week were so much more fun than boring old children's parties.. thank you for getting me out knocking on doors solo at age 10. much better than kicking a football around.

  it was a pleasure to see the astonished looks on my school mates faces when i knocked on their doors, especially on christmas day.

  Thank you Watchtower Society.

  Thank you for converting my parents into Jehovah's witnesses. I really was getting bored with Christmas and Birthdays and the 5 meetings every week were so much more fun than boring old children's parties.

  Thank you for getting me out knocking on doors solo at age 10. Much better than kicking a football around. It was a pleasure to see the astonished looks on my school mates faces when I knocked on their doors, especially on Christmas day. Being brought up as a social outcast is something everyone should try. Seeing my Dad leave off being the fun-loving party man and turn into a hyper-critical Bible puncher more than made up for the times when I would watch him making model boats and planes.

  Thank you for encouraging my parents to move where the "need is great". That big old warm house near London Airport couldn't compare with living in a caravan in the depths of darkest Yeovil in the coldest winter on record. We really soaked up the blessings when we met up with the bunch of territorial prudes that made up the local congregation.

  Thank you for finishing my education at age 15. With armageddon only 10 years away at most, what was the point of learning anything except for reading the Bible and the Societies publications. OK, so I'm now 71 years old with a minimal state pension, but, hey, who needs materialistic things when Everlasting Life is just around the corner!

  Thank you for disfellowshipping me for refusing to shun my best friend. That really taught me something about Jehovahs witnesses. Every time my Mother shunned me in the street I thought ah, this is really going to bring me to my senses.

  Thank you for the guilt, the sense of isolation, the didacticism of the elders, the boredom of the meetings and the futility of going from door to door.

  And most of all thank you for the loss of my family.

  Thank you thank you thank you.

  And finally..thank you to ME for having the balls to get out of that awful cult, marry a good woman and bring up a family free from guilt and manipulation!

  I recall the days when Kingdom melodies were more like military marches. I used to find this one really rousing once the first instrumental verse had finished.

  Can two men or two women ever marry in WT land? That should answer your question. It IS discriminatory.

  Yes indeed. How interesting it would have been if laws had then be in force then for same-sex couples to marry and these two had been in such an arrangement prior to their contact with JW's. I'm sure this scenario is going to crop up soon and am fascinated to watch how it might play out.

  Will we see a new "get a divorce before baptism" edict coming from HQ one day I wonder?

  i was born into the elastic fact, tract & knock knock club, as it is known to some, but most often you will hear them referred to as "the worst thing i've ever been through.

  "i had the typical jw early life of forced compliance by sadistic joy killing narcissists.

  i learned early on that 'new light' doesn't come from stifled children and there was no suggestion box at my house.. when i was 6 my parents divorced and my mom quickly remarried and we moved from portland to the oregon coast.

  God knows what his phone bill was. He'd sometimes ring and I'd crack open 2 or 3 tinnies while were chatting. He was one of those fellas who just loved people.

  But is it homophobic? All sexual contact between unmarried individuals is banned in WT land so I don't see that it's discriminatory.
