most of the witnesses i knew never really talked about sex.
whatever couples did was pretty much kept quiet.
every once in a while a wife might complain to the elders or a friend that the husband is too demanding or even immoral because of the sex practices the husband wanted.
i started courting my girlfriend--a born in dub--when i was 18--she 17 . Both virgins. We never went "all the way"--but came pretty close. Oral sex most weekends.
We got married when i was 20. The marriage somehow lasted 13 years--till i played away with another married sister. Instant divorce.
since then ive been married 3 more times..in between had numerous sexual adventures.
I'm 73 now--happily married to my lovely wife 23 years younger than me..and everything works just fine.
i find it interesting that we live in a cancel culture.
the influencers go after abraham lincoln, uncle ben , aunt jemima, the flag, the national anthem, people they perceive as not following their agenda.
in the midst of all of this, rap music and its dehumanizing culture are off limits to talk about.
what is a ho ?

Rap=crap.
i think we all know that if they are used alone it would be a no no, but what about in a marriage?
are there limits such as vibrators ok but torso with dildo not ok?.
they most likely stand on the pointed end.
does anyone know when and how the change took place?
is the "day age" theory still the current position of watchtower?.
If you choose to believe in an almighty god--its perfectly reasonable to also believe he made it all in 6 days. Why make life complicated ?
hi friends i`ve finally got an appointment to go to hospital tomorrow ,pre-admission for my hip replacement surgery.. so if you don`t hear from me ever again ,it means i`ve carked it .lol, should i even joke about that ?.
so its goodnight from me till who knows when ?.
good news SM3--i was only thinking earlier we hadnt heard from you for a while.
can a person resign from being one of jehovah’s witnesses?.
frequently asked questions.
a person can resign from our organization in two ways:.
i resigned in the early 70's--before 1975.
It was at the end of a committee meeting i had been invited to attend. There was no case to answer..but at the conclusion i announced i was no longer a JW and and to address me as Mr S***** or by my first name.
It must have been accepted because in early 1981 there was a d'fing of a female member of the congregation, and at the announcement i was also mentioned but couldnt be d/f'd because i hadnt been a witness for years . I was however labelled as apostate and should be treated the same as a d/f person.
But i wasnt there ..& couldnt care less.
march of last year covid was declared a pandemic that would take hundreds of millions of lives world wide.. here are the facts after a year.. the world population is 7,800,000,000 (billions).
114,770,269 millions of people have caught the virus as of today.
aprox 91 million recovered from the virus,.
all these theories..
why would a government effectively shut down their country's economy if it wasnt in the best attempt to save many lives ?
( please--no more "great reset" crap)
apparently , some bright spark has created a new sexuality - super-straight - and posted it on twitter.
it's a new sexuality that means people who are exclusively attracted to cisgender males or females.
it was made because some people are saying you aren't straight if you don't date transgender people.
i'm just plain straight..attracted to women..but i am rather particular...they must have a pulse.
i recently had an online exchange with an active jw about the blood issue.
he originally wanted to talk about the potential dangers of transfusions but i pointed out that the risks of transfusions have nothing whatsoever to do with the reason that jws reject blood, and therefore i didn’t see any value in debating that topic.. not able to let it go, he then insisted that the blood mandate was a common theme throughout the bible, quoting acts 15:29.. it’s been a while since i looked into the subject, and i admit i’m now a little rusty when it comes to recalling where to find biblical quotes, but i remembered that there are passages in both the new and old testaments that, when read in the context of the time they were written, call into question the watchtower’s rendition of acts 15:29.. i offered to do some bible research and get back to the jw, suggesting that rather than letting our discussion become combative, we could have an informative and interesting exchange of ideas.
i reassured him that i was not looking to undermine his convictions, in fact i was more than happy to be corrected if my thinking was wrong.
Didnt former member Cofty write the same thing a year or 2 back ?
