The chief reason I got married was to AVOID sex! (Of a religiously termed "illicit" nature.)

60's Sexual Revolution to the outing of Powerful Predators
by TerryWalstrom inin the late 1960's a big change happened in sexual culture in the u.s. and england.women asserted their "right" to become more aggressive and obtrusive in their dealings with men.
however, the louts, the jerks, the hyper-aggressive males were only encouraged (in their male fantasies) to lower women even more as a result of this.
bra burning, short skirts, "free sex", was seen as a green light to do as you please and to relegate "respect for women" to discarded and antiquated manners of a bygone generation.i was in a puritanical religious cult during all this.when all the "fun" began, i was either in prison or going door to door peddling end of the world scenarios.the chief reason i got married was to avoid sex!

1975... the year that keeps on giving.
by silentbuddha inso i recently moved back to my really really really small hometown in the south.
it was the place that my parents moved to from a major city up north in the early 1970's.
when we lived here times were very tough financially and i was always told that the reason we did not attend meetings was due to the fact that we had no car / no gas for the car / could not afford repairs for the years we were there.

Another bachelor, the king ruling since 1914, could then proceeds with the wedding with his bride, the then complete "New Jerusalem".
Very keen observation. Seems that it would serve ironic justice if the marriage of the lamb would coincide with the date of the marriage of Adam to Eve.
Given the Bible, it would be ironic if everything converged: Gentile times, end 6000 years, 1914 ( sounds like Nisan 14), destruction of human government at the feet of iron and clay), etc. Oh.. the irony.

Why isn't Lazarus my next-door neighbor?
by return of parakeet inafter looking through doug mason's "ransom" thread, i noticed a little discrepancy between dub doctrine and the bible; i.e.
lazarus.. if the wages of sin is death, lazarus paid the wages in full by dying, and when resurrected by jesus, he should then have been a "perfect" man.
after all, he paid his wages for his imperfection -- he died.

Lazarus is of the heavenly class, resurrected to die after Jesus. ( according to wt doctrine )

Jesus had not paid the ransom yet so everlasting life was not yet available or something like that?

Given 1975 and that the date of Eve's creation is a variable: Adam was still a bachelor at age 42 -and counting.

Panpsychism - a philosophy with a future
by slimboyfat inat one time scientists believed that living things and non-living things were made of different material, accounting for the unique properties of living things.
this idea is called vitalism and is no longer popular.
what does remain popular (in fact is still the dominant view) is a similar idea that things that experience the world (humans, frogs, mice) are different from things that don't experience the world (potatoes, rocks, snowflakes).

Panpsychism is the idea that experience is a property of all matter, and that human consciousness is different in degree rather than kind from the rest of the universe.
Enjoyed reading your interesting post, SBF!

The end of this system is so very near.....NOT
by RULES & REGULATIONS inworld headquarters of jehovah's witnesses - warwick, new york.
“yes, the end of this system is so very near!
is that no reason to increase our activity?… reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service.

While the Faithful and Discreet Slave keep promising that the end is near,
JW would not be impressed if angel materialized, or with any other imperical evidence. That would not add one iota to the faith they already have. What JW want and are anxiously waiting for is vindication and relief. FDS can't make that happen.

I agree there are ethical issues and i dont want any church reporting on confidential minutia, sexual dalliances or even income tax fraud....
You are confused. It ain't about ethics. It is about crimes.
