Don't feel bad Annie, I've run into the same problem. Anytime I try to look up a scripture not supporting their take on a certain doctrine in the NWT, it seems to never be listed in the back. How convenient that is!

Hey! Is this encouraging masturbation???
by starfish422 infrom http://quotes.watchtower.ca/women.htm : (highlighting mine) it is high time for girls to understand the make-up of their bodies and its functions, especially with regard to sex.
then if a girl understandingly takes care of herself while the ovum is at large and is causing sex disturbance and cravings within her, she will be able to act like a true lady of irreproachable morals at all times.
she will avoid the violating of her virginity and the shame and conscience-stricken state due to this; and wisely she will direct her young life so as to end up in the position of a clean, happy wife and mother of legitimate children, journeying to the new world of righteousness, where there will be no sex problems amid a sex-crazy population.

Yes sure seems like its shouting "Masturbation" to me. I can't see how it could have any other meaning in the way it was written.

I feel its largely due to them being afraid to deal with their JW past and eventually the guilt and fear draws them back to the so called "life saving ark". Ive seen this happen to many people, but its like I say, you can't be helped unless you seek and want help. I do know though as a believing JW it is a very scary thing to read contrary information critical of the WTBTS. When they have impounded in your mind that doing so will send you to the second death as an apostate it takes alot of courage to look at and comprehend. I guess some have the courage to do it and some dont and so they remain trapped within a high control group.

September 1st Watchtower: The Mennonites
by Ring Wielder inin the sept 1st watchtower, an article entitled: 'mennonites search for bible truth', i came across this paragraph...
' in bolivia, for instance, an estimated 38.000 mennonites live in numerous remote colonies, each with different rules of conduct.
some colonies forbid motor vehicles, permitting only horses and buggies.

This is bullshit. I hate this hypocritical crap coming from the top of the pyramid, makes me sick. Yet if the charge was fornication or something the elders would be sniffing all over someones arse to find something to df them. Pedophilia they cover up because "it would ruin Jehovah's name". BULLSHITE it would, it would ruin the WTBTS's image plain and simple, they are only protecting their own arses. What a bunch of lowlifes, I hope that freedom of religion law gets changed because you would think in 21st century a victim would be more important then a damn money making religion.

Demonic exorcism by a JW elder
by out of the box inwe moved into an apartment on the 2nd floor.
we were jws at the time, and the family on the first floor under us was studying.. the girl downstairs started hearing noises during the night and finally hearing steps up to the side of her bed.
she was so scared she hadn't slept in a while and was so tired.

Your mind can do strange things, its like seeing the green frog or a bright light. You can vividly see it, yet it does not exist other then in your mind. I remember reading that in a psychology book, taking examples of people who earnestly swore they seen apparitions and aura's luminating from people. Now im not saying it can't be true as its what I consider unexplained, and it's difficult to say one way or the other. Im a tad bit skeptical though but I do believe their is some sort of energy or power out their but I find it hard to believe that some object or form is needed for a spirit to become attached to a person or place. Possibly but I attribute that thought mostly to JW folklore, and I don't really believe any JW urban legends. If this really happened yes it would be very eery to say the least, damn wish it happened to me then I wouldn't be a skeptic. lol Although I have witnessed some strange events.

she is a Jehovah's Witness and it is against her faith to gamble.
According to the New York Post, Williams was gambling
Williams stayed true to her faith. As she was leaving she gave back all the chips she had won worth around $400 to a stranger at a table.Wow she sure stayed true to her faith. "Against her faith to gamble, according to New York Post, Williams was gambling."
Uhhh I don't think she stayed true to her faith. Typical hypocrite dub, and then appeases her conscience by giving the money away. Oh well I guess when you got lots of money for the donation box the Witnesses turn a blind eye.

Only Jehovah appoints elders ?
by KAYTEE inprior to my resignation from the jws, i heard a taped talk by bro.
kite (appeared to be an american from the bethell) where he spoke about some-one in a communist country joining the org.
and making his way "up the ladder", eventually finishing up as a district overseer.

The following is a link to another topic about Jim's book that he is publishing but its interesting in that it shows that the governing body knows nothing of the people they sppoint to CO's. Good to see the holy spirit really working in a society appointed representative. lol
