ENYOY SEX!!!!! the society says it is only for the purpose of procreation. Why can't it just be fun?
The Society does not say that sex is only for procreation.
So have at it baby!!!
P.S. Sex is just with your spouse and remember... no licky or sucky the sweaty areas!!!

No expert here.
But to me, if you believe in the Bible, it would have obviously been recorded if Jesus were married with kids.
If you don't believe in the Bible then who cares?

The Message in Music??
by WTWizard ini have seen and heard many times where witlesses are supposed to pay attention to the lyrics in the kingdumb maladies.
they are supposed to sing them out, and enjoy the "music(??
)" before the grand boasting session sessions.. now, i have seen one suggestion by an independent-thinking group.

Strictly for the sake of accuracy:
The WT never officially condemned bands by name (mentioned a few on occasion) nor did they ever state that KISS was an acronym for 'Knights In Satan's Service'.
Certain 'do-good' Brothers started putting out lists of bands on their own but that practice was actually shut down and discouraged.
The WT never puts out "blacklists" of songs.
And most importantly....
"Life Is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back" was NEVER a classic!
BTW: I'd rather CRANK 2112 than go in field service any day too!

Not a Choice for Christians
Whatever health instructors may say to the contrary, yoga does not stop with physical exercises. The book Hindu Manners, Customs and Ceremonies relates the experiences of two yoga novitiates who were under the guidance of a guru. One is quoted as saying: "I made superhuman efforts to hold my breath as long as possible, and only breathed when I was on the point of fainting. . . . One day, at high noon, I thought I saw a bright moon, which seemed to move and sway from side to side. Another time I imagined myself enveloped in thick darkness at midday. My director . . . was greatly pleased when I mentioned these visions to him. . . . The time was not far distant, he assured me, when I should experience much more surprising results from my penance." The second man relates: "He obliged me to stare at the sky every day without blinking my eyes or changing my position. . . . Sometimes I thought I saw sparks of fire in the air; at others I seemed to see fiery globes and other meteors. My teacher was much pleased with the success of my efforts."
The strange sights were evidently what the gurus felt were proper results along the way to the true aim of yogic exercises. Yes, the ultimate goal of yoga is moksha, explained as the merging with some impersonal great spirit. It is described as "the (intentional) stopping of the spontaneous activity of the mind stuff." This is clearly contrary to the goal set out for Christians, who are given the admonition: "Present your bodies a sacrifice living, holy, acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason. And quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over, that you may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God."— Romans 12:1, 2 .
Many enjoy healthy activities that do
not involve exposure to spiritismThe choice of what physical exercise to pursue is a personal one. Christians, however, would not allow anything—be it bodily training, eating, drinking, clothing, entertainment, or something else—to mar their relationship with Jehovah God. ( 1 Corinthians 10:31 ) For those exercising simply for the sake of their health, there are many avenues available that do not involve exposure to the dangers of spiritism and occultism. By keeping clear of practices and beliefs that are rooted in false religion, we may look forward to God's blessing of a righteous new system of things in which we can enjoy perfect health in body and mind for an eternity.— 2 Peter 3:13 ; Revelation 21:3, 4 .

Shuning the shunner
by loosie inmy daughter goes to a school where one of the office personel is a jw.
my hubby is df'd i haven't been to a meeting in 3 years.
when we go into the office and have to talk to her she directs all of her responses to me even if my husband is the one that asked the question.. once my husband went in there with my daughter and this person didn't direct her answers to my husband who asked the question, but to my daughter who was just tagging along.. this is stupid.
