does it strike anyone else that there seems to be a vague hatred of sex among the gb?
Maybe they can't get it up???
Now I'm out, I want to make up for lost time
Let me know if i can help with that...
i have been a jw all of my life and i have never heard anyone say anything about not having sex in the ns.
did the wtbs ever actually say that?
or is a bit of wittness folklore?

the organization is so deceitful that they will tell the watchtower readers that the elders should deal mercifully with wrongdoers but in private letters or correspondence thru the circuit overseers, they will tell the elders not to allow "leaven" within their midst.
they say it's better to disfellowship and see whether someone's truly repentant afterwards rather than taking a chance to contaminate the congregation.......another example of their being two-faced is that they will tell the brotherhood not to buy homes, cars, vacations, etc.
unnecessarily as it could signal materialism, yet the watchtower society spends more money on real estate than we could ever possibly imagine but it's ok for them..........can you think of other things that show that the organization is hypocritical??
Last thing i read said that voting was a CM, but that you would be accountable for the mistakes and actions of the person you voted for. I don't think they'll D'f for it.
bin laden says new us attacks prepared
dubai (reuters) - osama bin laden warned that al qaeda was preparing new attacks inside the united states, but said the group was open to a conditional truce with americans, according to an audio tape attributed to him on thursday.
"the operations are under preparation and you will see them in your houses as soon as they are complete, god willing," said the speaker on the audio tape, who sounded like bin laden.
Download and watch the "Loose Change" documentry on 9/11 (not sure the link just google it) it will change your perspective. (at least let some doubt filter through.

Sex is one of the few things that makes me feel connected to the phyiscal world. I couldn't imagine living forever without it. I wonder what my jw spouse feels about this?

how many of you, when you were an active and zealous jw (assuming you were), were motivated by the paradise idea?
i was basically born in, so i wasn't drawn to the religion, it just was.. the whole idea of the paradise never really exicted me though.
i followed the religion and did what i did because i just believed it was the right thing to do and not so i could obtain the carrot on the end of the string.. how many of you felt the same way?
I liked the idea of being immortal (sort of) and finishing some projects. Building the tower of orthanc maybe. I think it's those ideas that keep me so interested in trans-humanism. (expansion of human self through technology) And i am thinking strongly of having myself frozen at death. Not that i have any great thing to contribute to the future, i am just really interested in seeing how things turn out.
i don't know why this has popped into my head.
just wondering about j/w weddings.. is there music?
are there any traditions used in the ceremony?
I am probably revealing to much.. But when i was getting married i told the brother that A. I didn't want Adam and Eve mentioned at all, i figured (at the time) they had screwed it up for everyone and didn't really deserve to be in my talk. B. I didn't want to say, "God's marital arrangement." I thought it sounded stupid. I told him i would say God's arrangement for marriage. But we ended up in a civil ceremony anyway. (other things happened that would very much give me away if mentioned.)
I hated KH weddings for one reason only.. "The Shulimite Maiden" They would play it as the procession song every time. Made me sick. Esp since i was drinking with that girl a few months before and and she was a slut who was feeling everybody up like a cat in heat. I didn't want to hear a song that was supposed to reflect her "chasteness"...
why is satan supposed to be so bad?
he gets the blame, sure, but what does he explicitly do?
that god had?
LMS-Chef... Does god speak to you directly so that you know you are doing the right thing? If not how do you know that what your priest is telling isn't just their interpertation of what god says? Did God tell you the bible was his word? If not how do you know that it is? Just curious....
the day of the lord god almighty draws near!!!.
turn to him and be saved from desolation!!!.
harken unto the word of god!!!.
His anger can't be unbarbqueable.. I mean everything can be eaten with a little A1...

hi everyone!
was there ever an issue as to whether you were / weren't allowed to wear shoes at a group book study in someones house , so everyone had to dump their shoes at the door?.
I have been to bookstudies like that. Always irritated me because i wear lace up boots all the time and it is a pain to take them off and put them on. I don't worry about the floors in my house. They are all hardwood and like 150 years old, i figure shoe traffic isn't going to make a difference...
