Sex before marriage

by Jules Saturn in

for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.

what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?

in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

I only lost virginity at 21 due to being orphaned and survival / life pressure coupled with anxiety stemming from my situation. I didn't like the girl that much and after a month or so called it quits. I couldn't believe how easily my friends would stick it in with such a flippiant and careless attitude. I saw many working class blue collar pregnancies that scared the hell out me, so no more relationships again till my 30th.

I can't help but feel the creators purpose or man and wife with regarding the sex act, that and being somewhat emo I hate hurting peoples feelings. It's a big deal with penetration takes the whole thing to another level that I wasn't prepared to deal with.

Mt thirties were spent catering to my cock's desires and back then tried the phone dating hook up scene prior internet. Luckily for me no pregnancies followed as there were a couple bareback moments.. stupid I know

Got into JW late thirties, dated a little could of led to marriage but again was me opting out before things got serious. Now I figure am just not cut out to be in any relationship. Basically sex equals marriage according to the scriptures..

Now in my fifties if an when I meet someone compatible no problems with it but there will have to be a serious long term relationship otherwise not worth the pain to me, freedom is my friend

I never dwelt on them when I was in as I had the gut feeling they were off.. there were a few but the skelatal hand in the revelation book and the one with the gargoyl face on the picture frame / lamp with the seventies hipster couple was weird alright..

The Stern magazine one of Pascal Petit threw me for a loop a few years ago, I was UPSET. The dark haired babe in the background was supposed to be that Italian girl who was said to of done auto. writing in the headquarters basement as the artist knew her family well. Ravyn Guilianai I believe it was.

The rabbit hole goes deep.

Forgiveness

by Freedom rocks in

if someone does the same things over and over again and says sorry and then does it again and you point out that their apologies don't mean anything anymore, then they accuse you of not being forgiving enough, who is in the wrong?

(i mean as in constantly over a long period of time).

im trying to work out whether it was just part of the persons mental/ emotional manipulation tactics or whether i have the wrong view and i'm not forgiving enough.

Good short word here that I use more often now that I'm middle aged, took me half a lifetime to learn : NO

Phrase I've decided to user more often today : You're not my lord nor master

OP : learn to lookout for yourself, JW certainly did not

They came by yesterday while I was running an errand of course.. left me an invite to the 'Soyez Courageux' 2018 Assemblée des Témoins de Jéhovah in Québec City of all places. Like I live in the Laurentians north of St-Jérome bro.. wtf that's 350 km ( 4 hours ) from my place. Meanwhile am pretty sure they had their own assembly at the Montreal assembly hall.

Busy work to get rid of old stock and tracts is all it is, I've seen it before with outdated memorial tracts : pathetic and selfish just looking out for themselves

Welcoming Our Latest JW Apologist JTrottigy

by pale.emperor in

i'd like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome our newest jw apologist jtrottigy.

.

he'll likely only be here for a few days like most jw defenders before he runs away when presented with his own doctrine.. so far he's already said some hilarious stuff, like "there's no such thing as nepotism in jehovah's organisation", "confidentiality is paramount to elders" and, my personal favourite "the overlapping generation is so simple to understand".. yh don't think i don't remember you from jwtalk..

This is a start, I felt relieved after having read through most of Keith's posts going back years. Turning point moment in my life :

Read them sitting down.

Weclome JT ( if you're real ) Pick-up a copy of both of Ray Franz's books if you can. Also read up on Keith Casarona's NEW BOY Bethel series here for real life experiences of what it was like to live and work at Bethel. After having done these assignments please report back what you've found and let us know if you still want to contribute time, effort and money to the WT. Best wishes in your spiritual journey.

The 'IN' families

by punkofnice in

one thing i don't miss about being a jobo, is those families that ruled the congregations.. i've seen how the elders protected their own using our old friend, nepotism.. eg.

the son of an elder that stole a car and was prosecuted but 'let off' because it was kept secret and all his relatives were elders in the same congregation.

it certainly went on when i was an elder but i wasn't one of the 'in' crowd.

Introvert 2

Wild_ThingThere were so many big dynasty JW families related to each other, I am convinced there had to be inbreeding in the congregation I grew up in.

I've seen it myself in the few congregations I've been in north of Montreal. Young born in's marrying within same or close by congs. and breeding like rabbits to the extent that everyone is somehow related. It's weird and stomach churning but to them seems quite normal and happyfing.. and I'm sure the Borg is quite pleased ! Then to add insult to injury I'd get to hear the elders gush about so and so being an item and how such a wonderful young attractive couple willadorn Jehovah ! ( remember it's all about appearances and social climbers )
