Girls Have Cow-Like Sex Drive According To Watchtower
by AlanF inhow can girls guard against temptation in this sex-crazy world?.
when a girl reaches the age of puberty or physical maturity, her body has developed in the matter of sex more than in the mind.
young folks like to be together, first in groups, later in twos.

One of our daughters in law said this:
by Mulan inour daughter in law, tracey, who was never a jw, is a hair stylist.
i went to the place she works for a haircut the other day, and was telling her about the big party at joy and steve's last month.
we talked about a lot of things about the party, and then she said this:.

She thinks Dave (me a little bit) is the most balanced one she knows of all ex JW's (because he still believes in God),
In other words she grades other peoples balance by determining how much they agree with her religious/spiritual viewpoint. Exactly who is displaying a similar attitude to the JW's here?

KM Question Box May 2003
by expatbrit inthe may 2003 question box in the km has a little piece which demonstrates how the wt feels about the wishes of non-jw's.. when witnessing by telephone, what should we do if a person requests that jehovah's witnesses not call again?.
the wishes of the person should be respected.
a dated note with the name of the person should be placed in the territory envelope so that publishers will avoid calling that number in the future.

The May 2003 Question Box in the KM has a little piece which demonstrates how the WT feels about the wishes of non-JW's.
When witnessing by telephone, what should we do if a person requests that Jehovah's Witnesses not call again?
The wishes of the person should be respected. A dated note with the name of the person should be placed in the territory envelope so that publishers will avoid calling that number in the future. Once a year, the list of people who have requested that we not call should be reviewed. Under the direction of the service overseer, experienced, tactful publishers can be assigned to contact these people to determine their current feelings. - See the January 1994 Our Kingdom Ministry Question Box.
OK, the first thing that jumps out here is the ridiculous self-contradiction of the answer. First they say that a person's wishes to not be called on should be respected, then they give instructions which basically say to call on that person anyway!
It's pretty obvious that when someone says "don't call me again", they're not saying "you can call me once a year to see how I feel." The Watchtower is showing contempt for people's wishes and forcing their religion upon those who have clearly expressed a wish not to be harassed in this way.
What about legal aspects? If a person sues the Watchtower for making a once a year call after a request that they do not call, it would appear from the above that the congregation's own files provide evidence that the person's right to be left alone has been violated. It would be interesting to see how a test case went.

My moral or ethical decision to help someone is based on my beliefs
by onacruse ingamaliel, first of all i thank you for being so open about your feelings.
i trust that my openness in return is not offensive.
since you suggested that we pick this topic up on another thread, i offer to start: my moral or ethical decision to help someone is based on my beliefs, not theirs.. .

Craig:
Another good thread. You're kicking ass lately.
What do you think of the concept that our ethics and morals are determined by our perceived self-interest?
