Sexless Marriages Could Threre Be a Direct Link by Being Raised JW?

by okiesooner1966 in

i would like start by saying i having been married twice.

the first time i married a girl who was also raised a jw, sex was great when we first got married but after a couple of years it almost completely stopped.

the marriage did not last much longer i thought it was because we just grew apart and i became uninterested.

You need to do things to her that the witnesses wouldn't allow you to do. Like go down on her. I'm talking 20 minutes or more here

A hurdle I faced was convincing my wife NOT to feel guilty when I went down on her. She would actually feel like we were doing something wrong!! The years of WTS conditioning was 100% of the reason for this.

After 10 years of marriage now she is finally "into it". In fact now she loves it when I go "downtown". I actually find I have to force her to let me stay there longer as she gets fired up quickly and gets eager to "saddle up". ( I actually enjoy giving in this area - possibly more than receiving!)

I must agree with the post about cooking, whenever I cook I get the star treatment!

That sex is only for procreation

Not true. I know this has never been stated in my lifetime anyway. I dont believe the WTS has ever made this statement. Especially considering the other scripture you quoted regarding "rendering their due"

Hard evidence that the internet spells doom for the WTS

by cultswatter in

look at this tasty tidbit would ya.

compare with the 2006 service report and see that the countries that have zero growth also have the most computers per capita.

Over 6 years what happened to the 5,357 publishers and 638 Congregations!! This is a mystery like the Burmuda triangle.

Actually it is not a mystery at all. A reduction of 5,357 publishers over 638 congregations would mean the average cong size was only
8.4 pubs/cong

The reality is the average cong size increased from 59 pubs/cong to 69 pubs/cong. If the 3,164 congs in 2004 averaged only 59 pubs as in 1998 then the true reduction of cong's is shown to be only around 54.
This is really about the consolidation of congregations.

The rest is just more boring math explained in detail here http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/141694/2546498/post.ashx#2546498

Chuwg = Strong's Concordance (no. 2328 here and 2329 here , Holladay’s A Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament (p.97) and Brown Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon (p.295) gives the verbal form of the word as "to draw a circle". The noun is translated as either "circle" or "vault". Young's Literal Translation of Isa 40:22 here also gives "He who is sitting on the circle of the earth"

And why arent we allowed to study Hebrew & Greek?

What Were the "Geneologies" Of Which Paul Was Warning In 1 Tim. 1:17?

by Justitia Themis in

interesting...from the jaimeson, fausset and brown bible commentary:.

genealogies--not merely such civil genealogies as were common among the jews, whereby they traced their descent from the patriarchs, to which paul would not object, and which he would not as here class with "fables," but gnostic genealogies of spirits and aeons, as they called them, "lists of gnostic emanations" [alford].

so tertullian [against valentinian, c. 3], and irenaeus [preface].

just a side note on the picture above, did anyone else notice this????
