People who want until marriage to have sex have a much lower divorce rate than those who engage in premarital sex.

The Effects of Sexual Abstinence Before Marriage
by cofty invery interesting article on the psychology of sexual abstinence and the effects it can have on sex life after marriage.
it focusses on an evangelical group for single men called "the river" but the attitudes will be familiar to born-in jws.. ___________________________.
..respondents had been told, since they were young, that women were nonsexual.

Thanks for the responses. I am baptized and I left 8 years ago because I disagreed with the the idea that the GB is God's sole channel of communication. My life has been terrible every since. I can't really express my thoughts well because I'm having health issues at the moment that makes it difficult for me to organize my thoughts. A combination of complete isolation and very poor mental and physical health makes me feel extremely vulnerable. I need some form of support to help me get through this period of my life. It seemed like great timing for the JWs to visit me when they did, but the fact that I didn't hear from anyone since was kind of a let down. I say the world is immoral now because people are selfish and don't care about others anymore. Perhaps I'm biased in this thinking from being abused and neglected by my own family. Materialism and individualism is celebrated more now than any time in human history. This is a topic for a another thread but I'm just trying to help you see where I'm coming from and why I had a desire to join people who I thought was less materialistic and cared more about humanity. -

I don't want to go to deep into it but I don't like the direction the world is going. People are just more immoral and hateful these days. It's like choosing the lesser of two evils. Things have gotten so bad that I feel JWs are more sane than the average worldly person now. I guess I feel like I fit in more with JWs than I do with the world. Right now I feel isolated. -

6 weeks ago some JWs came to my door. I've been inactive for 8 years. After they gave their presentation I told them I was inactive. I gave them my name, age, cell phone number, and the name of my old congregation. The JW elder at the door gave me his number as well. 6 weeks past and I haven't heard from them or my old congregation. I assumed someone from their congregation or my old congregation would have contacted me by now. I gave them my information because I was seriously considering returning. I have mixed feelings about this.
