I really don't understand where they think that they have a right to tell you what to do in your bedroom. I've never read "Thou shall not jerk off or give a blow job". If my husband and I want to dress up like furries and screw each other up the ass with dildoes, it's our business! Er, not that we do that, hee hee.

I suppose telling people that "it's a conscience decision" sounds better to the public than "witnesses are not allowed to do anything fun at all"!

Celebrating Christmas is apostasy. Ok, I have a question (And I'm not being an ass, honest!) Did they change that policy? When I was going to meetings, they would always say, "We don't force our members not celebrate holidays, birthdays, yada yada. It's a conscience matter." Although you were pretty much told how your conscience should be thinking.

I think they view sex outside of marrige as worse- actually, I think that some people are so scarred from hearing about the evils of sex, they think that sex in a marriage is evil!

Huh? We were always told that we should be there all day every day! Then the next meeting that you went to, people would come up, "Where were you on Friday for the DC? We looked but didn't see you..." And it was usually the people that rarely talked to you at meeings because you weren't "spiritual enough"!

How many lives have been RUINED by the Organization? Experiences?
by BonaFide ini think that some people deserve to be excommunicated, such as pedophiles.
but what about the tens of thousands of others that have their life wrenched out from under them by being disfellowshipped?.
and what about those that have a family member that died because of not receiving a blood transfusion?

My sister was frightened into getting baptised as a teenager. She was told that she would definitely die at Armaggeddon if she wasn't baptised, our mother was going to die, and my brother and I were going to die since none of us were baptised. That's emotional blackmail- who the hell tells stuff like that to a kid?! Oh, wait...
My sister has faded and says that she really regrets getting baptised because she wasn't ready for it.

When I was growing up, one of the brothers married a woman from another congregation. They were married for about 5 years, had several kids, and then got divorced. Turns out, he was gay. The elders told him that getting married would help him. He just couldn't stand living a lie anymore. I'm not sure, but I heard that he commited suicide from the guilt that he felt- guilt for being gay, guilt for leaving his wife and kids, and guilt for leaving the organization.
That has got to be some of the stupidest advice that I've ever heard, "Getting married will cure you!" *puke*

I studied Kung Fu for a couple of years- it was a great work out, I learned how to fall properly, and it gave me confidence. I'm thinking about starting up again!

I can't imagine doing THAT in my wildest dreams.....
by AK - Jeff inputting on a three piece suit to spend a 90 degree summer day knocking on doors and trespassing!dragging an entire family, including babies and young children to three or four day meetings in an outdoor stadium, living in a seedy motel room for the week.getting home from work and spending the next six hours cramming for a 'theocratic review', getting the entire family ready to go, gulping down dinner, and speeding off to the hall, and then finally getting home around 11 pm, hurrying off to bed so that everyone could get up for work and school in the morning!going to school to explain to the teachers why little johnny can't color pictures of santa, salute the flag of his country, eat birthday cake with all the other 5 year olds, bow his head when prayer is offered, or exchange valentines with all the cute 5 year old girls in class.
and then explaining with grace why he is not immersed in a cult!well, on and on!
these things were typical of my witness life - now i cannot imagine ever doing such silly things, and especially thinking that somehow they would bring pleasure to my god!.

Can't imagine wearing a skirt with dress shoes in the middle of winter! Growing up, my family lived out of town so you really didn't want anything to go wrong with the car. But you all know, it's modest to have a skirt on in winter and evil to wear something more sensible like dress pants and boots. Just like it's modest for men to wear three piece suits when it's 90 degrees and 80% humidity out- a polo shirt would be just plain wrong!

Personally, I don't think that children should get baptised. That's a huge commitment for young people to take.
