pope john paul ii urged husbands "not to commit adultery with their wives by desiring sex for its mere pleasure and the satisfaction of instinct" (modras: 124, of 1980).. .
we weren't exactly expecting a sex positive response, but isn't it a tad over the top, and well, you know, wrong to say that sex with your wife could even possibly be adulterous?
the argument is that having sex for pleasure, rather than procreation, is against church doctrine, but how on earth is that adulterous?
Seeing as the WT has morphed into a version of Catholicism, i can see the WT actually using this view.
"Yes brother elder, my husband desired sex just to use my body for his own fantasy and now i want a scriptual divorce because thats a form of adultery"...

see page 15-16. full of "straw men" like:.
* do not blame yourself it is the child that jehovah blames - parents do not care whose fault it is they just want their child not to be killed by god.
* it is ok for parents to hope their df'd child returns - was anybody really asking if that was wrong?.
marked to come back too...

i have been typing on the same keyboard for almost 17 years and i'm so used to it i don't want to go to another kind of keyboard if anything happens to this one.. in fact i have a backup model of the same keyboard since they are so hard to find.
it's the old ibm model m keyboard.
i love the sound of the feedback and the racket it makes compared to the newer keyboards.
no, they all put the same words on the screen.

what do you think?.
I think the 2003 yearbook account of the WT in the Philippines goes a long way to show the WT response:
NOTHING.

this link contains news of a letter sent to the elders about witnesses setting up stands to peddle literature in public places!
how desperate are they?
it sounds sad honestly... and they are told not to argue with apostates .
well it is a publishing company.
even if it is pretty much tracts and watchtowers.
what an easy way to count time though.....
Could be fun to stand nearby with ones own anti JW literature, i wonder if they would complain and try to make you go away?
