This doesn't seem to be happening in the UK. I asked an elder confidentially and he genuinely seemed to know nothing about it. Maybe he isn't keeping up.

Was that the actual talk recorded at the hall or a practice version? Good effort, factual accurate and thought provoking. Expect questions from the uncles.

Naturalism is Dead - Why Are Believers Stuck in the Past?
by Perry insigmund freud, karl marx and charles darwin are considered the pillars of modern western thought.
they differed in many ways but had one thing in commonthey were reductionists who claimed that all higher realms of existence could be explained by lower natural causes.
they were the pillars of naturalism.. but their ideas were tested during the twentieth century and found wanting.

I have just scanned this proposition, and have decided to take off my clothes and practice naturism. FREEDOM.
There is a tacit appeal to ignorance in this argument. If we don't understand it, it must be big sky-daddy. If we do understand it and start manipulating natural things to our own benefit we are playing god.

UC that is exactly the point. WT are on the horns of an impossible dilemma, a complete conundrum. They have to stick with 6000 years fo Adam's creation or the ransom is clap trap. It is the bible or science, even guided evolution doesn't cut it.
This is one reason that the whole bible implodes to just interesting anecdotes and aphorisms.

Premarital sex--how prevalent?
by wafflesandpancakes inin my old congregation, everyone seems clean.
mostly chaste courtship, kingdom hall wedding, blah blah.. well there are lots of cases of fondling but they were soon forgotton.
when my husband and i confessed to sex before marriage, the elders were disgusted.

One thing that seems universal is that every one else seems to get more than you do, especially when you are young and full of hormones. i had lots of fun during my adolescence, there was plenty of groping and heavy breathing but the idea of pre-marital sex or anything flesh to flesh leading to it was a total taboo.
The level of sexual frustration and pent up desire after steamy dates could have powered a small city. In my selfish, ignorant youth it never crossed my mind that this may have been reciprocal, if I had realised my future may have been very different.
The worst thing abbout it was the festering guilt. I think that the whole religion runs on it like gas in its tank. I hope kids now have thrown off the big brother in the sky watching everything you do complex and just get on with enjoying their lives. Just do it responsibly.
