  Have you ever gone back to a meeting out of curiosity?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  just wondering if anyone has gone back to a meeting out of curiosity?

  (perhaps to an area far from your old khall where you know no one).

  with all the changes from 2012 onwards (videos, tv screens, new meeting format, new songs etc) it would be an odd experience to be in attendance!.

  I have thought about showing up, but I have always been able to quickly dismiss these thoughts.

  Masturbation is discussed by the organisation as if it's a young persons problem. But it's hard to imagine that someone like Sanderson who is single and in his 50s doesn't have a battle with this all the time. If the organisation was sincere about this issue the surely it would have been more appropriate for Sanderson to give the talk and he could have related, from personal experience, how he deals with the matter.

  If a person does not ejaculate regularly he is at risk for prostate cancer.

  This may be a problem for their overlapping generation theory. If he is gone, they will probably have to change their "scriptural understanding." If the GB was smart they would encourage Sanderson to lose 50 pounds and to wack-off at least 3 times a week (which is probably already doing).

  Pillowgate: a heterosexual male's review

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my first impressions watching it, coming from a heterosexual male, was that it was just plain ridiculous (big surprise, i know), but i just want to share some thoughts as to why.. regarding the hypothetical scenario of two guys asking each other if they've ever woken up with an erection and other stuff like that: no, that would not arouse me.

  i'm talking with a male, which i'm not sexually attracted to, and assuming he's a friend, it's just a casual conversation that i'm mature enough to handle.

  the only way this is flirting (and then only maybe) is if one of us is gay.

  I wonder if these talks give the Bethelites ideas that might to never have occurred.

  For example, I was totally unaware that porn was a big thing on the internet (this was in the 90s), until a comment from an elder at a meeting suggested this was a problem. As soon as I cam home from the meeting I discovered internet porn. My life has never been the same since.

  Yes, Cedars was long-winded. But the Rebuttal video was worth watching.

  I was a young kid at a KH. But that was many years ago. I am now over 60.

  Young ones are not interested in the boring dribble coming from the platform. Since they have no history, discussions about generations, 1914, last days have no meaning. Pluse, meeting are very boring. You probably have figured that out.

  Why are Bethelites sitting on each other's laps getting erections? The set of circumstances that create this problem is beyond my imagination. What is going on in Warwick?

  does anyone know where i can get a pdf version of this book?

  i’ve always wanted a physical copy but those seem really hard to come by, and if you look online they’re super expensive.

  thank you.. -jules.

  It looks like you can acquire a book via Amazon, assuming you are able to get a second mortgage on your house. Given the market price of this book, I think I will see my copy.

  i thought this video was pretty well done and mildly entertaining to watch.. on another note, i am really hoping some clever ex-jws will do their own animation series with caleb and sophia as young adults trying to leave the org.

  that would be awesome.
