Boys pre-teen sexuality / erections.? Why ? If only for procreation ?

by smiddy3 in

this has been a bug bear my whole life i think and not really sure how to address it as nobody else ever seems to do so.. and it relates to the question if god really created humans .

he did a shithouse job in this regard.. i can`t speak for females this is entirely a male thing.

from my perspective.. male adolescents at a very ,very young age , babies , get erections periodically and it has nothing to do with sexual fantasies ,because they don`t even have an awareness of sex between a male and a female at this time.. and it is second inbuilt nature to masturbate to relieve, get rid of the erection .

I remember hearing some sisters talking about another being pregnant and them hoping she had a girl as boys "have penises"...

What happens to Bethelites?

by rickroll in

so if someone puts their life into serving the cult for free at bethel, then say after 25 or 30 years they are not able to for one reason or another such as illness, or family issue or old age, does the cult have any safety net for these people or is it you serve until you can't and when you can't you just go away?

Tiki. Some thing that confirmed further my wake up was the number of books written by ex bethelites detailing their experiences.

It was a further release of wt infuence (effluence?) when I began to send small gifts of money to my grand kids and cheeky sms to my kids.

"Having gratefully lived to another star-timed milestone is always occasion for satisfaction, celebration of life. imho"

Jehovah's Witnesses Announce Plans to Build Giant Media Center

by iwantoutnow in

omg!

this has to be more of "keeping the flock busy and excited" so as not to notice whats going on.. how did i miss this?????

the jehovah's witnesses announced plans to build a 1.5 million-square-foot audio-visual production center in upstate new york, two miles away from the witnesses' headquarters in warwick.

zeb

"in response to heavy demand".. really? From who..When did the gb ever listen to the concerns of the flock.

Perhaps they see the end of witnessing and are now becoming another 'electric-church'..

latest WT, advice for Bible Studies

by neat blue dog in

our goal is to help our bible student to grow spiritually.. .

as his love for jehovah grows, however, he will likely begin to think about how he can help others, including those who are already part of the congregation.

"the workers had to stay after closing time to do so. It was reported that the only tip left was a copy of a pocket-size book that was released earlier that week at the convention."

What a splendid witness that was of being a bunch of miserly self righteous jerks.

Those restaurant workers Im sure had buses/trains to catch and families to go to.
