I wouldn't be surprised if they started announcing at the meetings (or passing one of those "unanimous" resolutions) that there was a deficit at a recent convention and that they needed to send some amount of money to the branch to help "offset the cost." This will then be broken down to a per-publisher figure and suggested that they donate to offset the money that they're already sending to the branch.
OEJ, I hope Lett isn't listening to this conversation.

They actually covered oral and anal at an elders training just a few years ago.
Not again,
I was around in the 70s-80s when they said it was wrong for married couples. I saw a lot of divorces because it was considered fornication. Heck, I still know some old sisters who were divorced by their husbands and kicked out into the curb and then the men married younger wives. The sisters are still single.

A major change will come not from the Watchtower but from our side... it's only a matter of time before before the Apostate community responds in a way beyond forums, Facebook groups and YouTube.Real world interaction. It's coming.
I never thought of that.

If the GB do encourage this then they could also deal with issues re. married couples doing oral and having sex for pleasure by saying that 'New Light' shows us that sex should only be used for procreation.
I'd better stop now ... I don't want to be giving them ideas
Yes stop, one of my young jw friends would hate you because he just married someone that looks like this;

I think she has flashes of awakening
Thanks for that, I know I can't give up hope. Something might happen to wake up those we love.

1914 is going to go
I wish,
but I think that's asking for to much.
what is a cult and what is a religion?
its open to debate.
who has the authority to say for certain what is a cult and what is a religion?

(True…which is why the best people to consult would be those who study cults, like Hassan, Lipton, Festinger and other trained professionals, rather than say...Joe Sixpack)
Guilty as charge. That's the problem when we are still in, we only listen to what the GB said a cult was. The only difference is the GB don't have a sixpack.

I personally try not to use the word cult anymore. If you use that word with a JW, they will run the 100 yard dash in 9 seconds flat. And that includes grandmothers. I have found that if I use the term "High Control Groups." they will at least listen to what I have to say.
