WTS soon to be in World of Hurt !!!
by Amazing in
1. jw

the state of california is now considering legistlation to make it easier, in fact very easy, for a victim of pedophilia to sue the church (catholic church is main target of legislation) for significant monetary damages - perhaps shifting the burden of proof somewhat to the perpetrators (priests) and their religious organizations who knew of these child molesters and shifted them around to different parishes.

the watchtower religion will also be significantly affected as the legislation is generic enough to include all religious organizations.

what else will be of concern to the watchtower religion?

I kinda feel out of tune with the board
by Kingpawn in
1. jw
2. friends
i've read lots of the threads over the past months, and think i understand the board's "makeup" of people (and please correct me if i'm wrong).

if i'm right, i might have a hard time relating to what the rest of you have gone through.. i became a jw in 1979 or so, and spent more time studying to be one than being one.

i was df'ed a short time later, briefly went through an effort to rejoin, and called it off when my first child was born.

Are women naturally "Bi" ?
by refiners fire in
1. social

just a question.

actually a friend of mine, alex, (who hopefully might read this and commence posting on this board) has been insisting for 20 years that women are naturally bi sexual.

i laughed at his claims.. but now, looking around here, and based on numerous group chats ive had with women on this site, there seems to be some evidence that his theory is correct.

Self-Gratification

okay, i'm not trying to start a fight - really!

but i've had this strange question/opinion and wanted to put it out for discussion.. we know how the wt says masturbation is wrong - which i believe is a load of "crud.

" i mean, everybody does it - it's perfectly natural, normal, human, and necessary (especially for men, crucial to being in a decent mood).. so, if jesus was a perfect human, do you all suppose he did?

Question for good boy's gone bad?
by butalbee in
1. social
2. relationships
i've read on this website countless threads about girls getting involved, falling head over feet in love with dubs.

supposingly good dubs, who want their cake with extra frosting on top, so to speak.... me being one of those girls, who fell in love with the wrong guy--knows exactly how they feel--one way or another they've gonna get hurt, and i think i've replied with the "run for your life" type statement--in truth, it is really the only sane choice.

i know why we fall helplessly infatuation w/ these dud's--they're charming, well mannered, well dressed, kind, innocently sexy, they look great in a suit, and i guess, in my case, i used to invision myself taking off his suit: first the tie, then unbuttoning his shirt with my mouth, and well--okay--i am again meandering off the path.. here is my question and it is for all the male jw's that may read this: if you know it is wrong to get involved with worldly women, then why do you pursue us?????
