The masturbating ban goes back to the days of ancient Israel, when population growth was the obsession. Any man spilling his seed on the ground was punished. Seed should be used to make babies. One would think that with the arrival of Jesus and the Law being replaced, especially as concerns Gentiles, masturbation would be a personal matter. Actually I think birth control should probably be considered as possibly altering the morality of sex, since most of the rules were set up to protect the family unit, so kids would have parents etc. if reliable birth control existed in the time of Moses, would the rules be quite so restrictive? It's something to consider.

JWs and their views on Sex
by campaign of hate inin the past i have read on this forum that the wt have a say in the "bedroom" of couples.
i thought that was a bit overkill at first, but recently i have come to conclusion that this is true.. the control administered by the wt cooperation on ones sex life is not on only intrusive, its damaging.
they control every aspect of ones thought and action, thus leading most down a path that said corporation wants them to tread.. this path is to get married young, and then eternal loyalty the the organisation.. so how can an organisation force you to get married young?.

I think tons of witness married couples enjoy oral sex without even thinking it's bad or having any guilt about it. The watchtower comments about it were few and far between enough to not be taken seriously (at least by us) and truly, I had guilt my whole life, about everything else that I had ever done, but never about that! -

'Confused'....don't worry too much. It's all so confusing because it's not the truth. Real truth does not change like the weather. -

The JW religion has just cost me my marriage & my family life
by jambon1 inafter leaving the organisation 10 years ago i fought with everything i had to stay in my marriage and with my three children.
after a tumultuous number of years trying to maintain a happy family life while living in a divided home, it's finally over.
the religion is single handedly responsible for destroying my marriage and my family.

What is "The Truth"?
by EndofMysteries into jw's if you think about it, this is what "the truth" is..... .
"the truth" is that you must be in 'the truth' and spend every waking moment you have getting others in 'the truth'.
anything the governing body says to do is 'the truth'.

If They Stopped Shunning Tomorrow?
by cofty inimagine that the cult decided to stop shunning family members on the proviso that the dfd person was not actively trying to attack the cult.. (please don't debate whether or not this is likely - it's hypothetical).
how would you respond to your family?.
personally i think i would be less than cooperative.

I would open my arms and my heart wide. It doesn't matter if they finally had approval to talk to me, and that was the reason why they were back in my life.
Life is too short, they will be gone after a while.
It kills me every day.
