1/25 WT: Oral and Anal sex are a go - if she's ok with it

by neat blue dog in

he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.

a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.

generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..

Smh… the problem is, that article does NOT in fact, green light anal or oral.

In typical JW fashion it uses weasel words and phrases that can mean a lot things, but what it will mean to JW’s is “no”. Phrases like “demean her” and “bother her conscience” are glowing beacons of “dont do it” to any average JW, let alone phrases like “must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor Jehovah”.

Clearly the article is saying “dont do it!” But also saying its not a df’ing issue and warning people who engage in them to keep their mouths shut about it to keep discord down between couples who do and couples who dont.

Yea nothing has changed. Dont ever be fooled.

The fact is, its never been a religions business how men and women please each other, but because JW’dom started as a bunch of pennsylvania german repressed ultra conservative Mennonites, the org just cant get away from the roots of itself and will never change on sex.

Explanation for changes to Disfellowshipping rules at Annual Meeting

by Listener in

wally, a youtuber from jw thoughts highlighted something that was said by kenneth cook jnr in the annual meeting.

he thinks it may be removed before they publish the agm.

i doubt we would see it in writing either.. part of kenneth's talk was about the changes regarding disfellowshipping and the clip from jw thoughts youtube shows him saying -.

Justaguy

Heres the real kicker…. If you read the study articles they are going over last week, this week and next several weeks, you will see nothing has actually changed, other than they may reinstate people sooner than a year now.

thats it.

all that production about mercy and changing peoples viewpoints etc etc and they only actual change, in print (which is what matters) is that now you come back sooner.

*slow clap*

NEW LIGHT ON THE 144,000 EXPLAINED

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/heulwyd00ku?si=9az0zrsquy67v74g.

the watchtower’s approach to "new light" is, frankly, a masterclass in manipulation.

when they introduce a new interpretation or change their teachings, it's presented as a revelation, showcasing just how guided and spiritually in-tune the governing body is.

Lol at some point they will declare that the 144k relate directly to those of the GB not to those going to heaven. Its animal farm in slow motion and control is all that matters.

Maintain control for a few years, let the next group figure it out from there.

Simple truth is, PT Barnum said it best and there will always be customers for the WT.

Lest we forget

by fulltimestudent in

while (naturally) this site emphasises the sins of the jw organisation, we should never forget that the jw sins only mirror similar sins in other 'christian' organisations.. this story, featured on the web-site of australia's government owned media group (the abc) tells the story of father damian barker, a roman catholic priest in perth w.a., who was guilty of sexually abusing young boys.

the rc church reluctantly admits to such behaviour (a similar reluctance mirrored in the jw organisation).

but, as this article discusses, the influence of priests in the rc church allows a greater scope for this sort of behaviour, and father damian could (theoretically) have abused hundreds +++ of young boys.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-27/toolkit-of-alleged-paedophile-carmelite-priest-damian-barker/101619514.

The abuses of all organized religions are worth remembering.

of course, the abuses of organized religion pale in comparison to the abuses if communism in the modern history of man. To this day, horrific concentration camps are run by the Chinese communists.

https://nypost.com/2022/06/04/the-uyghurs-in-china-now-live-in-a-giant-open-air-prison-camp/amp/

Of course these camps pale in comparison to the atrocities committed under chairman Mao where as many as 80 MILLION of the Chinese people died.

Lest we forget who the Chinese communist party really is…..

Anyone else remember the Awake saying this?

by BottanicPepper in

i may have put this in the wrong thread.

if so, i'm sorry.. my conundrum is this.... i am almost completely certain that an awake back in the 80's/90's mentioned a group of rock bands we shouldn't listen to and i seem to remember them actually naming guns and roses.. i can't find anything now, and i'm wondering if it's the mandela effect, or if it's another case of the cdrom versions of the awakes being doctored again.. does anyone else remember this?

or am i crazy?

Comparing guns and roses and poison to slayer shows the writer(s) had zero clue what they were talking about

Is Klaus Schwab the Most Dangerour man on the planet?

by Vanderhoven7 in

for all the conspiracy theorists out there.... is klaus schwab the most dangerous man in the world?.

Justaguy

Yes he is. He and his cohorts at the world economic forum are the very embodiment of the ‘illuminati’ archetype and they quiet literally run the world through their economic machinations.

Governing body member has nervous breakdown due to bethel workload

by Witness 007 in

karl klien life story from the watchtower.. "president rutherford had repeated occasions to reprove me for breaking some rule.

(under president knorr 1950) brother knorr invited me to join the writing department...when i told him it did not matter where i served he reproved me..saying when an added privilege is offered we should be eager to accept it...my attitude was due to my health which has always been a problem.

knorr was older we were like brothers with the older brother knorr prone to expressing inpatients to my short comings.

Where will the war in Ukraine lead to?

by Kosonen in

there has been comments in the news recently that the war in ukraine could be the beginning to the world war three.. i would not be surprised if it is.

.

the bible says a time will come when the peace will be taken from the earth.. revelation 6:4 another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword.. have you heard what possibly this war in ukraine could lead to?.
