Service meeting topic: Masturbation
by perfect1 inone of my strangest memories of going to the kh was when a young- maybe 18-20, pimply young man got up to talk about jhvhs view of masturbation during a service meeting.. of course, it was impossible to think about him not masturbating.
i was just hitting puberty and found the whole thing very uncomfortable- i think my dad was even critiquing him (what is that called when elder gives the feedback).
looking back now i can see that to publicly condemn masturbation, especially when a young man is delivering this admonition, is- well- hilarious.

Lady Lee have you seen the video linked to in the other thread in Friends- it definitely looks like there are some descriptive hand gestures.

Did you ever have to give that talk- can anyone relate to this.
*just remembered this was a talk from the Questions Young People (Never) Ask book

If someone told me oral sex was like licking a toilet, I would say, "I do that too."

The Decline of Elders and Ministerial Servants
by Londo111 ini seem to remember somebody saying that since the 90's the number of elders has declined from 90000 to 60000. does anybody have any hard figures regarding this?.
the organization is desperate for "qualified" men.
but their standards are much too high, especially the monthly field service hour requirements tagged on to endless meetings and congregational busywork.

scientific method is a way of gathering knowledge through testing and verifying assumptions. Usually, once an assumption has evidence that it does in fact exist it is deemed to be "true." Because truth depends on objective testing and is subject to revision, truth is not an eternal or immutable fact, but a a process in which verfired assumptions prompt further questioning and testing, drawing additional conclusions or truths.
When conducting research or experiments of any kind, it is always a first step to cite the previous studies done in order to give your question contextand validity. The previous studies are a way of explaining the generally accepted truth, which your work will build upon. From a scientific method perspective, truth as we understand it now is a small fragment of what remains to be understood, there is no truth which explains everything.

Armaggedon Nightmares
by perfect1 infrom time to time i have an apocalyptic nightmare, which i attribute to the wt doctrines being planted in my head from birth.. recently, i dreamed i was standing in a skyscraper in nyc when a flying metal sphere came into my hands.
from the window i could see the city was exploding- (looking south towards lower manhattan) the metal sphere was a homing device for the missiles as well as camera which was observing- anyway i grabbed it and decided that as it was directing the attack, the attack would end with me.
so i held it up at the window where i could see the city being destroyed- flames, explosions, orange grey- and as i did the missiles headed my way.

Everyone in the building was screaming and eventually I was being dragged away along a wall although I could no longer see at all, and I knew we would all die in a matter of moments.
Then I woke up.
That was a few days ago but I can't quite shake the sights or the absolute evil of the metal sphere device.
Anyone else have end of the world nightmares?
All the cult books says its a side effect.
