  Bad Girl,
  
  Officially, a JW husband and wife are not suppose to engage in anal or oral sex. There was a time when the elders felt it was their responsibility to inquire as to what goes on in the bedroom and if the above mentioned acts were engaged in, you could be df'd. I knew of one woman who got df'd because her non-witness husband insisted on oral sex.
  
  I think now it is up to the married couple to keep it in line with WT standards, the elders are no longer sex police.

  http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1801069,00050001.htm Kofi Annan warns against 'war of religion'Deutsche Presse AgenturNew York,September 19, 2006 UN Secretary General Kofi Annan called on Tuesday for sensitivity towards religious beliefs and sacred symbols, warning that mistakes, intentional or not, could trigger a global war of religion. He said international migration, which brought millions of people of different creed and culture to live together, has not united them. "The misconceptions and stereotypes underlying the id ea of a clash of civilization have come to be more and more widely shared, and insensitivity towards other people's beliefs or sacred symbols - intentional or otherwise - is seized on by those who seems eager to foment a new war of religion, this time on a global scale," Annan said in his address to the UN General Assembly. Annan said the climate of fear and suspicion is constantly fuelled by violence in the West Asia, carrying a powerful and emotional symbol affecting even those people remote to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. He also said the UN has failed to resolve some of the biggest challenges in the last 10 years: an unjust world economy, world disorder and contempt for human rights and rule of law. "As a result, we face a world whose divisions threaten the very notion of an international community, upon which this institution stands," he said. Annan said the address and an annual report he was presenting to the 192-nation assembly would be his last before stepping down on December 31. The UN failure to resolve world challenges in the last 10 years fell on his watch, Annan said, citing the humanitarian crisis in Sudan's Darfur region and the protracted conflict in the West Asia. "Yes, I remain convinced that the only answer to this divided world must be a truly United Nations," he said.Annan said his recent visits to several West Asia governments showed that the UN remains the world's only organisation with "legitimacy and reach".

  This is great news for all dubs! With the special campaign and now this, they will all be convinced that the end is really near, this time!

  So sorry restrangled. I was outraged when I heard about the UN scandal, to me it was a BIG deal but my family members that I shared it with pretty much ignored the evidence and still defends the organization to this day. cabasilas is right, leaving the JW's is a process. It took me years to finally see the light after the seed of doubt was planted in me.

  I'm in North County...I can also do a Saturday or Sunday. My husband works every weekend so I pretty much have that open as well. It looks like there are quite a few of us around here. Maybe we can do something the end of October or first part of November. I'm open to suggestions.
