i think only in strict religious circles, is it considered taboo.. does someone's "fornicating" bother you?.
There's no guideline on that, but married couples are pretty much not supposed to talk about what they do to others. I knew a couple who had handcuffs and blindfolds. Another sister who worked as their cleaner told me when she'd had some loosening juice at a party.
I was married three years ago as a JW, and the JW elder celebrant told us that "what you do in the bedroom is entirely your business".

Depends on the type of "fornication". If it's the irresponsible type listed in the above post, yeah, I'd look down on those people as needing to have self control and responsibility. If it's the unmarried people in a steady relationship/living together type, then no. If people are responsible and sensible and prepared to deal with consequences rather than killing the baby or neglecting it or having multi baby daddies and mummies and letting their kids grow up to be criminals or bogans...
a self appointed dictatorship.
removing anyone who dares to question.. deleting from literature and history anything embarrassing to the movement.
zero tolerance, functioning & appearance of the movement is worth more than an individuals life.. .....but am i talking about north korea or watchtower?
Reading books about North Korea prepared me for ttatt. Keep up the good work.
my initial withdrawal from the cult about 5 years ago or so, was as a fader, but now there is no doubt i am so over the cult, having publicly sat on the board of the local pflag chapter!
my bumper stickers declare don't believe everything you think and stop the violence; legalize marijuana (also a generic pflag sticker)... i am out and i aint coming back and i denounce the cult as a cult, i never call it anything else... .
today at the local food co-op a congregant saw me and bee-lined it over to hug me!
Maybe she's a human being.
only scanned,,couple articles on necessary on having a old-age long-term plan now.
reality is hitting them more than ever.. also, australia showed "publisher" amount.
i assume it was the "peak" stat.
That is unbelievably irresponsible. Not caring for your parents so you can keep pioneering? Apart from the Pharisee parallel, it's just plain ungrateful. I mean, these are the people who changed your nappies, worked to feed and clothe you, cleaned your puke, wiped your nose and put up with your crap as a teenager. And now they say, hey, just dump your olds on the congregation.
bible describes ingratitude as one of the characteristics of last days.
people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money ....ungrateful.... etc.
(2 timothy 3:2) it seems this prophecy about people becoming ungrateful is having its fulfillment more than 100%.. i was watching an interview on the tv the other day.
Depends what you mean by education. I'd say it is because education broadens your mind. Yet the people running this country are educated as lawyers most of them and are dicks.
stressed again with my circumstances.
very tiresome, but i need to be positive.
are you an optimistic soul?
My wise mother once told me, "if chickens hatch in your omelette, don't eat it." Never really figured out exactly what it means, but it's really helped me in life.it might help you too.
just my vomiting catharsis......always open to comments/critiques.. http://darrinhart.hubpages.com/hub/the-watchtower-delaying-your-personal-happiness.
Sweet article. It's all so true.
this past summer has been rewarding and distressful, as some would say, it has been bitter sweet.
my wife finished her degree and is now working at a hospital, (as a janitor cleaning windows), lol.
oh, we also live in a van down by the river!.
Just goes to show jw families are just as dysfunctional as "worldly" families who don't have Jehovah's spirit. What a bunch of hypocrites. Oh yeah, we'll love you again if you come to the meetings.

this is completely ridiculous.
even as an uber dub i would bnever ever do this!!!
Sfpw makes a good point. This video is a self serving "practicing of righteousness in front of men." Thing is, doing a piece like this is by no means original. It's no different to any video put out by the wt, magazine experience, assembly demonstration, dc interview...they're just doing what Mother does by bragging about how spiritual they are cuz they quit their jobs to do more for the org. Monkey see, monkey do.
