  Is Cybersex considered adultery

  by butalbee in

  what's your opinion on this?

  what if you caught your husband or wife engaging in an odd situation at his/her computer screen?

  is it cheating?

  Your rampant desire to talk about little else but sex can't help but leave the impression there are some serious issues you have in that regard, i.e. addiction. Have you considered getting counselling not just over this but even in your desire to go back into something so wrong as your last relationship.

  Find a good therapist Butalbee, it will help.

  What one person considers to be an "addiction," is considered by many others to be a blessing. Is there such a thing as too much sex? No, as long as it isn't causing you to live in a cardboard box behind a shopping center. Even then, as long as you're happy there, it's fine!

  Therapist? I think so, but not the type presumably referred to in the above quote. Butal needs a therapist with a very "hard" approach, one that will satisfy her heretofore insatiable sexual appetite. A professional license is optional.

  my mother has been sick for a couple of months and undergoing a battery of tests, she is a jw.

  we live 3000 miles apart.

  well she just called and informed me that she had just received some bad news from her doctor this afternoon.

  If her hemoglobin level is down to a 4, it's likely to affect her mentally as well as physically. I'd get over there right away, and, outside your mother's presence, make sure those JWs understand that there will be severe consequences for them if they interfere with you in doing what is right for your mother (legal consequences).

  Next, I'd ask your mother where in the bible that it says that certain small amounts of blood transfusions are ok, while other larger transfusions are prohibited. The JWs are ok with organ transplants, but not blood transfusions. There is no way to excise all the blood from a transplanted organ; hence, the recipient of an organ transplant is getting a blood transfusion, even if the amount of blood is slight. The JWs are totally inconsistent in their approach to this issue; maybe seeing that will help your mother understand.

  You are your mother's best hope for survival. Good luck to you, I wish you and your family the best!

  I hope the guy saved a garden hose to hook up to his tailpipe and insert in a window while sitting in the car in the garage with the engine running. It causes less mess, and he'll surely want to kill himself after he feels the new pain in his life attributable to being mentally enslaved by a cult that values miserable living and communist ideals.

  This is an excellent illustration of a fruitful marketing tactic utilized by the JW cult; hit on folks when they are experiencing some sort of life crisis. That's when they're most vulnerable and easier to manipulate. Their Watchtower horseshit fails on anyone who has their head on straight.

  May the watchtower adorn the top of the excrement pile in your nearest outhouse. That'll make it available for fresh poop and pee to wash it down to the bottom of the sewage tank.

  Butal,

  I'd rather have her at my door than a JW preaching armageddon and no premarital sex. I'd buy her cookies, but I wouldn't take the Watchtower or the Awake or any other WTBTS excrement peddled by the mentally and/or physically enslaved.

  BTW, the new topics are lame. Get back to sex - you have my permission and encouragement!

  Should US/UK hit Iraq???

  by ISP in

  wondered what the consensus was.

  here in the uk, blair seems set to support bush in hitting iraq but there is not wholesale support in the uk.

  there is some dissent in other countries.

  One thing is certain, Sharon learned a lot from Hitler, and now is working hard to emulate him in every detail. Sharon is a war criminal who should be tried in the Hague. I'm disgusted that part of my tax dollars are going to pay for weapons used by Sharon's forces in committing atrocities. Isreal is going to find itself isolated in the civilized world if it doesn't learn the lessons of history.

  You Know admits his god is weak!

  in a strong statement of faith on another thread, our regular poster and self-appointed chief wts apologist gave this description of the god of jehovah's witnesses:.

  the controversy is between jehovah and satan.. that will satisfy satan's acusations that jehovah has put a protective hedge around us .

  so the god he worships is on an equal footing with a created being?

  You Know,

  Does your silence on the issue of child abuse and exploitation within your cult (raised earlier in this thread) indicate your approval of it?

  What did you do during the written review

  by truthseeker1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  by far the most boring part of all meetings is the written review.

  i either to write computer programs, sleep talk to my wife or sleep in the car.

  Simon,

  That's hilarious, because I can remember doing the same thing (making words out of the watchtower)! I guess it's a human response to boredom. However, I also used to doodle in my publications, and my bible had anatomically correct dinosaurs in the inside covers representing the male and female genders. In later years, I began pasting nudie pictures inside the publications so that my parents would think I was studying the "Truth" when instead I was checking out Ms. April!

  Thanks Dung Beetle!

  I guess it's rather clear that my biggest gripe with the Witnesses relates to the horrific manner in which the organization encourages it faithful to raise their children. Exploitation and abuse are encouraged by the teachings of the JWs, resulting in severe emotional distress for defenseless children. It is my hope that some day legislation will be enacted that prohibits the use of child labor for the benefit of any religious organization.

  You Know's god is certainly not weak. How else could you explain its ability to exploit children by encouraging their parents to require them to engage in marketing activities on behalf of the JW organization?

  You Know, I was one of those children who was forced by his parents to engage in marketing activites on behalf of the Jehovah's Witnesses. My parents were encouraged to do this by the teachings of your organization. I never had any faith in your organization's teachings, but carried out the marketing activities under duress. I wasn't paid for my marketing services.

  I left your cult as soon as I could (age 14), but paid the price. I was never baptized as it would have taken more than a beating to get me to devote my life to your organization.

  The Jehovah's Witnesses may not legally owe me compensation for the unjust enrichment they received at my expense, but they certainly have a moral debt to pay in this regard. Hopefully, some day the organization will wise up to the vast amount of bad feelings the exploitation of children they encourage is causing, and put out some more of that "new light" in the form of admonition to its members regarding this despicable practice.

  I pity the children who are currently subjected to this exploitation and despise those who facilitate it.

  how old were you when you lost your virginity and was it all that you thought it would be?????.

  i was 19, and my first time was a complete let down.
