QUESTIONS FOR JW

by Deli King in

there are approx.

6,000,000 jw worldwide, how many of that number have any clear idea as to how the central part of the organization functions?

how many of them know how decisions as to doctrinal teachings are reached?

Hi on the subject of anal intercourse, I remember being at a book study once, the book was the family life book, you must remember it, bottle green with horrendous ideals..anyway during this particular study, one middle aged lonely batchelar gave an answer about wives not fulfilling their "duties" by their husband. Standard crap blah blah blah and then he said that while at an assembly in Canada,(this guy was Irish like me and in an Irish BS), he heard a talk about sexual devients and apparently oral sex and anal sex were a big no no as babylonians and eygptians practiced these positions! Well apart from the fact that I nearly pissed myself trying not to howl hysterically at this answer, queries sprung to mind:

a. how would anyone know if you had anal/oral sex with your husband? oh I forget Jehovah would know and you would have to confess everything to the nearest elder!!!

b. also, I'm pretty sure the ancient civilisations also practiced the missionary position ergo is that disquailified too???

Also just to confirm, the geriatric elder and his wife backed this answer up 100%!

hi this is my first post, I've been on line reading as many of the posts as possible this afternoon, I never realised this site exsisted. I have to say, as an ex JW I was almost afraid to post. Old habits die hard I suppose. Anyway, I missed the panorama program last night, my parents watched it, my mum is also an ex witness my dad still a VERY fanatical practicer. After the program she challanged him on the issue, he completely disregarded everything that had been said during the documentary, calling the people apostates.

He quoted scripture at my mum and told her that a special talk had been given at the meetings on Sunday morning to prepare the congregation for the program. During this talk it was explained that the "society" has a child protection policy in place which as we now know means that the unqualified elders decide on whether to report incidents to the police or not! It sounds more like a JW protection policy. Anyway, my dad sided with the governing body members and tried to say that they should not be hounded and that it was not fair of the press to hound these spiritual men! without listening to their side of the story... I just cannot believe that my dad who I always thought was a decent fairly intelligent guy despite his religous beliefs can swallow this bs. The society was given every opportunity from what I could learn on the panorama web site, but they refused to comment.

Anyway, I cannot explain my frustration at the whole orginisation right now. How dare they pan people off with stupid statements, and how ashamed am I in realising that approximately 5/6 years ago I too would have stood up and defended them.
