It's not immoral to be gay, it's immoral to perform homosexual
acts. Their arguments are a bit more involved, but, that's the gist of
the thing.

==================================
Sounds like the old, "Don't ask and don't tell" philosophy.
Given the fact that many woman experience NO orgasmns otherwise, it
seems that -- at least in some cases -- oral pleasing is a necessity
for sexual pleasure. Your mileage (or should I say smileage) may
vary.

<watchtower-speak>
(1) The Bible makes no references to oral sex. That's not to say the
Bible has nothing to say about the matter! Far from it! Let's examine
what the Bible does say about sex, and what our attitudes toward sex
should be if we would like to be considered 'friends' of God, as
Abraham was. (2 Chronicles 20:7)
(2) Abraham married his half-sister, Sarah. (Genesis 20:12) Although
we today hold incest to be a grave crime against the victim, the Bible
makes it clear that incest is a joyous activity, to be indulged in
with liquor, as Lot did with his two daughters. (Genesis 19:30-38). In
this modern society, we may find ourselves shrinking back from such an
idea. Indeed, the world generally holds an opinion contrary to that of
God's word the Bible, but should we really let that sway our opinion?
The apostle Peter makes it clear that Lot's night of drunken incest
had no ill effect upon his standing with God, calling Lot "righteous."
(2 Peter 2:7,8)
(3) Then too, is the example of King Solomon. King Solomon was favored
with 'wisdom and riches and glory' more than any other man before him
or since. (1 Kings 3:10-13) Should we not heed the fine example of
someone so favored by God in our own lives? King Solomon had over 700
wives - many of whom he no doubt had sex with. But it is interesting
to note that the Bible also says Solomon had 300 concubines. Webster's
dictionary gives us a better idea of what a concubine is: concubine
\Con"cu*bine\, n. [F., fr. L. concubina; to lie down, to lie
together.] 1. A woman who cohabits with a man without being his wife;
a paramour. Clearly, the Bible shows that it is fine for us to take
care of all our many wives, but that if we need a little sexual
variety on the side, concubines are a welcome provision of our loving
creator, Jehovah God.
(4) Although the Bible does not mention oral sex, there are certain
Biblical guidelines that any true Christian would want to consider,
since the Bible is 'inspired and beneficial for teaching.' (2 Timothy
3:16) The Bible makes it clear that to engage in sex of any sort with
a prostitute is a waste of good money. (Proverbs 29:3, NIV) It also
shows our fine brothers among us that they must never ejaculate onto
the ground, for fear that God may strike them dead. (Genesis 38:9,10).
Clearly then, if we are going to engage in oral sex, we would want to
do it only with a member of our immediate family, or with a concubine,
and only if they are willing to swallow.
Questions: (1) Does the Bible have nothing to say about sex? (2a) What
does the Bible say about having sex with two women at the same time?
(2b) What if those two women are your daughters? (3a) How many
orifices did King Solomon have at his disposal? (3b) What is the
Bible's view about keeping concubines? (4) What Biblical advice should
we follow if we want to have oral sex?

I definitely understand you (and I love your witty, irreverant writing
style). My wife was a JW for 12 years and she wouldn't have anything
to do with oral sex because she was convinced (by elders at her
Kingdom Hall) that it was something that was *most likely* displeasing
to Jehovah.
She left the organization two years ago and our marriage -- and sex
life -- have improved immeasurably.
David Ober
if you ask my opinion here, i would like to ask which part of of the whole
oral thing is unclean?
if it is why isn't the US president sick yet from all the oral job he got
from or gave to Monika?
Oh, give me a sec here.........or was it the anal thing they were talking
about in afrika?
anyways, aside from homosesuality which i see as an attack on the future of
the Human race, i have nothin in the world with any other form of sex.
and when it comes to these other forms of sex......i might like to point out
here that if they are wrong i.e oral and anal sex, then the black race is
ahead of the white race towards Gods kingdom.........they ( the Black
people) basicly hate those other forms of sex......its like for us we go
into bed, kiss, stick it in and out and bam- thats it.
please do not attack me on this as i know what i am talking about.
as for me, i think took picks are made for after oral sex!! LOL

Why would it ever occur to you to ask if what you do in your own
bedroom is ok? Do what you want, nobody need ever know a thing. Why
would you think that a God who obviously cares little about poverty,
disease, and disasters care about what you do with your private parts?
Two reasons actually, 1: Many religions cause people to feel
guilty when they have any fun at all. 2: Many religions (and people)
cause people to feel guilty when perform any sex but missionary.
Another thing I remembered about the WT article about oral sex.
It's not a DF offense, but anyone with a position in the cong would
lose it if they unrepentantly (or regularly) practice oral or anal sex,
or masturbate.

*** I don't think the GB got their nose in the JW's bedrooms because of
gay acts. They had another agenda. And remember these (the GB) are
all very OLD MEN. That generation saw everything as dirty, sinful,

*** You can be sure the GB was not the least bit interested in women
enjoying the act. Women, in their view are there for the pleasure of
men, to be USED by men. Women don't count as "people' in their own
right. And when the GB was young women's pleasure wasn't even
considered.

I was at a dance the other night. And I couldn't help but think of
Carol as I looked around the dance hall. (Doesn't that say something sad)
Anyway, as I looked around the dance hall I began to realize there was only
one single, avalible sister there between the age of 18 to 25. And she was
from over 400 miles away. So of course, I counted the single guys in the
same age group. 16 in all. Boy did that sister get attention that night.
But she's moving to the Phillipians (SP) so there wasn't much hope there.
So I gotta say, I still don't understand why you insist it's the sisters who
outnumber us single guys.
It was a fun dance though, we single guys decided to have fun without
the ladies. Started one big group dance, for some reason we were all in
dark clothes, mostly black. Then the sister joined us after a bit. It was
quite amusing to see 16 guys in dark clothes, with one sister in a bright
orange dress dancing in the middle. But ya probably had to be there to
appreciate it. :)

Oh, lucky you! ;-)
I think this most excellent post of yours drives home at
least a couple significant points:
1) There are none so righteous as the righteously horny.
2) Any and every moral (if not sexual...) position has
biblical support.
I think you should quit the band and focus on doing
Watchtower spoofs, man! There's gotta be a halfway
decently sized market for that kind of thing, especially if
it could be consistently of that kind of quality. Call it
"Radio Free Newsgroup", or something.... ;-)

After getting to the "bottom" of things, the elders would take matters "well
in hand" and after an "oral" chastisement
directed "straight" toward the perpetrator and participator of the mutual
sexual stimuli, excommunicate them.
In other words, if a JW engaged in oral sex, it would be best to keep
his/her mouth shut!

You are too kind, too kind. And I'm amazed at your own grasp of what
the "Witness experience" is like. Highlighters, (or underliners, which
are more spiritual only if you put lots of effort into making it look
nice) microphone-wielding adolescents, restless kids.
Such vivid imagery! It really brought me back. I feel like together,
we've had our own little virtual visit to the Kingdom Hall. It is, of
course, a Kingdom Hall in a completely different universe (since I
don't imagine we'll see the Watchtower dissecting Solomon's sex life
anytime soon), but hey.
I got a good bit of my material about sex and the BIble from a really
cool website. You might get a kick out of it. It's an awesome site -
very well researched and written:

Maybe I'm out of the loop here, but how many people out there actually
discuss their specific bedroom practices with others? I still don't
get why this would be worthy of any sort of "theological" debate, one
way or the other. If JW's are allowed to use contraception, this
indicates that they have decided that sex is not solely for the purpose
of procreation, and it is ok to have it for "fun". Since its ok to
have sex for fun without wanting to reproduce, why does it matter how
exactly the fun is had?

Beats me... off!
Perhaps the Corporation has holdings in contraception
companies?
Or maybe it's because in the bible God formed Eve from one
of Adam's ribs, and thus there's something special about
things ribbed....

Well, hey, I went to nine or ten meetings, and had my eyes
and ears open (heart/mind closed, though, apparently).
And then I've filled in the empty spaces with the reading
of thousands and thousands of posts over a number of years.
So it's not like I'm totally bootstrapping it, here.

I'll believe this is a virtual Kingdom Hall as soon as
the women outnumber the men, which is clearly *far* from
the case at this point! I mean, that's far and away the
biggest problem we have in our little v-cong, here....

need to volunteer for the other important positions,
like those who'll be shoveling all the donation cash into
Kingdom Bags, and the Kingdom Bags into Kingdom Armored
Trucks. Someone else can be the one to hold the bright
light being shined in the lusty eyes of adolescents being
grilled and coerced into confessing to all the ungodly
wonton sexual depravity they've been engaging each other in
whilst mom and pop were out in the door to door ministry.
Obviously, PB will have final say in all

### They're not embarrassed at all when it means brownie points and a
better chance at the eternal life BS they're all spoon fed by the WT.
They'd sell their own mothers down the river for that ticket. It makes
you sick to realize what fakes and hypocrites they all are/become in
that cult. And all in the name of God no less. BARFF*****

Now most of this drivel is old JW teachings concerning the Nephelim.

my knowledge is therefore suspect.

Isn't that disgusting? If you have sex with an animal is beastality
(sp?) or something but not adultery. Well, what can you expect from a

Isn't this a bit contracdictory? Its up to the couple unless its one
of the "unclean" things, at which point it becomes everybody's
business? What is the basis for determining which sex acts are clean?
I think what you are probably referring to is covered under Mosaic law,
but if JW's are not bound by Mosaic law regarding other practices (such
as the dietary restrictions) why would they be made to conform to the
sexual restrictions?

It's a classic example of the old Pick-n-choose game the WT plays. The
dietary restrictions weren't worth the effort and the old geezers liked
to eat,... the sexual restrictions on the other hand... well, it's pick
and choose as usual.

Because the law on blood was stated in the bible both before and after
the law as necessary things.
I believe the blood transfusion ban comes from the New testament, where
Paul repeals the Mosaic laws, but retains some fairly non-defined
prohibitions (like fornication, blood, etc). As the doctrinal founder
of much of Christianity, Paul essentially took matters into his own
hands by abolishing the dietary restrictions and circumcision
requirements. As far as Jesus, the actual founder of Christianity, I
would be willing to bet that as a Jew he felt himself bound by Mosaic
law. When he did go against Mosaic law, he justified it by saying that
saving a life was more important then obeying the Sabbath. The concept
that human life is more important than doctrinal adherence seems to
have eluded the JW's in their blood policies.

Ack! Married couples are so boring! Who cares what *they*
do in bed? Chances are they're doing it either thinking
or wishing it were with someone else, anyway....
