MARRIAGE STATISTICS FOR JW'S AND
OTHER RELIGIONS


WATCHTOWER'S PERVERTED VIEWS OF
 HOLY MATRIMONY!

Often even the most devoted Jehovah's Witness married couples have found it repulsive and unnatural, that Watchtower articles have not only discussed their marital intimacies but also elders have tried to police and shown gross disrespect for the privacy of their intimacies in holy wedlock.   This is also shocking because, as they know, Ephesians 5:4 says, doing such a thing is obscene and foolish. 

By contrast, thoughout the Bible book Song Of Solomon which is also called Canticles, it speaks poetically and in loving terms of natural, healthy expressions that help bond men and women as well as produce children.  Apostles such as Peter were married and to pretend that he and his wife never engaged in and enjoyed the intimacies of God-sanctified "holy" matrimony is neither realistic nor truthful. 

Watchtower's unnatural, unscriptural invasion of the marriage bed goes along with its abetting pedophile Elders, its pressuring JWs to not partake in communion with Christ via the Last Supper Memorial, its continuing anti-emergency transfusion policies which have led to the senseless deaths of innocent JW children and well-meaning but all too gullible adults.  

 The Watchtower magazine of December 1, 1972, pages 734-735 says when married JWs have non-missionary style sex it is lewd, so Watchtower Elders must remove them from the congregation.  The Watchtower magazine of November 15, 1974, pages 703-704, said married JWs were free to divorce over non-missionary position sex. 

After a deluge of JW divorces the Watchtower of February 15, 1978, pages 30-32, backed off, and the Watchtower of March 15, 1983, at the bottom of page 31, said in a brief note that for clarification, since Watchtower heads had rescinded the stand against marital intimacies, no one was to be criticizing those JW women or men who had gotten divorces previously over a spouse’s porneia then remarried. 

In the Watchtower of October 1, 1988, pages 22-23, JWs were told a JW spouse can separate from her/his spouse (JW or not) not only over nonsupport or physical mistreatment but also if the other spouse is a spirtual danger in acting “like an apostate,” meaning he/she dissents from Watchtower dictated views or argues against Watchtower’s views.

In 2008 Watchtower's Governing Body men again expressed the same perverted urge to invade the bedroom, stating they are opposed to non-missionary intimacies between married JW men and women.   Perhaps they think doing so makes them appear holier than other Christians and that it may even get Jehovah to speed up Armageddon which they keep hinting at as coming any second now, and yet it doesn't.  If they knew the Bible better they would know Christ says no one but God knows the hour of the end, and, again, the Bible itself considers marriage a special state for holiness and bliss.

WHY "MARRY ONLY IN THE LORD" MEANS YOU
 SHOULD BUT NOT ALWAYS MUST


Paul said a widow could marry someone "only in the Lord" (1Cor 7:39) which some think means you MUST not marry a person of different beliefs while others say it means usually we SHOULD but that there are permitted exceptions.

For example, God did not oppose Joseph's marrying Asenath (Ge 41:45), daughter of Potphera the priest of On or Beth Shemesh (House of the Sun), Egypt, (Jer. 43:13) which was so-called because of sun worship there. 

Asenath bore Mannaseh and Ephraim (Ge 41:50-52, 46:20) who founded Israelite tribes.

Moses married Zipporah who bore Gershom and Eliezer (Ex 2:16-12, 18:2-4). Her father was Jethro also called Reul, an Arabic priest in Midian.

Jethro was not originally a worshipper of the true God because after Moses returned over the Red Sea only then did he say Moses' God was greater than all other gods. (Ex 18:10)

Esther's marriage to King Ahasuerus of Persia was approved of by God who guided her to save the Jews from genocide.

Some may say Moses and Joseph's wives likely converted to being worshippers of their husbands' God, but this cannot be argued in the case of Queen Esther.

In ancient Israel God said to not marry members of seven idol-worshipping nations, at least upon the Israelites entering the Promised Land, and this was ordered so that they would not be turned to the worshipping of false gods. (Deu 7:1-3)

Those seven nations no longer exist and besides at Deuteronomy 21:19-14 God says an Israelite could marry a captured foreigner after letting her mourn for one month over the loss of her parents.

Isaac and Rebecca's being bothered by Esau's Hittite wives is assumed to have been due to their being non-worshippers, but we can also equally assume it was simply because the women were extremely annoying.

Paul said there is only "one faith," meaning the general Christian faith, not some branch such as at Jerusalem or Corinth. Today its branches still form but one faith and in most of those it is permitted to at least marry spouses from another branch of it.   At 1 Timothy 4:1-5 Paul calls it anti-God to tell persons they MUST not be marrying, and this would apply with inter-church marriages of today, too.

So, although usually best for a Christian to marry another Christian, we also need to remember that Solomon said there is a time and a place for everything.   Scriptures also urge us to be known for reasonableness and to not be stumbling others.

The Bible allows reasonable exceptions.  Those who say God doesn’t allow for any reasonable exceptions are ignoring entire parts of His personality, such as His being perfect in loving-kindness, mercifulness, wisdom, power and justice.

Christians naturally must consider much about potential mates, but the final choice stays with each marrying couple, not any pressuring busybodies who would like to stand between them and God.  In fact the Bible has put being a busybody on a level with murder; and "joy" is a fruit of God's Holy Spirit, along with love being a perfect bond for true Christian unity.

Watchtower's Governing Body men need to take time out from their Committee assignments to actually study the scriptures on such important matters.  If they do they and those who follow their every word will learn that they have been going against the very will of God when it comes to JWs enjoying normal family happiness.

WHAT WATCHTOWER
HATH SAID

Views of the Watchtower Society over Jehovah's Witnesses are quite revealing as they talk of upholding God's standards and yet the organization shelters pedophiles, has had homosexual and pedophile scandals not only in local congregations but right inside of Bethel headquarters:

"Examining the Scriptures Daily 2002 of Friday, February 22 under “Flee from fornication” says "While sexuality is a gift from God, it is not to be expressed without restraint, even within the marriage arrangement." (Eph. 5:28-30; 1 Pet. 3:1,7)


"Outside of marriage, sexual relations are forbidden. The Bible is quite specific on this matter. ( Ex. 20:14; Mark 7: 21,22 ) What is meant by the word "fornication"? It is translated from the Greek word por·nei'a, which is sometimes used to apply to sexual relations between unmarried people. ( 1 Cor. 6: 9 )


"Elsewhere, such as at Matthew 5:32, 19:9, the term is broader in meaning and refers to additionally to adultery, incest, and bestiality.  Other sexual practices between individuals not married to each other, such as oral and anal sex and the sexual manipulation of another's genitalia, can also be designated as pornei'a.


"All such practices are condemned —either explicitly or by implication—in God's Word.—Lev. 20:10,13,15,16; Rom. 1:24, 26, 27, 32."

The St. Petersburg Times has an articled headed "Spiritual Shunning" which follows, recorded for your further enlightenment:

http://www.sptimes.com/2002/08/22/Floridian/Spiritual_shunning.shtml

In 2002 the Watchtower spokesperson J. R. Brown said Witnesses believe that sexual activity between men and women should "follow the normal course" of things. "We feel that oral or anal intercourse would go beyond that." 

Interestingly, Brown does not say if he or any of the married Governing Body members and their wives have ever had other than what they self-righteously say is "the normal course."   It would seem that he should ask them before he presumes to speak for them.

ANDY WALKS WITH ME
webassets/NOVISITS2.jpg

Andy Walks With Me, authored by Ralph Heidler with an assist from his wife Twila, explores the traumatic, abuse-ridden life of young Leroy in his daily encounters with Father, a psychotic, dictatorial, would-be preacher. Compelled to escape Father’s agonizing punishments, Leroy has nowhere to go but within his own mind to find the peace he needs to survive. Father, a harsh and unforgiving tyrant, did not spare the rod in raising his fourteen children. Mother, who was distant and cold, provided the nursing care for her abused children but could not truly love them or heal their inner pain.


When Leroy becomes a young man, he assumes his birth name of Ralph, marries and begins to raise six children. One day he disappears and mercifully loses his excruciating childhood memories. Forgetting his immediate past as well, Ralph finds himself on a strange but eventful twenty-year odyssey that will eventually bring him back to confront his childhood demons and the family he left behind.


A unique story of surviving human cruelty that devastated an entire family, Andy Walks With Me is heart-wrenching, inspiring, and yes, even humorous.
