WARNING!!!  SHOCKING SO READ HERE FIRST! Just in case anyone may have accidentally clicked the wrong page, this deals with Watchtower's hypocrisy as it relates to human sexuality and the like.  An organization with millions of people in it and a history of over 100 years obviously has had many sex scandals and still does.  This is all brought out before by both written material and photographs.  Please turn around and exit now if you might be too young or sensitive to read and view this page!  Otherwise, proceed and be informed.

WATCHTOWER AND VERBAL OBSCENITY Scripture says to not even let your lips say what is obscene.  Watchtower knows that (Ephesians 5:4) and has quoted it sometimes, and yet Watchtower has written some things that are either obscene or bordering on it.  For example in 1973 they wrote: "Did you know, for example, that mothers and fathers who stroke the genitals of their fretful babies to keep them quiet are unwittingly encouraging them to become masturbators later on?" (Watchtower magazine; September 15, 1973, page 568, paragraph 6). Watchtower heads would say they were saying doing such a thing is bad but they would not point out that by even talking about this it can activate the doing in some perverts, besides which it goes against what scripture says. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvOMtGZtgdM

SEXUAL HYPOCRISY, BEDROOM LAWS, ANTI-MARRIAGE DOINGS OF THE WATCHTOWER Regardless of whatever Watchtower says or does regarding human sexuality, their actual doings tell on them.  Ironically in the past some of their older publications during the presidency of Joseph Rutherford were a bit more explicit; for example, the following was on the cover page of the 1932 publication Cause Of Death.  How many modern Jehovah's Witnesses would balk at placing it at the Public's doors or at least blush in doing so?!  It has been said that Rutherford had a weakness for both easy women and alcohol, going to burlesque shows when in Paris more out-of-sight etc. Facts are facts and not only the item below but other items on this page show a lot of hypocrisy about sex in the Watchtower from top down.  Watchtower heads have long been what they call others, "apostates" opposed to God even while they pretend to be Angels of Light.

This is a photo taken of the 1927 Watchtower publication "CREATION"  on page 265.   The version here is deliberately kept small, although if you are an adult and curious then you can see a larger (and more revealing) version by scrolling farther below. Watchtower based its photo on Max Klinger's painting Kreuzigung (Crucifixion) which was published in 1893 in Dresden, Germany, and immediately caused a scandal there.  Rutherford had traveled to Germany before and must have known this, but yet he also liked to stir up controversy which gave the Watchtower's regular members some persecution but also brought publicity.

WATCHTOWER'S "SECRET" BEDROOM LAWS That's right!  Unknown to most regular JWs, Watchtower Elders pry into the private sexual intimacies between married Jehovah's Witness couples.  Few people would ever become JWs if they knew this before studying and getting baptized as JWs.  Click here for copies of some of the few times Watchtower has admitted in writing that it has such Bedroom Laws plus a video where Rick Fearon also tells about it.  Some defending Watchtower will say "well, we may have had such before but not now" and point to a Watchtower magazine saying so, but they won't also tell you Watchtower has later again stated such bedroom laws.   Yes, the Watchtower really does break up families, encouraging snitching by one's marriage mate, tapping into and poking its nose even into the marriage bed.  In doing so it ignores counter-balancing scriptures and the institution of Holy matrimony itself.  Many people have alleged they and others have known of pedophile elders in the world headquarters itself.  Mark Palo has openly alleged about one whom he says when alive was on the Governing Body, the very top of the Watchtower Society organization.  When alive Pat Garza also alleged that another Governing Body head had molested her when a child in California.  Such "men" appear to be hypocrites who only pretend to be super-righteous in the hope that it will cover up their own perversions of the flesh.  The internet has countless articles from reputable newspapers and TV documentary shows about the molestations by overly-powerful elders but Watchtower says it's all from Satan, just lies.  http://sixscreensofthewatchtower.com/1bedroomlaws.html Since Watchtower keeps discussing this topic, as in the October 15, 2007 article "Responding to Your Conscience" where a footnote in paragraph 8 refers Jehovah's Witness readers to pages 30 to 31 of the March 15, 1984 Watchtower, here's a forum discussion.  It's doubtful any of the Governing Body men and their wives perfectly go by their own rules, which means they are hypocrites.  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/193977/1/Bedroom-Laws

BUSYBODY PRYING BY WATCHTOWER From the Silentlambs.org guestbook: BO Monday, May 10, 2010 @ 1:32 PM Glad I left the JW's.. Thanks all of you for posting all this information. I knew something was not right when we were studying with the Witnesses in Fremont, CA during the early 90's. An elder came to our house with the husband from our study team - Tony Hansen. Tony went off into another room with my husband and the elder (can't remember his name) asked me about our private sex life and if we had oral or anal sex or not. I was flabbergasted. My husband thought I was nuts throwing them out of the house. I guess people don't usually tell the elders to get the F*** out the house. The elder fell off his roof a week or so later and I remember thinking that karma worked. I had already been ready to call it quits with them because they wanted me to start hitting my 2 year old when she wouldn't sit still all day Saturday & Sunday and I wasn't allowed to sit in the lovely furnished nursery that had the sermon piped in "just to allow her to manipulate me". The questions about our sex life did it for me and after reading your site, boy am I glad I did what I did. Bless you all and hope you all heal fully.

ELDERS MAKING FALSE ACCUSATION  WASANELDERONCE- Wow. Incredible story. It shows how untrusting elders are towards male witnesses being alone with any JW women. All you were doing was helping this woman put in a surround sound  system - and the elders assumed you were having hot and heavy immoral sex ! I went through something similar. After my divorce from non-witness wife # 2 - I was having a coffee at a Starbucks with a female friend. The elders hauled my butt into the back room asking me if we had touched each others private parts. " Did you fondle her breasts ? " I was asked . " Did she touch your penis ? " I felt like saying, " Well- not in Starbucks . " LOL ! It's ridiculous how the elders think everybody jumps each others bones ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper  (on the JWD forum)

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.  You may also want to see a video discussion by clicking on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLj9FmJGVrI&feature=related

FROM DONNY R REED’S “WATCHED BY THE WATCHTOWER” ESSAY Written by Donny Reed: "What was really strange was that this incident was 12 years after the Watchtower Society decided it would no longer interfere in the bedroom activities of its followers. The excuse the elders gave was that prior to '78 we would actually hunt down violators, now we only deal with it when it is brought to our attention..... Later that summer, I witnessed another example of the Witnesses interrelation and evidently fascination with sex. Whenever someone is suspected of committing a sin, a judicial committee, consisting of three elders, is formed. If there are not enough elders, a ministerial servant is brought in. I was the ministerial servant that was invited to hear the case of "Robert." Robert and his wife had been having sex the past several months using the rear entry method (doggy style). As was in my case, the wife started feeling guilty and confessed. The elders then contacted the husband and said there would be a "hearing" on Thursday evening after the service. The meeting began with the presiding elder reading the "charges." As the elder read them I looked over at Robert and could see the shock and disbelief on his face that he was sitting here listening to this. After reading the charges, elder #2 asked if Robert felt bad for what he did. Robert shot back that he did not and this was none of their business. Elder # 2 stated "This behavior is reminiscent of animals and animals will not inherit the Kingdom of God." Robert countered by asking where in the Bible does it say what a man and wife can and cannot do. The elder responded saying that it was based on Bible principals rather than a direct statement. All during this meeting I said nothing, because I felt as Robert did, that this was none of their business. Finally Robert got up to leave and as he left he said, "You guys do what you think you got to do. I'm outta here." Since I was not an elder I could not vote to disfellowship him (which I wouldn't). The next morning the two elders met with a third and voted to disfellowship him for conduct unbecoming a Christian. I felt bad for Robert because he was a good guy and now his world was going to be turned upside down because of some narrow minded individual rules. What was really strange was that this incident was 12 years after the Watchtower Society decided it would no longer interfere in the bedroom activities of its followers. The excuse the elders gave was that prior to '78 we would actually hunt down violators, now we only deal with it when it is brought to our attention." COMMENT: As this shows the enforcement of bedroom laws by at least some Bodies Of Elders continues although more secretively, and it may even still  be condoned from the top although "not officially."  See.

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.

THE MOST SHOCKING VISUAL ITEM KNOWN IN  WATCHTOWER'S PUBLICATIONS:

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.
