JWs having Facebook Sex - Strongly warned to get off FB at CA yesterday

So it appears that JWs are letting their freaky side come out on FB for everyone to see.

There was talk on the CA yesterday strongly warning all true lovers of Jehovah to delete their FB accounts. The talk was solely about FB. The speaker mentioned that JWs are associating with people that would not associate with in real life, often using the excuse that the person is a relative. Many JWs are FB "friends" with persons that are DF'd or that have taken a stand against Jehovah and his organization.

He mentioned that JWs are posting inappropriate pictures of themselves in addition to joining "Watchtower" groups that are not sponored by the organization. He repeated several times that the organization does not have a FB account nor does it have any approved groups on FB. That many of such groups are actually created by apostates with the aim of having one began to doubt their faith. Then he mentioned that all it takes is a crack in your faith and they can take you out of God's organization into Satan's organization. Some use it to get a taste of the world but everything you need to know about the world, good and bad is in the bible, you don't need FB for that.

Then he mentioned how many are involved in serious sins but don't realize it because its all "online". Then he stated very deliberately that Facebook sex is not for true servants of Jehovah. Then went on to explain that in some cases that chatting across FB sex groups were not enough for some and that some had went on to arrange secret rendevous and this was occuring among single, married, young, old and sadly even those in positions of responsibility within the congregation.

Mentioned how some say they are selective about who they approve to be their FB "friends". Speaker said no need to be selective if you simply delete your account. Reminded everyone of the need to get and stay close to Jehovah's organization and that you have all the friends you need in the worldwide brotherhood. 

End of talk highlights

Highlights from a friend that has her CA this weekend. Just last week we talked about how JWs toss out all the JW rules on FB. Anyway she went on to say that later on people were simply sharing tips on how to set the privacy controls on a FB account. So I'm guessing they have no plans of giving up their FB sex. 

This was given as the needs of the circuit so all CAs will not hear this talk...unless your Circuit is into the dirty-dirty.

FB sex...

Oh gawd, they found another trap of Satan.  I think they are on to the right thing... people will start thinking for themselves soon enough.

ooo FB sex, don't know that, is it any good? do you need to use a condom?

Just deleted my account. Thanks for sharing that.

The GB are so ignorant about things they probably assume "poking" is a sexual act on FB

You know...I did wonder how long it would be before the brothers decided to put and end to the FB thing. High control groups would hate FB as they cannot determine everything you do. It's sad really as I know lots will adhere to this...if I was still following the society I probably have grudgingly deleted mine too, albeit for good reasons and trusting their 'divine' guidance. If Jesus were alive today on earth I wonder what he would think of it. I have found so many friends that I lost contact with years ago...how can that be a bad thing.. and as for the bad associations and terribly worldly people...well... didn't Jesus himself associate with what the brothers would consider today as the scum of the earth?? For some, it's the only contact they have with friends and family. Anyone who condemns that needs their head examined...

By the way...zombie dub..I loved your post. Nearly wet myself!

You mean it isn't? Damn! I was getting all horned up over nothing.

Yup. This is something that just occurred to me, and I will be paying attention to this. We all know that the internet is absolutely pummeling the GB, yet, with every new generation comes new technology with easier access to the internet.

According to CNET, 10% of all cell phones were smart phones in 2007 (phones with internet access) Today, it is close to 30%, and by 2013, estimates are anywhere from 60-80%.

Try regulating that. Now you can google Jehovah's Witnessees on your Android or iPhone. Visit sites like this. Visit porn sites if you wanted, and not have anyone be able to check out your phone.

Each young generation is going to be wondering why Jehovah's Witnesses are turning into the Amish of the internet. Soon, they will pick up on mobile internet devices, then that next local needs will be on "Do you really need a smartphone?" It is going to get thick, and I am curious to see how the young people will handle it, as well as the GB.

Btw, facebook sex? C'mon. Let me tell you a little formula that the GB uses. They get a couple of reports that people had sex with someone they met on the internet. BOOM! EVERYONE gets to hear about the dangers. I am positive that its not prevelant, it just gives the GB and excuse to demonize the internet more.

Ahahaaha!!! FB is now the Villain of the Week. Priceless. The GB finally caught onto Myspace when that site was in decline. At this rate, the flock will finally get a timely reminder about Twitter in four years!

Facebook is great. It allows me to connect with all the good old friends I once shunned.

I wonder if my sister will get rid of her covert FB page....hmm...

Oh oh someone on Farmville has been plowing their neighbor !!!! 

                                        FaceBook Sex..

                  Of course the whole outside world is doing it!..

                         Only in Watchtower World..

                        Are people that Frigg`n Stupid..

                                   Dumb Ass`s!!..

In my local area I see many witnesses on facebook and they do keep in contact with worldly family and some df'd relatives . It obviously is pissing off the soul masters .  I have seen Elders and MS on there to ,but wondered if they are only there to spy on the rank and file . One of the young people recently Df'd told me of a 'brother' in the hall that purposely stalks accounts and reports any bad behavior ,kids must really love that guy ! Ha

Auntbee , I am missing out on the sex on facebook have you been with withholding important information from Me ?

Ahhhh! FB sex, of course, that must be fun! Why wasn't this discussed at our CA? It would have made it far more interesting. Maybe that it will at our next one........only trouble is - I won't be going.

marking for later

The WT has always warned about gatherings of JWs where there is no control, be it JW roller skating, or big get-togethers of any sort, they are against it if they can't control it. They are after all a mind "Control" cult.

Face book is a very real threat to the WT's control over the rank and file and it has the very great potential to undermine that control.

They are panicking over the fact that the Disfellowshipping process used to keep the average JW in the dark about why so many are leaving the JWs will be rendered ineffective by anonymous contact with former JWs and by those who are still JW but remain anonymous for sake of family contact will have an avenue of contact that supersedes or bypasses their control restrictions on who the JW can communicate with.

The WT is terrified, expect much more in the way of warnings and even disciplinary actions for those not heeding the WT's Face book warning in the future.

Goes to show that the GB does moniter the net, and no doubt this forum too. How long before FB becomes a disfellowshipping offence i wonder....?

I warned my kids about religions that seek to control the internet use of its members... i wonder if this will be part of the 2010 CA's here in Aust?

I must be missing something.  Been on Facebook for ages, but it didn't occur to me to have sex, especially whilst chatting to to my work colleagues, kieces, nephews, sisters, brothers and children.  It's all rubbish, just another control factor.

Bingo.
