i mean, are they ultra conservative or are they somewhat open to experiences(like kissing, touching etc..)?
Im asking cause a friend said JW's aren't allowed to masturbate, it is in their scriptures and tracts and it is a sin which leads to homosexuality - which is obviously not true - but is their reason for so many homosexuals.
Any witnesses or friends of witnesses that know if this is true?

I have been raised in a JW family (my whole entire family) it just so happens that I'm not one myself, but I have to say there may be many females in this religion that have & will so called "put out" but this should not reflect shame and/or blame on the belief remember this religion as well as many others will have some followers who will make mistakes (only human).

No.

A true Christian (such as a Jehovah's Witness) insists on a valid marriage before performing sexual acts with a partner. Once married, a true Christian (such as a Jehovah's Witness) actually understands that he or she is obliged to perform sexual acts with his or her spouse.

(1 Corinthians 7:2-3) Because of prevalence of fornication, let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife her due; but let the wife also do likewise to her husband.


This so-called "question" seems to use the vulgar expression "put out" as a euphemism for "consent to engage in sexual activity" such as actual vaginal, oral, anal, or sex by a partner manipulating one's genitals for the purpose of sexual gratification. Any of these sexual activities outside of marriage would be included in the biblical term "fornication", and willing participation in any of these constitutes relinquishing one's virginity in the Scriptural sense (of course, victims of rape and/or abuse have not relinquished their Scriptural virginity; nor does self-stimulatory masturbation).

(2 Corinthians 12:21) Mourn over many of those who formerly sinned but have not repented over their uncleanness and fornication and loose conduct that they have practiced


Caressing the breasts and other kinds of intimate "touching" between unmarried persons are associated with the bible terms "uncleanness" and "loose conduct". While these do not sacrifice one's biblical virginity, they may constitute "serious sin" such as could lead to a Christian's formal reproof or even disfellowshipping.

(Galatians 5:19-21) The works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct...those who practice such things will not inherit God's kingdom.


Depending on their culture and the wishes of their family heads, it may be that romantic kissing is considered appropriate between unmarried persons who are dating or courting. However, unmarried Jehovah's Witnesses generally place real limits on the circumstances in which they allow themselves to kiss romantically (for example, not allowing themselves long periods of unsupervised time, or a seclusion with little possibility of interruption). This conscientiously limits the opportunity to escalate physical expressions of romance beyond mere kissing.

(Romans 13:14) do not be planning ahead for the desires of the flesh


Incidentally, while Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe the bible to teach that masturbation is a serious sin (or that it "leads to homosexuality"), they do believe that self-stimulation goes contrary to the best interests of a person hoping to remain chaste.

(Colossians 3:5) Deaden, therefore, your body members that are upon the earth as respects fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite


Thus, a true Christian (such as a Jehovah's Witness) should seek to preserve his or her biblical virginity, even if chastity is weakened or compromised. And even a sinful Christian may suddenly recognize that he must change his course and return to Christ.

(Ephesians 5:14) Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the [spiritually] dead, and the Christ will shine upon you.

(1 Corinthians 15:34) Wake up to soberness in a righteous way and do not practice sin

I once lived next door to a Jehovah's Witness girl. She put out the washing every Monday, the trash every Thursday and her cat every night.

Touching what? Are you trying to be nasty. This is the Christian page you know. Don't get vulgar with me with your innuendos. For shame. There are Christians on here not use to that vulgarity you know.

Don't think "puttin out" has much to do with religion these days. "Puttin out" is nothing but "hookin up" and it is all the rage today. Course, Aids, Herpes, and other STD's are all the rage today too.

Today, no girl over 13 wants to be known as a virgin.

They do whatever they want to, just like the other hypocrites, behind closed doors. I personally know jw's who put out regularly before marriage.

Not if "jehovah witness" isnt a mere title they tack on just to make people think they are devout.

But that is true of any Christian based religion.
