JW's told not to marry or have children

[Jesus.defender]

Are you married and have children?

[John Houston]

Great that you found this. But it has no meaning for us today. It is like finding information about how people cannot talk on phones across great distances with wires. And yet many people have iPhones and use FaceTime or Skype. So this that you have found is worthless. A time capsule that is intriguing, but has lost its bite. Those teachings may have been the way of the day, but we have learned better, this is a progressive learning process. From when Jesus began, through the apostles and after the dark ages, until now, we continue to learn and on into the new system. As long as we are alive under the sovereignty of Jehovah we will learn.

You are doing a great deal of work in rummaging through archives of old material like this.

I hope you realise that the time and effort and expense that you are putting in to this, like all the others so engaged, is actually only providing us with some entertainment? It is only fair to point this out in case you thought you were accomplishing something else more serious. But given that, carry on please.

When there is time to read through these old ideas, it provides a light diversion from the more serious business of living, and indeed, saves some valuable time in avoiding the necessity for doing the same thing twice.

@Outta Here Trinitarians are like dumpster divers when it comes to targeting someone that does not believe in the Trinity, anything to get their giggles by saying in all caps or shout YOU DENY THE DEITY OF THE CHRIST; a dollar for every time I heard that, I'd be a rich man perhaps.

The Bible advices to have children and to marry in fact.

1Cor. 7:2  but because of the prevalence of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife+ and each woman have her own husband.  Let the husband give to his wife her due, and let the wife also do likewise to her husband.

 1Tim 2:15  However, she will be kept safe through childbearing,+ provided she continues in faith and love and holiness along with soundness of mind.

1Tim 5:14  Therefore, I desire the younger widows to marry, to bear children, to manage a household, to give no opportunity to the opposer to criticize. 

Matt 19:10  The disciples said to him: “If that is the situation of a man with his wife, it is not advisable to marry.”11  He said to them: “Not all men make room for the saying, but only those who have the gift.+ 12  For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs on account of the Kingdom of the heavens. Let the one who can make room for it make room for it.”+
