Dear Eiko, i didnt take your coughing as offensive, sp please dont worry...i cant really remember you coughing anyway.

anyway thanks for your opinion as to what you feel Porneia means.

it means literally to have sex outside the marriage arrangement with you chosen and lawful partner..this is whether you are married or not.

Jehovahs witnesses are not liberal or free to do as we want.

however out of jehovahs care and love he does allow us to divorce if we desire on the basis of at least one member of the married couple having commited such fornication.

And thats the only reason.

I just want to let you know that if you have a further question please go ahead and ask me...this Monday i will be free to write.

Also This Tuesday, i am flying back to London with my wife...so i will be away for roughly 2 weeks...
However,please ask me any question because even in Uk i will still be doing preaching work..and you will be halping me by asking these questions.

Anyway, i hope i can see you tomorrow.

Bye for now

Carlos

Hello good afternoon Br Carlos,

Sorry for coughing in front of you.. It was offensive!

What fornication is varies from ancient times to modern days. On the other hands, adultery usually refers to affairs with married people or a person outside of their marriage, so it becomes a cause of divorce from also a secular point of view.

If fornication means strange or weird sexual behaviour, it could become the cause of divorce from secular points of view, too. What strange or weird sexual behaviour varies in each individuals, it's just hard to define.

Anyway it was amazing for me to find how you stand on a liberal idea about divorce. Divorce is one of options for married couples.

In short, divorce is possible if two parties agree of course, and it is possible even if one party disagree with it but had it some cause as fornication in one part or the other.

I don't think porneia means premarital relations, though fornication might mean. Couples will marry after going out with one another and knowing well, so marriage is a result not a start of their partnership.

I married a lovable woman and it is just out of the question to think about the possibility of having extra-marital relations, my question about divorce in your organisation is sheer out of curiosity.

Sincerely yours,

Eiko
