For those of us who don't venture outside of the main forum, you don't know what you are missing.
In the above post, a newbie named Harmony asks if anyone here has HSV (Herpes Simplex virus). Although I gave her what I thought was a rather nice answer, she hasn't replied.
That's ok, I guess.
But it did remind me of the time my father served on a JC where they reinstated someone. He warned us girls "not to sit on the seat at the KH toilet because someone in the cong. contracted Herpes by disobeying Jehovah." Now, I don't sit on ANY sit outside of my house, so no prob there.
It just killed me that this person was stupid enough to tell the JC that she had Herpes as a result of her immorality?!?! I mean, what the hell was she thinking? I'm sure she felt it was a necessary part of her confession, in an effort to get reinstated.
And, in all fairness, my father never identified the person. But we figured it out in a short time.
Of course, all the elders told their families 'not to sit on the toilet in the ladies room' and 'not to drink out of the fountain' so as not to contract Herpes.
Nice, huh?
