Did you have any ''dirty creepy old men'' in your congro?

We had one always had his hands on the sisters and would stare at there brests all the time . Any new sisters were ''new meat'' lost count off the times he was told off by the elders

Does the name Jerry Kxxxxx and Bob Nxxxx ring a bell with anyone?

Yes. One who had been attending the meetings for over 30 years, his wife was baptised but he wasn't. She died when I was about 6 years old, he kept going to the meetings.

Made several passes at my Mum (with me present at the time), was always looking anything in a skirt up and down (mostly around the chest area). Never spoken to about it of course. When he died, he was also given a witness funeral despite the fact that he was never baptised and he freely admitted he didn't believe what most of the watchtower said.

Yeah, we had an 80yr old who molested a 3 yr old girl. All he got was loss of privlidges. When she grew into a teen, she was shunned for being immoral. Both parents were devestated and left. He got a full witness funeral when he died. What a just and loving and understanding god and body of elders.

brinjen

Yeah, loss of prvileges would have taught him a lesson.

Forgot to mention, the one I mentioned used to handle the microphones, until he had to quit due to his declining health.

There was this one creepy brother, in my old congregation, middle-aged, several kids, and an elder wannabee (made it eventually, I understand).

His speciality was zooming in on any young married sister who had just given birth. I know from personal experience - he did this with my wife. He had never shown the slightest interest in us or her prior to that first occasion we turned up at the hall with our new-born son.

He was all over her straight away. Going on about Jehovah's marvellous provision of breast feeding.

"Do you breast feed? ... How often? ... Do the beasts get uncomfortable and swollen? ... Are your nipples sore? ... Do you put any cream on your nipples? "

On and on about breasts and nipples. Nipples and breasts. On and on.

"I think it's marvellous to see... Don't feel embarassed ... just breast feed when you like, in front of anyone ... Nothing to be ashamed of .... If you ever drop by, you can breast feed in our house, I won't mind..... nipples this ... nipples that.. marvellous breasts..." and so on.

It was clear that all he was doing was getting off by talking to young attractive girls about their breasts. The fact of the baby's birth gave him his chance to have these conversations about breasts and he took every chance he could to really get acquainted with every young sister's nipples, his gaze relentlessly locked on to the objects of his obsession.

My wife thought these conversations (with his ugly, stupid wife standing by, smiling all the while, nodding dumbly) were utterly inappropriate. He was just a dirty old man, really a creepy guy. We talked about it to a few others, and that was pretty much the consensus among his other victims.

But, nothing was ever said to him, of course.

It was all deniable. He was only celebrating this "faith-building, marvellous provision from Jehovah" of breast-feeding the young. Now what could possibly be wrong with that?

Duncan, Thank god that I never met that man!

If anything, the congregation I used to go to was excessively prudish. If any crap like that happened there, it would have been behind the scenes.

In fact, their essence toward me was to have me totally avoid any contact with the opposite sex, except if I ran into them out in field circus. And then my partner would automatically get the call (unless it was a "Not Interested"; then, they didn't want me to have any further contact until the next time the territory was reworked. And they wanted me to just meet men at the a$$emblies.

With all the hypocrisy, I bet that was a front that hid much of the creepiness going on within the congregation.

Yep. We had one elder who had a thing for young girls. Once you got to a certain age you were out of favour (around 20).

I was trying to remember if there was any dirty creepy old men in any congo I went to. I can't think of any...and any men that other JW's might have considered creepy, were actually interesting old men with a previous life...with cool stories to tell that didn't involve meetings or serving jah...and all eventually faded away or left.
