I am whole heartedly endorsing Aude's astute observations...
Cog ...yes that is how it 'should' be..

"You are always 17 in your hometown"..... to the Elders and 'Rents
So the presiding elder said that men and women are like watches, if you touch the watch it is not that sinful, but if you try to wind it up, that is the sin.
So next time I am feeling amorous I will ask my husband if he will wind my watch.
Oh dude why do you want to go and do that to someone, these assholes ruin more lives than they ever help behind their closed doors wake up.
Ynot,
I agree with you that many women in the religion do not develop into mature adults emotionally and are stunted in some sort of adolescence. At least that is the way it seemed to me.
Thankfully, I wasn't raised in the religion and I came in as a young adult. I already had my own mind and a healthy sense of self-esteem. Some time down the line I was baffled at what I perceived to be 'childish' behavior on the part of some women. It was as you described. They weren't really adults emotionally but viewed the men as father figures or authority figures - even when the women were waaaay over age to even feel this way. I can see a young lady up until the age of 30 maybe acting so reticent, but not somebody way over 40. This is not flattering or normal, in my opinion.
I now know that the way I feel is part of the reason I was viewed suspiciously while I was in the religion. I am my own person.
As far as anybody not reporting something serious to the police because they didn't want to 'bring reproach on Jehovah', I didn't buy this. The way I see it, the sovereign of the universe doesn't need anybody to shield his name from anything. Besides, they always said we should be in subjection to the superior authorities. Funny how they don't think this applies to them as well.

During the meeting, he said he did touch the girl, but it was "over her underwear." So the presiding elder said that men and women are like watches, if you touch the watch it is not that sinful, but if you try to wind it up, that is the sin. That is porneia. He explained to us that he learned that at Kingdom Ministry School.
So how was the accusation of you 'grinding' porneia in comparison?
Excuse me But Does the witchtower care about reproach on Jehoobies name when they sue somebody in the congregation.
There have been several cases recaounted on the board where the WTBTS did just that.
One case they actually only dropped charges because of a concerted publicity campaign by posters on this board ( it was in Canada)
This "REPROACH" thing only works to the convenience of Crooklyn.

And another thing about this "REPROACH" non-argument:
Read the Bible, it is crammed with the hypocrisy, lies, incest, fornication, adultery, murder, gang rapes, double-crossing, massacres, idolatry, child sacrifice of all those claiming to be servants of the "One True Stone Age Death God" - God survived didn't he? Did he have it hushed up with gagging orders like in Californy?
The WT is now on such shaky ground, they fear every revelation of what is really going on in the Kingdumb Hells around the world.

Forget the elders. Forget suing. What this man is doing is illegal and criminal. It's called sexual assault (inappropriate touching without consent). The women should go to the police station and file a report. What State are you in?
Cheetos,
This guy really needs to be ruined for sexually assaulting women.
He has a position of trust and that is even worse.
THIS Bonafide is steering us in circles.
he is either a mole or he is a child
