    I'm sorry, sex parties?

    Involving 200, plus another 200 knowing but not reporting?

    Sounds like something the sex-obsessed JW's would make up,

    not something that happens in real life.

    200 sounds like too large a number to be df'd at one time, and another 200 reproved? I don't believe it.

    I remember Bartell (he was fondly called Ballbag). He trumpeted that info. I was a new elder then and it was really stressed that these "sex parties and wife swapping" was happening there.

    I missed that good stuff as a JW. Shit.

    BonaFide,

    I don't doubt your notes, I just doubt the story.

    Three posters have heard that before, looks like a good possibility it happened.

    Trouble with that theory is that I'll bet everyone who posted on this thread heard the story about Smurfs being demonized, too... that didn't make it true.

    Another possibility is that there was indeed an entire congregation disfellowshipped... but you know JW rumors always turn it into a seedy sex story. Heck, for all we know, it might have been from them studying the bible...
