    LadyL,

    I betcha he used a bunch of OT scriptures to scare them shit-less(because that is where Jehovah is the meanest unforgiving bastard).

    Dang. I would have loved to be at that meeting when the CO made that announcement. I would have raised my hand, stood up and said, "Brother CO, I have a confession to make right now in front of everyone. I boinked your wife and so did half the brothers in this Circuit."

    Heh, heh.

    What is especially amazing to me about this is that the WTB&TS has also said that if an elder is guilty of wrongdoing (like pedophilia) and manages to keep it covered up for seven years or so, it is PROOF of Jeho-ho-ho-vah's blessing on him!

    Um....it means he shagged her Grace.....and so did half the brothers in the Circuit.

    I always figured if they were going to DF me, I'd stand up and cry out: "You told me if I slept with you that you wouldn't disfellowship me!" and run out.

    I'm not surprised.

    Sounds rather like another religion, one that the WTS has condemned time and again, oh, yeah, the Catholic Church, with their need to have a priest intercede for forgiveness.

    Yes! The elders say that only Jehovah can forgive sins and only then if you are repentant. Of course, the investigations and judicial committees are needed to see if you are repentant and determine whether or not Jehovah has forgiven you. This hardly seems like much of a difference to me.

    LADY LIBERTY- Once again the old cult tactic of intimidation through " fear " and " guilt " strikes again ! The elders and C.O.'s are experts at using these methods to whip JW people into conforming. If only the witnesses realized they don't need to confess anything. This Armageddon junk is all an illusion pushed by the WTsociety to keep them locked in the cult

    Oh Mary that is soooooooooooooo good.

    There is a self righteous elder I would love to say that to.
