Hi, I've seen the various stances on rape from the questions from readers but have lost track of where I saw them layed out. Can anyone get me the dates of the magazines or copies of the quotes? Thanks,
Detective
Where can I find the rape comments?

AWAKE (3/8/92 p7) "Profile of a Potential Rapist"
*Emotionally abused you by insulting you, ignoring your views, or getting angry or annoyed when you make a suggestion.
*Tries to control elements of your life, such as how you dress and who your friends are. Wants to make all the decisions...
*Gets jealous for no reason.
*Talks down about women in general.
*Can't handle frustration without getting angry.
*Doesn't view you as an equal.
*Intimidates you...
Sounds like this should be titled "Profile of a Spiritual Rapist"!
The book by Diane Wilson (Awakening of Jehovah's Witness) has quite a few quotes from past articles regarding rape.
Example: (AW 8/22/89,pg 24) "If a woman does not cry out when attacked, it indicates she is submitting to the man and is committing a sin against Jehovah".
Example: (AW 3/8/93,pg 4) There is an article about rape in which it presented as "myth", views it had previously insisted were "truth"; and as "fact", views it had previously insisted were "false."
Detective, I hope this helps a little. If you would like more scriptual quotes from this book, please let me know.

Kent's site has them up and so do the 'quotes' site...except for the 1998 which everyone leaves off for some reason. It's important becasue just yesterday someone referred to this doctrine the PAST TENSE...this policy is STILL IN EFFECT and now approaching it's 40th year at least.

By the way, thanks very much for your help, folks! I was recently loaned the WT Cd-rom and wanted to know where to start looking.
This is appreciated.
When I speak to my friend, I'll probably substitute the word "little boy" for "woman". I wonder if that's what it would take to show just how wrong that whole rape thing is. Disgusting.

Well, I'll come clean. Since I'm so worldly, I actually mugged a jw and after defeating her two accompanying angels in a raucous bout of fisticuffs, stole the WT CD so that I could sell on the black market for drug money. Unfortunately, it's not drawing much interest among my crack dealing friends, so I'll just review it and see what I find.
