  Prisca,

  Very eloquent and very true. However, I would hope that we are living in a modern age, where people have learned to accept responsability for their own behavior. I do believe we have made progress in mainstream society, in this regard, but sadly, the JWs are about 50 years behind the times.

  Elsewhere,

  Isn't that the dumbest arguement you ever heard of, regarding the kind of underwear the woman had on. If the guy didn't want to get to the underwear, he wouldn't know anything about it, now would he?

  Now let's face the facts. If the guy is going for the underwear, he really doesn't care what type they are. Underwear, at that point, is just a momentary distraction.

  Get real folks.

  If a brother sees some leg or cleavage, then this will stumble him and he will commit a sex crime and it is not his fault because he was stumbled. It was the sister's fault. Did I get this right?????

  If that is an excuse they like to use and their reasoning then somebody needs to stumble their foot in the "brothers" sorry ass.

  More hot air from academics, we see. larc set up false problem to try trap jw from logical point of view. He again wrong. sex crime wrong. the person who commit sex crime is one blame. but do this mean women should flash legs and cleverge? no it do not.

  if a man flash money from wallet on street and he show plenty of rubles, then he attacked, the robber who atack him wrong. but man should not be showing ruble. it lead to attack.

  same way, it sex crimer's fault for sex crime. whether woman show cleverge or not. but if she show flesh--it speak ill her. make her look like fornicatrix.

  Hi Larc,
  With JW's obession with everything biblical, perhaps they see the example of Eve tempting Adam as the model...??? As I recall there are other references in the bible about men being tempted by women.
  Sounds like a lame excuse to me. There was a popular saying a while back: "the devil made me do it". :)

  bible say it work both way. men are tempted by women and women by men. but person should only have sex with his wife or her husband. you know what mean.

  Russian Hilda: So why don't the Judicial Committees ask MEN whether they wore thongs? Also, your post seems to insinuate that women are evil for showing off their "assets". I think YOU are evil for portraying this obviously male viewpoint. According to the logic of the Watchtower, if a women allows a man to see two little bags of fat on her chest, that means she is condemning him to death. HAHA. Damn, but Dubs can be deluded beyond all belief sometimes...

  Hilda,

  To take your reasoning to its logical conclusion, all women should dress like they do in some middle eastern countries, so men can't see anything.

  You know, every spring the local girls walk down the streat in shorts and low cut blouses. It is a very pleasing sight after several months of girls in winter clothes. Now, I thoroughly enjoy this beauty of spring time, but it does not mean that I or my male neighbors committ sex crimes because of it. Get real Hilda; it is always the man's fault, and the elders ought to know that.
