I was just doing a bit of research about life as a JW "youth", so I decided to click onto the WTBTS`s web site at www.watchtower.org to get their viewpoint.
I typed "youth" into the internal search engine, and, bingo! 20 clickonable references to youths. Hmm, I thought, this could be useful, so I typed "disfellowship" and eagerly waited the outpouring of WT references.
All I got was an "err"!
OK, lets try "disfellowshipped". Aha, one, ONE reference to buying a bride and some oblique reference to people who have been DF`d for (you`ve guessed it!)_ _ _ outside of marriage. ( You fill in the blank spaces).
I know! DisfellowshipPING! Now we will soon be cooking! What`s this? Only ONE reference again, this time to a child custody case? Whats going on here? Is DF`ing now such a rare event that it`s now hardly worth mentioning?
Seriously, why is that the official JW web site teems with information regarding blood issues, and yet has virtually nothing to say about its loathsome habit of shunning? There was plenty of material there a few months ago, now it has all been removed.
Could it be that the WTBTS is about to rescind it`s DF`ing policies? Or, is it that they are terrified of having the pants sued off `em, and they are getting rid of the evidence!
