A relative of mine, who was baptised, had sex with another baptised person, and when questioned about it to the elders, she readily admitted to it, and was disfellowshipped. However, since the young man denied it, and basically called her a liar, he was not disfellowshipped. She was punished for something that, according to the boy, didn't happen. How can the elders believe one story, but not another? BTW, she was around 17 while he was 25.

15 for fornication....
Anyone see a pattern here?
It's all those scriptures in the Old Testament about men giving up their daughters to strangers and visitors and such.
I think they truly believe they have a biblical 'right' to a pedophilic view of the world, and women, and children..
Where is that scripture? In Leviticus somewhere?
I bet we could say it is very dear to the GB. Of course they wouldn't say so.
Theocratic War Strategy, you know.

Well, I know of one example, anyway. Lot offered his daughters to all the pervs outside his house! Later (he was "drunk) he had sex w/ them. What a great guy!
Well, I separated company at age 14, got the official notice of my "new status" after my 15th birthday. Offense? dissobedience to my parents. Next thing you know, diaper wetting will be an official call for meeting with the elders............

i think i got you beat by 1 year, although i may be wrong about how old they were at the time, i think the following is correct.
although it wasn't a DFing or DA it was announced that they s/b treated that way
they were all brothers to each other
one was @8-9
one was @91/2-10
the last was @12
all in one shot, at one meeting
they were stealing from the poor box, i think.
I assisted in an appeal-committee with a 17 year old sister, df for spiritism.
Edit: she might have been 18.

Disfellowshipped for spiritism??? What did she do? Get caught reading her horoscope or looking at those damned fortune cookies?
Well, this is a little weird. Here goes.
Two frat twins. Both boys. Grew up theocratic. One gave in to pressures and baptized at 13 but the other didn't. As the boys grew older their hormones kicked-in. They both got into girl troubles.
To make a long story short, the baptized twin got df-ed for fornication at 15. He goes to meetings, sits in the back, and everybody shuns him, he can't talk to anybody, he can't go anywhere, and nobody talks to him in the house. The unbaptized twin who laid on more girls than his brother during the same time period, and even got one girl one pregnant, didn't even get so much as a public reproof. But the unbaptized twin can go to meetings and sits with his parents, gets to talk to everybody in the kingdom hall, gets to go to gatherings and parties, and he can talk with his parents in the house.
The baptized twin, starving for association and quite depressed as a loser, became antisocial. But he was reached by a good guidence counseler in high school who took him under his wing and became his mentor. He picked-up his grades, joined a positive christian youth organization, cleaned-up his act, did very well in the remaining two years of his schooling, ended up going to college on partial scholarship. But he is still df and wants nothing to do with JWs. His parents goes to visit with him in secret. While they fear the elders, they know that this situation with their son is so wrong.
The unbaptized twin did pretty well in the congregation. Never baptised - and thankful. Confidential rumor (if there is such a thing) being that his parents never encouraged him to do so. Can you blame them? Well, he left home and got married at 18. Doing ok. Comes to the meetings every once in a while just for old times. As soon as he walks in he his greeted with open arms. Deep inside he condemns them all because if his brother were to walk in they would give him the cold shoulder. And he did worse than his brother!
What's wrong with this picture?
Sorry -- ended up a long story anyway.
i was never baptised and therefore never could be deepfried (new zealand speak for d'fd)
one thing i would like to point out is that being raised as a jw you have a 'superimposed' conscience and when you 'go out' the shit really hits the fan and you wild bcos you think 'well if im gonna be bad i mite as well be really out there'. then its later on you realise you cant live like that and slowly develop your own natural born conscience. my experince anyway.
