Just before the morning adjournment in the Australian proceedings the judge played an absolute blinder.
He asked the elder as in Deuteronomy would the Jehovah's Witnesses stone a woman for committing adultery?!
boom!

No. We follow the principle. She if she is disfellowshipped she is, in effect, dead to us until she repents. We also are no longer under the mosaic law. We do however follow its principles -

We stone her "spiritually" but using cold-hard stony stares when we pass her on the street... -

Sorry I should have explained it better. During the questioning of Ron de Roy de Roy mentioned using Deuteronomy and the fact the witnesses do take the scriptures literal. The judge the went on to say in accordance to Deuteronomy would Jehovah's witnesses also stone a woman for adulterery!
Basically the judge pulled out an ace card lol.

Two witness rule yes
Stoning no
So simple and yet I never thought of that one. Again I'm so impressed with the sharpness of these guys on the jw thing.

I do hope that others who have the chance to question JW's take their lead from the guys on this R.C.
So many in the past, journalists and Courts, have just rolled over and accepted the "It's in the Bible" excuse.
Challenge it.
