Read Diane Wilson's book - She goes into detail about the repeated flip-flop on the society's "policy" regarding what the woman should do. I hope you can scan this page you are talking about - I am sure it will make me nauseous to read, but it will be interesting to see what it says.

Well, all in all it says that a woman has to scream if someone is attacking her.
But there is a section in which it is said that Deuteronomy 22:23-27 is rather brief and does not cover situations when a woman is mute, unconscious or paralyzed from fear.
The section states that God knows all the circumstances and that the congregation should be supportive.
I have not checked past articles on that but I remember that to scream or not to scream was a vital question.

It was a stupid article. Made me sick. They just say you must scream at all costs..unless you are frozen with fear .... Stupid religion..stupid questions and stupid answers.I would do whatever I could to try and save my life!.I'm sure they won't be around to take care of my responsibilities if I scream and die because of it!!!
Maybe they should rehearse a rape first? Maybe they should have a talk with illustrations and role plays for the JW's so they know what to do!.If they don't properly instruct ..aren't they bloodguilty for what happens?
Snoozy......

I was surprised during Mike Pence's interview with JR Brown that he seemed to indicate that the policy was still in effect where in certain instances a woman could possibly be disfellowshipped for not screaming.
I cannot comprehend them clinging to this in view of how badly this makes them look and I don't understand how they constantly refer to these obscure parts of the law that was supposedly done away with.
I would also be interested in the scan of this article.
Thanks,
Path

I haven't got it yet, but I certainly will when I do, unless someone else does it before!
