Non JW related, PA. politics.
Did Pennsylvania House Republican leadership take a page from native Pennsylvanian Nathan Homer Knorr?
President Knorr punished Charles de Wilda.
'The Bethel workers were instructed to not give him money, and a letter was sent saying the same from the Bethel headquarters directed to the congregations in the area. I heard later, that eventually Charles de Wilda died on a park bench in a public park.'

Tom Mehaffie on Friday he had several days to vacate the office space he occupied in the Capitol East Wing for the last six years.'Mehaffie is the lone Republican holdout on an effort to force Democratic House Speaker Mark Rozzi of Berks County to call the narrowly divided House into voting session. Mehaffie refused to sign a letter needed for a parliamentary maneuver that required support from all 101 Republicans.'"House Republican Leader Bryan Cutler of Lancaster County last week declined to discuss any disciplinary actions being contemplated.”

I know of a 30 year old brother that married a 16 year old from our congregation. They were dating when she was 15. No one batted an eye.
The dating pool is shallow in the jws. There is not very much selection so they don’t have a lot of choice.
There was also a 55 year old guy that married a 25 year old sister. Brothers marrying women 20 years older than them.

'Henry praised members of the congregation for stepping forward and says some faith leaders are enablers that could lead to further prosecutions.'

SOLOMON & BETH SARIM:
I have heard of every extreme of people who get married in the JW religion: from some young guy marrying an older woman to the increasingly more prevalent older JW guy looking for a younger woman or even a teenage girl.
Yes, we all know the dating pool is shallow in the religion. There are probably twice as many women than men there which makes the most undesired man look better in the eyes of some desperate women there.. But, to me, this is like saying if there were a housing shortage a dirthole of an apartment would be desirable just because someone needs a roof.
As for the older guys (mostly sheltered born-ins) looking for an 18 year old girl: they don’t want an older woman with baggage. And never mind any woman who was not raised in the religion. She’d scare the hell out of them.
They also figure the young girl has no sexual experience which is good because they don’t have any either! So, he will get an “A” in that department since she has nothing to compare him to.
It’s all pretty screwed up there and I always felt any woman over 30 with a brain and an ounce of self-esteem has to look outside for a man.

HARRISBURG — The Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday voted unanimously to forward the nomination of Acting Attorney General Michelle Henry to the full Senate with a favorable recommendation.
Ms. Henry had served as first deputy attorney general for then-Attorney General Josh Shapiro before he was elected governor.
Ms. Henry told lawmakers that she intends to complete the two years remaining in Mr. Shapiro’s uncompleted term as attorney general but she has no intention of running to remain attorney general beyond that.
Ms. Henry was raised in Westmoreland County and graduated from Greensburg-Salem public schools. She is a graduate of Allegheny College and the Widener University School of Law, worked for the Westmoreland County Legal Aid Office, and clerked for now retired Lancaster County President Judge Michael Georgelis.
Before serving as first deputy, Ms. Henry dedicated over 20 years of her career to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office — taking on critical jobs including chief of major crimes, chief of child abuse, and first assistant. She was appointed Bucks County District Attorney with a bipartisan vote in 2008. Ms. Henry helped establish the Bucks County Children’s Advocacy Center, a nonprofit that assists physically or sexually abused children, focusing on reducing their trauma while involved with the judicial system.
That work drew praise from Judiciary Committee Chairwoman Lisa Baker, R-Luzerne, who said it demonstrates that Ms. Henry is “not just well-versed in the law and the courtroom, but someone who has actively engaged in community efforts aimed at directing kids in safe and productive directions.”
Speaking to members of the committee, Ms. Henry cited examples of actions the Attorney General’s office has taken in the few months since she took the helm.
Those included making additional arrests of Jehovah’s Witness church members accused of preying on children;
“We’ve become the voice for those who need a voice,” she said.
Ms. Henry’s nomination now goes to the full Senate.
