WING COMMANDER:
I was raised Roman Catholic and remember the confessional with the priest. There is a priest behind a dark fabric screen seated in profile in a booth and you are kneeling in the dark on something cushioned and you talk to him from the other side of the screen. He does not know your identity.
Now contrast that with the Jehovah’s Witnesses: Some elder sees you and knows all about you and tells all the other elders about your ‘sins’. Then he ‘slips’ and mentions something to his wife who gets on the phone and tells whoever, etc. Nothing is confidential and eventually some people in the whole circuit will know about your private problem.
I also agree that nobody in their right mind should be confessing private sins like some moron to anybody. Remember that others are just as sinful as you are. I also believe that too many JW born-ins are infantalized by the religion and can’t think for themselves. As a person not raised a Witness I picked up on that!
Calm down Sea Breeze. I'll be happy to continue our conversation but I don't want to derail this topic, it's just impolite. If you'd care to continue just copy and paste your last comment as the opening post of a new topic.
I hope you do.
I love how all these vids are leaked and watched ; talked about,, probably even before the intended viewers the circuit overseers,,,are watched & talked about.
God bless whoever does this.
When I was about 14 years old, I had a job stocking shelves after hours at a hardware store. The owner was christian and would play focus on the family with Dr. James Dobson on the radio when we worked. There was this two or three part interview with Ted Bundy.
Ted was basically saying that " Adult Material " lead him into becoming a serial killer and the whole time Dobson was kind of loading words in his mouth, like he had an agenda. You could see both men were absolute narcissists. Then Dobson went on to say he watched hundreds of hours of ( not work friendly ) and then to testify in congress against the adult film industry. I was like WTH man.
I still remember it being one of the most messed up things I have ever witnessed.
I think you can find the interview on youtube.
@nicolau,
I stated my case rather succiently, which you failed to address. If you have a better solution to the problem of evil than what Jesus offers, then why don't YOU present that in a new topic?
If you really don't have one, you just end looking like another atheist blowhard with an ax to grind against Christians.
I wonder if the elder that ADMITTED to watching the porn was the secretary or school overseer of the congregation?
None of the elders want those positions as they require a lot of work.
It looked like there were only 4 elders on the body so they probably wanted to keep the honest one if he was carrying a lot of the work load. Maybe snitch elder can take over those responsibilities once they kick the other guy to he curb.
Why didn’t they ask the elder if he jerked off while he was watching the porn? That would have brought a whole new dynamic to the situation as that becomes a judicial matter and he could be disfellowshipped.
The elder blamed his wife for not putting out enough causing him to watch porn. The other elders seemed to think that was ok reasoning. If in doubt blame a woman!
If you have a better solution to the problem of evil than what Jesus offers, then why don't YOU present that in a new topic? - Sea Breeze
I kinda thought Nic offered the same solution to the problem of evil as does Jesus:
I would love to see EVIDENCE that proves otherwise.
Pornography must be a major problem among JW elders, thus the video. But this may backfire on the Watchtower. After viewing the video, elders who watch pornography will know to keep it secret if they want to retain their position in the congregation.
The Watchtower encourages JWs to inform on each other and in the video the snitch elder is commended. But what happens in real life? How will the snitch elder will be viewed by the other elders after the CO leaves?
Athanasius - “Pornography must be a major problem among JW elders…”
Its one of things that - like spanking the monkey - WTHQ would absolutely love to clean house…
…but if they did, there wouldn’t be enough guys to keep things running.
Par for the course when your ideology is so sexually repressive…
…nobody in the Org is gettin’ enough, everyone on TV is so hot, and the pressure just keeps building and building.
Sooner or later, somethin’s gotta give.
