    It makes me wonder how many JW kids might be from fathers they do not really know as their true dads. Because of their theology, Witnesses would not usually have an abortion if a young teen girl was impregnated by some child sexually abusive brother. Wouldn't there be some cases where this was all kept hush-hush? Surely there must be some...

    The JWs have their share of unwed mothers. Whether the unwanted pregnancy is the result of a wayward elder or simply the result of normal teenage hormones is likely not part of record.

    However, there was a known "baby broker" who had arranged adoptions (some of them illegal) for many families and this likely includes some JWs. Look up Gerald Garner. A lawyer who had ties to Ron Lapin and who also was very involved with a California hospital that was owned by JWs.

    I'm with Nathan Mayas, don't you think that's a little... premature? I mean, you got any proof anything like that happened within Jehovah's Witnesses?

    I think the OP is comparing apples to oranges. The situation with the RC concerns priests who have committed to celibacy. Not the same as the JW org.

    Of course there will be unwanted pregnancies and subsequent adoptions within the JWs but to compare that to a religion that demands celibacy from their priests is a stretch.
