I was conducting the Theocratic Ministry School years and years and years and years ago and announced the #3 speaker up to the platform. This of course was the sister/sister talk at the table. Up comes the publisher, Sister So-and-So and her 25 year old daughter as her householder. Just one thing was a little strange. Her daughter was about 6 months pregnant and unmarried. It didn't know what the h#ll to do so I just let them proceed. That whole meeting is still a blur to me.
Any time you didn't know what the h#ll to do and just let it ride?

So my question is, what happened after the meeting? Did the other elders get together with you and discuss what to do with her? Was there a meeting of that type and what happened with the whole thing? -

Her daughter was not baptized.
" ...Sheesh " we said, " let's make sure that never happens again..."
What do you think should have happened afterwards?

Do not pass "GO", do not collect $200!? or pray that nobody noticed. -

Imagine if the birth was premature & her water broke on stage. Now that would be something to see!

Immaculate conception?
We had a young sister in our hall who got pregnant and her mother was very vocal in insisting that she hadn't had sex.
At one point someone literally said "Jesus, are we supposed to believe it crawled up her leg !!"

Three years ago we had an elder's fifteen year old daughter get pregnant and the father was a fourteen year old "worldly" boy. The rest of the elders let him stay on as an elder until they saw that this guy's pregnant daughter had no intentions of marrying the boy. All this was going on right under the elder's roof. This elder even gave the prayer on memorial night.
His daughter would come to the hall dressed up in a short yellow dress with black fish net stockings and six inch stilettos. She wasn't baptised then but after having the kid, she got baptised and is now the great do gooder spiritual example for the congregation.
I always found the ones that are really messed up and are elders kids get away with murder.
