This is another great video from Theramin Trees called "Punishing Doubt"
Fantastic reasoning, and very well presented!
Really worth watching!!
"Punishing Doubt". The need to be "loyal" to the society. GREAT video

Yes, I've seen that video before. Every JW needs to watch it. Unfortunately they won't get it.

It was a good video but the producer seems to be under the impression that if Jehovah existed he would disapprove of child molestation and should therefore do something to stop it.
But if we search the scriptures we find no such prohibition and in fact there is at least one instance where Jehovah orders the rape of younger girls (Num 31:17). As for boys, the prohibition against homosexuality in Lev. 20:15, if we examine the wording closely, we find that it only applies to a man lying with another MAN in which actual penetration takes place.
I'm not saying that Jehovah exists. But if he did exist, there is no reason to believe that he would disapprove of rape, least of all the rape of children who aren't married and therefore cannot commit adultery by definition.

Good point Rainbow_Troll.
After all, God had no issue with Lot offering his daughters to be pack-raped. Nor did he have any problems with Lot committing incest with his daughters.
Nor did he have an issue with the Isrealite soldiers keeping all virgin girls from the nations they destroyed. Keep them for what purpose one wonders.

Where did you get that idea about the producer
I noticed that he mentions Jehovah's Witnesses in the context of child abuse towards the end. The scandal is spreading. Good!

Hmph.
Definitely helps explain why those clowns in
BrooklynWarwick really don't seem to grasp why it's such a big deal.
