I thought that Satan little helper was referring 2 a pub punch up,didn't realize what he was talking about.

Satans little helper

no, not a punch up. The elder in question was being spit roasted.

If it was reported to the congregation I have a feeling the homosexuality would have ensured his DFing. They don't like that sort of thing in the deep south - much like the deep south of the USA except we have more combine harvesters and less cotton.

Spit roast huh? Are you sure it wasn't a Spit Shine?

There was a KH in the Houston area that had to be dissolved because of the wife swapping issues in the early 80's.

That quote from the 1986 Watchtower would never be in a 2004 WT. regarding child molestations, would it?.......... In all the years I've been ''in the truth", "wife-swapping" was almost unheard of except there were reports of a couple of congregations, I believe in the Chicago area, where some couples, including pioneers and elders and servants did the "wild thing"......... The way that Watchtower made it sound, this was almost typical of some of the problems the congregations were facing........... I believe child molestation happens a lot more than "wife-swapping".

Hmmm... I do recall a "special needs" talk at my hall that discussed how wrong wife swapping was.

Yeah, hey!

Who personally knew of a wife swapping incident? Like heard it from they're own congregation?

I know from a friend of mine's congregation; not mine. The gossip just flies out the ass when, say, two couples at once get DF'd. Do you think that's what this is about?

Maybe they don't wife swap, LOL! Imagine the Awake! in 2994!!!

"WE'RE THE ONLY RELIGION THAT DOESN'T WIFE SWAP!!!"

But seriousley, who knows if this is true or not???

Not only elders, but it goes further than that. I knew of a CO in the Midwest, who had an affair with several sisters in different congregations throughout the circuit. He was single and was invited over by the friends for meals. One thing led to another. He even conducted the memorial several times at our hall. Then finally one sister wanted to marry him, but he didn't. So she blew the cover on him. Shortly after that, since the case was wide open 8 other sisters did the same.

Elders are looked upon as holy people, yet they are mere people. Granted they are to set the example, yet often too much is expected of them. They have needs and wants too, yet are suppressed by the organizational standards. Quite often it's a matter of time if their needs aren't met in so many different areas. Much like priests who have to live a celebate life. It doesn't work.
