a young brother was df'd for having sex with a young single mother with a young daughter who was studying with the congregation.
she got pregnant and they married. she suffered with mental illness.
the brother sexually abused the young girl. he was reproved but not disfellowshipped even though he did not go to the police voluntarily and at first denied the abuse. sound repentant??
the girl subsequently attempted to kill herself. while on the way to visit her in mental hospital with an elder's wife, she explained to me that the young woman had to take some of the blame for the abuse because, due to her mental illness, she had not been "giving her husband his due" and he had become sexually frustrated.
i was shocked by this reasoning.
this brother has still not been df'd, although he smokes, fornicates (with a new single mum! no less) and god knows what else that his frustration causes him to do.
coincedentally, his father was an elder in the congrgation. it's not who you know...
