right now, there are a lot of talks on this topic in quebec and, at the mid week meeting, they are reading the letter sent in 2002 where it states that the elders will call the authorities if the law forces them to.
the strange thing is, it looks like even when there are laws to that effect, jws seem to believe that it does not apply to them.
for instance, i know that they do not report anything in quebec, even if it is the law!
Why should it take a LAW to make people report such things?
Would it not be reasonable that the (god-given) conscience should prompt someone to report?
If one heard of an attempted or actual murder, does that need a LAW to prompt someone to report to the police??

now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
but all the women children that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.. *sigh*.
it's not that i haven't seen this passage before.
Hey Schnell, you need to go to youtube and watch "messed up bible stories"
Enjoy their great take on all these sorts of accounts!

Yes!
When we start seeing these accounts as they truly are: Disturbing and Disgusting, there is simply no excusing it!
If someone acted like that today, witnesses would rightly condemn him...so why not then?
After all, isn't there a scripture that says "Jehovah is the same always. He never changes"?
Hmmm....
imagine noting the not at homes down in this village.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fucking%2c_austria?wprov=sfla1.
If there is a large group of people in that Scottish town, it would be a "lot of Twatts!"
well beards are still a no no!!!!!!.
in a new letter from the branch/gb nut's, beards are not acceptable in the us branch area!!!!!!.

Seriously, this is just like the scribes and pharasees...."making endless rules" and "binding heavy loads on the shoulders of men"
WAKE UP witnesses! This kind of inappropriate control over personal choices is a sure sign OF A CULT!
from an article in the herald sun newspaper wed.dec.7,2016 ," a convicted perverts plan to open a childcare centre have been given the green light by the victorian civil and administration tribunal".
" he was found guilty of wilfully and obscenely exposing himself on five seperate occasions between 1982 and 1997.".
apparently" he masturbated in front of two 16 year old school girls asking them if they had a good look and if they enjoyed that.".
As the ARC said : This shows a lack of understanding of the nature of ones who offend"
I would like everyone to be given the benefit of the doubt, and the chance to change...but to do so with caution. Not to allow him to open a CHILD CARE centre for freaks sake!

It is almost as if they were testing out the waters to find any rebellious ones when that article came out! Those that were "potentially rebellious" would grow a beard, and then they could be spotted easily and targeted!

Can you provide a link or scan of the letter?
