  Reference:

  "However, suppose a Christian has secretly viewed abhorrent, sexually degrading pornography for years and has done everything possible to conceal this sin. Such pornography might feature gang rape, bondage, sadistic torture, ......When others become aware of his conduct, he is deeply ashamed. He has not been brazen, but the elders may determine that he has ‘given himself over’ to this filthy habit and has practiced ‘uncleanness with greediness,’ that is, gross uncleanness. A judicial committee would be formed because gross uncleanness is involved..... " From the "WT online library" copyright WTBTS.

  and he reports this to an elder, such matters can generally be handled according to the direction in

  Does not not require that he must turn himself in.

  which might include child pornography, sadistic torture, bondage, gang rape, or the brutalizing of women, this would disqualify him from serving

  The person should not be serving whether or not his conduct is known. He should step aside because he is serving in a disqualified state.

  Your quote from the letter (?) says no JC, but your comment says it would be a JC??

  The latest information after 2006 says that a JC would be required if he gets caught or if it becomes known, for watching as a practice over a long time: sadistic sex, sex involving more than 2, same sex sex, and worse. Whereas, if a person actually commits sexual immorality, a JC is required and such person must turn himself whether it is known or not.

  We all like a bit of bondage.....

  Not all. Some people are actually appalled by non consensual sex between 2 adults whether real or fantasy, or anything else that degrades or harms anyone consensual or not.

  No, it was Queens. It wasn't you then. But what a coincidence; at the same time you came, I saw someone exactly like you. I mean same as your avitar -glasses and all. I was driving too, facing the other way. I wanted to yell out the window: "Hey Dub, it's Fish!" But decided against it because at a split second decided it just couldn't be you as the light changed. This happened last week. If it had been you, you would have been the 3rd person I ran into by striking coincidence within the last couple of months.

  "Homeboy", your style of writing and narrative is enjoyable to read. Few here though like sparky and some others can truly relate to and feel your story -like being stuck at a job with no job change and seeing yourself there for 4 or 5 years was very depressing for some.

  Is anybody here listening to what Kim Jon -un actually said

  "One day when I feel like it, I will send you a gift via our ICBMs. In the meantime, I want to do some target practice close to your house because I want to make sure you get my gift when I aim to send it."

  I respectfully disagree. Songer was never NPG. He loved women. Referring to gay, Songer said: "I can't understand it" referring to the attraction. But he was very merciful and compassionate and had so much empathy and understood human weaknesses an desires; and not the sort of elder that wanted to serve in a JC. Magnificent and irreprehensible are words that describe him. He chose to be single expecting the end and praying for a soulmate of extreme beauty someday. A remarkable and loving man, an example; having no flaw in character or in conduct. One of the greatest of men -if not the greatest- in the org. In my humble opinion, he is truly worthy of respect.
