  That aside, how do you suggest family incest should be handled? Who is responsible there? And, according to the WT itself, most of the sex abuse inside the JWs occurs within the family cirCle.

  Very sad for the kids. Government is very aware of this problem in society and does nothing significant about it, and should it, the number of kids is so many that gov is not equipped to somehow help the kids. The church should comply with the statute and it would be very easy to do if the church did not have to call a lawyer to figure out what is required in the specific place where the church is located.

  Firstly, JW parents are taught by the WT that the "brotherhood" is to be trusted over and above anyone else.

  Not with their kids. Imagine that! Who in their right mind would trust their 10 year old girl or 8 year old boy with a grown man? --and then blame the watchtower using your excuse. Also, except for obedience to FDS in meeting attendance and FS, I never heard that JW should go around trusting their kids with other members.

  - "look out for the children of single parents or the child who has an unbelieving parent", encouraging 'brothers' to spend time with children from these "disadvantaged" families.

  Never heard that. And any special attention always involve parental supervision. I am not saying though that elders have no obligation to protect and watch but such obligation is religious not stauatory. Ultimately, the parents should protect their kids and when parents fail to do that, the kids suffer; and then the kids sue watchtower.

  Fink, what is so difficult about watching and protecting your own kids? Sad to say, parents who don't trust anyone with their valuable things, for example, go lend someone 10,000 dollars or less, but they are not that careful in trusting someone with their kids. Would they trust such a person they give their kids to with money or their car, etc?

  Not hard to get df from JW: If you watch porn, or smoke; and if you miss a lot of meetings you get shunned. How much more they will do to someone who is a child molestors. Albeit meetings and fs is not a daycare and parents should not trust anyone with their precious kids -and then blame watchtower.

  what do you think they're hiding?.

  The names of the perpetrators, victims, third parties, church communications, and lawyer/client communications.

  Why do you think Plaintiffs didn't proceed with the case on its merits?

  the article says that the dead chickens are given to the poor but i was told that the chickens are thrown into the garbage.

  (who could possibly eat a chicken full of sin?).

  Another chicken vid.

  In theory, if sins can be transferred to a chicken, shouldn't anyone eating such a chicken, in doing so, have the sins transferred to the person eating the chicken?

  It is interesting that this is a ritual and not a sacrifice and animals that were used for korban back in the Temple cannot be used, only a "clean"animal that was not used in the a Temple for sacrifice. They say that a fish would do the trick but according to Judaism fishes don't have souls so... Thanksgiving, you are next.

  And how much money does the victim get to keep from the settlement amount after subtracting lawyers, doctors and all of the other expensive bills? Maybe Conti took home 400k - 600k after paying all the bills to try the case and that is not a lot of money considering that she is the victim and most of the money should go to the victim.

  Is the husband the head of his wife?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how do we explain the marital role with what paul said in 1 cor.

  “but i want you to realize that the head of every man is christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of christ is god.” (niv).

  read a few chapters earlier at 1 corinthians 7 to see what paul does say about the relationships between husband and wife.
