I just realized that my situation has some similarites to hers.
I wonder though: Did your mother forbid you from having a relationship with the JWs? Were you then inspired to carry on a secret relationship? Were you inspired as a 14 year old girl to have special relationship with an a adult male elder?
and unrelated to the core issue but still part of the fastasy world that this story tries to create for the young female JW, Did you have a rich business man and his wife offering to adopt you and give you a pony in exchange for denouncing God (please hold while I vomit at this fairytale designed to wow youngsters who live in make-believe land of imaginary persecution by rich worldly people).?
Now for the main point here. Imagine you are a young female JW reading this article?
Also, Awake magazine is published for the usage of distribution to the general public. What message are they communicating to the non JW single mother who has a young daughter?
Is this article designed to inspire a false confidence for young girls to have secrets from their parents where the JWs are concerned ? especially in light of the question posed on the Silent Lambs website:
"Do Jehovah's Witnesses approve, condone, and encourage accused, confessed, and convicted child molesters to call door to door on unknowing potential victims in the witnessing work?"
P.S. Good observations Jez. Nice work at cutting through the BS
