  Watchtower/1986/1/1/pg.13

  
  12 Shocking as it is, even some who have been prominent in Jehovah’s organization have succumbed to immoral practices, including homosexuality, wife swapping, and child molesting. It is to be noted, also, that during the past year, 36,638 individuals had to be disfellowshipped from the Christian congregation, the greater number of them for practicing immorality. Jehovah’s organization must be kept clean! (1 Corinthians 5:9-13) This is a time for congregation elders, ministerial servants, and indeed all our brothers and sisters to avoid any circumstances that could lead to immorality. Loyalty to Jehovah’s standards will be rewarded, as Psalm 97:10 states: “O you lovers of Jehovah, hate what is bad. He is guarding the souls of his loyal ones; out of the hand of the wicked ones he delivers them.”
  
  If the couple staying in your home are sleeping in separate rooms, there should be no problem. But the minute they sleep together in an unmarried condition, then they would be judged as committing immorality. And if you are aware of this and "allow" it in your home, then you are "sharing" in their sin.
  Then the elders would have a field day with you in the back room. It would depend on your body of elders what punishment they would dish out. That is, if you are a JW.

  Remember, it says to "avoid circumstances that could lead to immorality"!

  We have all of these but some of the booklets

  will not show a date, so you might want to check

  and see if any of them are what you are looking

  for. We also have Russellism Refuted from 1905

  but that is a year after the dates you give.

  Over here at the Internet Archives, there is a small booklet

  showing a publishing date of 1881. I have also seen this

  same booklet with a date of 1886. (By Cook) Over on the right

  you can download it if you want. Just click on PDF.

  Jan:

  
  

  Over on this link Jan. If someone on this board feels that I have not shown the kindness I should have, then I apologize right up front with no questions asked. Whether I was really in the wrong or not. Keeping peace here on the board is more important. Big hugs and squeeze from Petra!

  Atlantis,

  I respect you, but your scold is misplaced. I will not argue the matter further.

  We love you all too! Some people feel that the members of this board are the only real family they have.

  Their JW relatives have shunned them and make them feel as if they are not part of their family anymore.

  Won't even talk to them on the phone.

  What a terrible way to treat your own flesh and blood, just because of 8 pot-belly drunks at Watchtower Headquarters.

  When it comes to the "likes" clicker, just throw me another slice of that Dutch Apple Pie, and I'll know you sent a "like"!

  Cold German Beer for everybody!

  We men should tally up and send the ladies out for a "Ladies Night" so that they can entertain themselves.

  And send Simon a case of ale too!

  So many of you out there working your tails off to make ends meet and keep your nose above water. You deserve a break now and then too!

  Cookie thief!
