i knew of 1 person that should've been reported to the authorities for fooling around with his sisters when he was an older teen and they were much younger.

it was hushed up by the elders, as this was considered a very prominent family.

the allegations were made probably 20 years ago, well before i was ever in that hall.

We have known at least two rapists. One served a sentence in prison but later in the congregation served as a MS. No one knew that he had been a rapist.

Another raped a sister and the elders drove past her home to comfort the rapist.

There was a presiding overseer that was a child molester. No children came forward but he molested his own children.

Two regular pioneers (fleshly brothers) molested young boys in the hall. One was finally caught and served a prison sentence. However, he is out now and back in good standing in the congregation. While he was disfellowshipped and in prison a COs wife thoughtfully asked about him "how is that poor brother" while conveniently forgetting to ask about the young boy that he had molested.

Another pioneer/ms we knew got caught up in a love triangle with a couple of young boys. He went to prison but is now out and in good standing.

Another elder molested his granddaughter. Never went to jail.

There was a Pioneer that had molested a few young girls and never went to prison. He was setting himself up to work alone in service with young girls.

So many to recount, it is rather repulsive.

I am glad that you are taking it so well because I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face. Their behavior is intolerably cruel. I am glad though, that at least one person smiled at you and showed some sort of fellow felling.

OUTRAGEOUS WACKTOWER COMMENTS!!!!

by anewme in

jw

dont you think it is odd that out of all the religions the wacktower maintains a question and comment forum for its sunday afternoon obligatory meeting?

what does this accomplish for them?

i think the question and answer form of meeting accomplishes three things; .

Many years ago, we had the sweetest little old lady in our hall who was mentally challenged, and she loved to comment during the watchtower study. My dad, who was the conductor, would call on her. Our family really liked her. Anyway, there was the study on Joseph and Potiphers wife. (If you remember the picture of Joseph fleeing from her grasp.) Well, she raised her hand and my dad called on her, and she said in her gruff little voice, "Well, Joseph is wearing a dress, so, he is a transvestite. He isn't going to be in the paradise." I still smile when I think of her.

JW told us: Actually only 800 Annointed left!!

by Lady Liberty in

just recieved a e-mail from a active jw friend.

my mom was talking to a friend from bethal and they were talking about the number of the 144,000 that are left(..... and i talked briefly about this)and how they feel that there are actually less then 800and remember .....i said there had been a talk or something on it?

well i guess it was a wt article that we studied(well i knew i had heard it somewhere!

Lo-ru-hamah

My mom and I were discussing this the other night. We added up all of the anointed that we have known in different congretations and others that we have met. We came up with knowing about 40 anointed. We then figured that we had met 6000 different witnesses. The percentage worked out that .675% of the witnesses we knew were anointed. If then you calculate that number to work out you can figure that approximately 40,500 of the 6,000,000 witnesses partake.

Of course this is supposition, and maybe my math is wrong (?), but it seems awfully odd that there are so many that just two average witnesses know. I think that they (the Watchtower) greatly deflate the number of partakers.
