  Is pedophilia an unforgivable sin?

  by cnn77 in

  in my opinion it should be and a pedophile should never be allowed back into the organization.. the children they abuse suffer for the rest of their lives so why should a pedophile have forgiveness and be reinstated?

  Question for Silent Lambs

  sl (bill),.

  as someone with one toe still dangling in the truth i have a question for you.... if you had not gone through the pedophile experience and started your crusade....how would you have felt with regard to boards such as this one?

  obviously most other jw's believe this place is overrun by disgruntled apostates and would want nothing to do with anyone here.. i am just intrigued to know what you would have felt about this place prior to your experience (also about freeminds and ray franz).

  Objection by an elder

  i approached one of the elders with some of my doubts..... i mildly pointed to the fact that the wtbs had been errent in it's prediction of 1975 as well as some of the other "new light" issues.. his response was one which i have heard many times before: "the society is made up of imperfect men.

  interestingly, in 99% of cases most witnesses will accept this explanation and feel guilty for questining a their fellowman ( the humaistic side of the organisation is unconscioulsy impressed onto the mid of the questioner).

  at least that is how it has worked on me - until recently.. the next time i am fed this line of reasoning i would like to ask the following question: "ok brother elder, i accept that they are not perfect.

  as soeone raised in the truth my whole life i am struggling with a basic doctrinal issue.

  the issue has to do with universal sovreignty and the ransom sacrifice.

  let me try to illustrate by way of analogy:.
