thinkers wife: I read what you just said. I believe at those times (Bible times) those rules may have or would have worked but, we live in a whole new world now. People can't possibly believe those rules would work today. I never heard of anyone following the Bible to the letter. That just sounds crazy to me. I am not going to be judgemental with them. I believe everyone has the right to worship God in the way that best suits them.
dungbeetle "Now turn with me to Genesis, now turn with me to Revelation, and so on, not giving you a chance to catch your breath. What to do about that I don't know.
hahahaaha well thanks for the warning anyways..
dungbeetle: here's something for you: at the kingdom hall, a young boy can carry a microphone. a girl cannot. why? To me, if they forbid a girl from carrying a microphone, they should forbid a girl to clean the kingdom hall toilets as well
Why can a 13 year old boy get up and give A BIBLE READING but a woman with a college education, advanced teaching credentials, and ten years on the writing staff at Bethel not get up and just READ THE BIBLE? Even sitting down,, she can't do it?
That's a good points you every talk with them about that?
I wish I could take one of you with me I bet you would have a lot more to ask than the few questions I have for them.
Room215: Danni, for your own enlightenment, that was Yo Yo's pre-baptism face you just witnessed on this page.
Once you're dunked, Yo Yo's fangs come out; Item One on the post-baptism agenda for you will be ``sit down and shut up!''
LOL So you think I am in the making of being a Jehovah's Witnesses? Not from what I have learned in here. I'm a strong minded person therefore they would not be-able to take complete control over my thinking. And there are some things I disagree with like, no taking of blood to save lives. Trust me I am not the type of person they want for their religion. I could never just sit back and keep quiet.....After talking with people here I am looking foward to meeting with them this sunday....

OUTLAW Hey Danni,Check out the last 2 lines of the second paragraph in yo-yos post."The elders should immediatly contact the Watchtower legal department to recieve guidence on what the law expects us to do."
Yes I did notice that. Yo Yo, why do you call the legal department of Jehovah's Witnesses when all you have to do is call 911.? This is what the law expects you to do. No matter what state you are in. I have read more at silent lambs. There are those who believe because there has been cofessions between the preist and the perpetrator (or Elders as you call them) they don't have to report this. I have to wonder what kind of preist(elder) would not want to report this kind of crime.
Believe it or not but sexual abuse can ruin a person's life forever. Especially a child.
Look into the mind of a victim for a moment: They go through the changes in their emotions of feeling it was all their fault this happened to them. They believe they are being punished for something they did wrong. They are ashamed of what others will feel about them. They feel they are marked no matter where they go. They don't feel "normal" any more everyone is clean except them. They ask questions over and over what could they have done to prevent this from happening. Notice it's all their fault in their minds. It's hard to convince them they are not to blame. They are embarrassed for the rest of their lives because they know it only takes one person to throw this in their faces. They live in fear of this happening. The guilt the suffer is endless. True there are some that can bounce back without help but this is very rare.
I have received so many letters in less than two days of my coming on here from people who suffered this crime . They are privatly suffering now. I am not going to send those letters to you because it will i would be breaking their trust of me. I just want you to know it's heart breaking to hear so many stories of persons suffering in private like this. I received a letter that read: "I gained a lot of weight because I knew he would never hurt me again if I looked bad and was fat" My reply: I don't know how to really tell you that it had nothing to do with the way you looked it's just something rapist use because they can get away with this in court. Our society says it has somethign to do with the way women dress and she was so pretty he couldn't help himself. This is bull men can control themselves, there are many men who will stop when he sees this is not something she wants and what about the kids? what kind of person is turned on from a child?"
Yo Yo I understand that you too can become upset over everyone attacking your religion but as i said, before i don't believe all the jws are like this. I don't believe they love their children any less than the outsiders. Instead of feeling pity for a person who chose to break the law instead of getting help for himself/herself let's feel for the victims.
I know I went a bit off but you if you read these letters you would understand.

Whats the strangest watchtower/awake article ever
by sleepy inwhats the strangest watchtower/awake or other publication article you,ve ever seen?.
i know theres some very strange old articles , but a few years ago there was one in the awake if i remmember right which had a picture of two brothers holding hands on the ministrty.. one was african the other white.. apparently it was common for men to hold hands in this country and was perectly normal for hetrosexual men to do.. a brother who was a missionary recounted how he was shocked when out with a local brother for the first time on the ministry and the brother took his hand in his.. a lot of people though the article was very odd and didn't like it.

Blackcat Another Watchtower classic....
1961 "The blood in any person is in reality the person himself. ... poisons due to personal living, eating and drinking habits ... The poisons that produce the impulse to commit suicide, murder, or steal are in the blood. Moral insanity, sexual perversions, repression, inferiority complexes, petty crimes - these often follow in the wake of blood transfusion." (Watchtower, Sept. 1, 1961 page 564)
I don't mean to make light of what you are discusing but that's funny LOL. If someone receives my blood he will began a career law enforcement? LMAO.
Will Power "Does that mean that a Loyal JW could give blood and the recipient would start comming to the Kingdom Hall?"
My thought exactly Will LOL.

SixofNine Danni, just letting you know that I am enjoying getting your outsider's perspective on things. I wish I could have the opportunity to video your "interview" with them
I enjoy getting the inside perspective on this. If I could find a way to video this believe me I would. I am going on suday to talk with them ( I think ) they left me a message offering me to come by on a meeting day. I think Sunday would be best because I can take a few hours off. I am getting my questions ready now. I am not going to give those questions to them sooner you all are right they should answer them up front. I am not going to be disrespectful but I am going to be serious. Let them know some things about the law if that will help the members to talk when being abused. THIS is so important to me.

Hey OUTLAW, Yes I am still learning things I read at silent lambs everyday now or night. This is a whole new world for me. The information is fascinating to me. At the same time, I am not letting over cloud my thoughts. The things are so fascinating to me because never would I have believed the Jws had this much drama going on LOL.. I mean think about it..My family always hid when they came by, we had to stop playing and go inside until they left because my mom didn't want them preaching to her LOL..We always had to stay quiet when they came by it's funny now that I am looking back on it. My partner said, he always called them the possey because they were in groups. LOL...Now I find out my life could have been this exciting. I am talking about the other scandles I am reading about LOL.. The good ones (good slaves) bad ones (evil slaves) LMAO This is too much. I told my partner about it, he was on the floor. He really believes I am making this up.. I like it though. Just hate the child abuse shit...

Hello everyone, I am tried as hell.
thinker As an active JW would you be kind enough to explain to Danni why JW's first must confront a brother/sister privately (within the congregation) about an offense and why you need 2 witnesses or a confession for the person to be found guilty?
What kind of justice system is this? What child molester will wait until some one comes around before molesting a child? that makes no sense. That's nonsense.
YoYoMama
The odd thing is that child molesters are disfellowshipped and become ex-JWs. Now they are all alone and their families shun them. Maybe they come here for support, so they can learn the truth about the truth.
in other words you will send child molester back out to the public so they can molest other childeren? . The sick part of this is: It means they are free to molest children outside of your religion.the public has no knowledge of these very men/women running lose and free in the community because some Jehovah's Witnesses didn't report the sick bastard to the police.
Yo Yo after reading a comment like that from you, I can't respect you. Have you ever heard the cries of a mother who's son or daughter was found murdered after being raped by a person the community had no knowledge of?? Do you know what it's like to walk up to a parent and say "I am sorry to inform but your son was found strangled to death.??" Most of these crimes could have been prevented from taken place if just one person reported it. Tell me, are the jws who keep these secerts keeping them, in the name of their God? Does he approve? What do you say when you pray at night ? "thank you god for not letting anyone find out about the men/women in here who molest our children??
How many Jehovah's Witnesses on this board is in agreement with yo yo? If the ex jehovah's witnesses had said, the jehovah's witnesses secertly robbed banks at night.I wouldn't have thought twice about it. But children being raped and the abuse going on in the name is god is no excuse. I will do everything I can (if i find just one jw raping a child here) to see that they are put away so long their own family will forget how to spell their names.... GOT YO YO?
To the others in here. Pleae excuse my angry at the moment I had a bad night LOL .. Car chase, he was a teenager just going out for fun but the kids just don't get it. I thought for sure he was dead when he slammed into that damn tree. I don't mean to tell you my problems on the job. But sometimes someon can just push you the wrong way....
