Rape would not happen because that is doing something that is against someone elses will.
The same would go for theft. You are taking something that belongs to someone else. Not cool.
As for immorality...what exactly would that be?

i have more to say on this and its implications, but i'll keep this short to get some initial discussion.
to those that believe in god, suppose he were to hypothetically change various standards of right and wrong, suppose with the new scrolls to be opened.
things such as rape, theft and immorality are now perfectly fine and acceptable.

Why doesn't God ever heal amputees?
Apparently he cures cancer and performs all kinds of miracles on occassion. It is pretty crazy that not once has ever deemed anyone who has lost a limb to be worthy of a cure.
Weird.

the society at the time believed that some demons or fallen angels were honest and could be saved and return to god's organization.
[6] angels and women, they believed, was channeled or "dictated" to the author by one such fallen angel who was honest and told the truth about pre-flood conditions on earth.
Can you say .... PURE INSANITY?

between all that and studying for meetings and taking care of the house i had little free time.
i show up at the hall at 6:00 am on the day before christmas and no one is there.
she knows i'm da'd and doesn't care.
Welcome aboard!
I also want to congratulate you on figuring it out - and GETTING OUT.
It is truly encouraging to learn of so many people who are waking up and leaving this silly group!
Peace to you!

our local newspaper reported the following today: 'rest on the sabbath.
heed old testament dietary codes.
and be ready for jesus to return at any moment.
Why do only 37% of people who were raised as JWs stick with their heritage and continue as JWs?
Primarlily this is because the religion is effing INSANE.
Anyone with intelligence eventually figures this out.
Then, those with intelligence who eventually do figure it out, need to have a measure of courage to actually leave.
Sadly some with weak intestinal fortitude stay in despite the fact they know it's evil.
In the end 63% of all people raised as JWs are both SMART enough and COURAGEOUS enough to get the hell out.
And that my friends, is THE TRUTH.
Deal.

i didn't want to read to much before putting up my story.
some time in the late 80's i heard from my parents that my brother now a jw.
my family had been through some ups and downs so it wasn't that big a suprise.
Welcome aboard Marty!
It's always encouraging to hear a refreshing report from a distant land.
Nice escape! Glad you weren't in for too long.

this text is from the wtb&ts publication gods kingdom of a thousand years has approached- 1973, pages 206-207.. .
the correcting of a misunderstanding.
48 it is true that the editor and publisher of zion's watch tower and herald of corpses presence calculated that the "presence" or parousia of the heavenly bridegroom began in the year 1874 c.e.
The old publications are very funny indeed.
I wish there was a way for all JWs to read some of these old publications so that the exodus could really kick it up a notch....oh wait....
the internet is here and the exodus is in full swing! Yippee!

PS: do something worthwhile today and email a friend / or former friend who is still stuck inside the cult - a link to a mind opening website - or cut and paste a quality excerpt to plant a seed of truth.

Wow.
It sounds absolutely INSANE, but I am intrigued nevertheless.
