if it was well known in the congregation and some elders knew also , if she had the affair before she got baptised with a disfellowshipped man would she not have to tell her husband before she got baptised ?
Good question because elders would no doubt have divided loyalties about getting another 'saved' for the new system!
I disagree. Nothing stands in the way of elders bolstering their head count. They'd wear her repentence like the badge of an admiral.

So she was married and had an affair and a lot of people already know in the JW community except her husband who is also in that community? Was she married to the same man she's married to now? Or a different man and now remarried? swife.
That's my question -- The whole congregation knows about it, yet this poor schlub doesn't? I'm awed by his tendency not to keep his ear to the floor.
She should tell HIM, but I'd give that advice to anybody.
the subject of pedophilia and the sexual abuse of children often is complicated.
by that i don't mean that it is complicated to know how to deal with pedophiles.
they have a despicable problem in their minds and need to be identified and controlled for all children's sake as well as for their own sake.
"Two witnesses..."
Why doesn't the Watchtower Society just come right out and advertise it? "Jehovah's Witnesses: The first molestation is free. The second one might cost ya."
Despicable.
i came across this on microfilm a few years ago.
the quality is not the best, but it is still perfectly legible.

Say, my name's David! Can I borrow your car?
it seems to me that most witnesses still don't know about the un scandal.
since it has been such a useful tool in helping people see the truth about the lying duplicity of the watchtower, how can we get this message out to more in the organization?
I bought a pack of cigarettes the day I found out about the U.N.,
I know we all think this is a serious issue, but I thought this statement was pretty funny standing alone.

Above-cited article, translated into rough English:

A member of Jehovah's Witnesses was put in examination Thursday by a magistrate of the Court of Bankruptcy of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges (the Vosges), for rape of a 15-year-old minor. The suspect remained free, according to a legal source.
The violation was suspected to have happened between 1986 and 1989, of a young girl of a dozen years in a Kingdom Hall, a place of worship of the Jehovah's Witnesses, in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. The mother of the girl associated with the church at the time. The victim committed suicide on March 22, 2006 in front of the Kingdom Hall, resulting in a judicial enquiry.
Five other people placed in police custody were given in freedom Thursday. These Jehovah's Witnesses could be continued for nondenunciation of crime.
we had an interesting local needs.. first it clearly stated if you are not making all the meetings you will not make it in to the new system period no exceptions.
they twisted the story of the red sea to make an example.
saying you can not disobey once, or else you be left stuck in the bottom of the red sea.. from now on the elders will be making shepherding calls on those that are not attending regularly.. also, it was stated that if you know of any not attending regularly.
Also, it was stated that if you know of any not attending regularly. You are to report them to the book study overseer. So that they may receive a shepherding call.
If this turns out to be an all-congregation policy, it's the most overt encouragement to rat out others that I can ever recall coming from the JW's. That's wagon-circling if ever I heard it.

faith, medicine collide in life-threatening casevu gets court order to use blood for baby of jehovah's witnesses.
The Watchtower Society's prohibition against blood ingestion and/or transfusion is a completely random, arbitrary manner of crowd control.
They could have used any of the prohibitions listed in the Old Testament and said they were edicts from God. Rutherford simply chose the blood issue, I suppose because it was most compelling.
The Watchtower Society arrived at the blood ban dishonestly and cruelly. Now kids are dying because of it.
let me start = "kiss" stood for knights in satans service, "ac/dc" was anti-christ devils children.
"hotel california" was demonic who knew!

It's the Reverend Michael Mills (not a Witness, obviously), demonstrating how rock music is Satanic, through the use of backward masking and sometimes just plain rock-ness. Selection #29 addresses the Queen/"Another One Bites the Dust" conspiracy.
My, how we've grown.
