Are all sexual predators pedophiles?
by Lady Lee ini am against the use of the term "pedophile" as it is used within the ex-jw community.
the definition of pedophilia by merriam-webster is:.
sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object .

It is a gray area, and I've never agreed or like that a young man's life could be screwed because he smashed a 16 yr old. We're ok with prosecuting 16 yr olds as adults for heinous crimes and locking them up for life, especially if they're males. However a 16 yr old whore sleeps with a 21 year old and he gets the digital equivalent of a scarlet letter on his record for life is unfair. For the record, I don't agree with going after young bucks either, but c'mon, enough with the innocent purity nonsense.

Misery... one small note my brother.. They are NOT your people.
Breh, yes they are LOL. As much as I'd like to just brush em off like I don't know those weirdos, truth be told I do know them, quite well. People know I'm a JW. People know what I do on Saturday mornings. Like or not we're associated with these people. They are our people.
This article is creepy. Really friggin creepy. Like SD put it, its trickery.

It never ceases to amaze me how crazy this looks when viewing it unbiased. A handful of years ago I would have done this part as if it was nothing. After reading that though it really does make this organization come off as a cult. Its somewhat frightening. If any other religious organization were to print something like this and I came across it, I would say these people are nuts. But in this case, its my own people. Its crazy!!

Treatment of Dfed children
by isaacaustin inspiritual upbuilding..... have you entered into gods rest?
(heb 4:10, 11) all were encouraged to cease dead works (heb 6:1).
self-evaluation: ...ask yourself how you would react to counsel regarding personal lifestyle?

Grandma Jones, its not lightening up. You read the context wrong just as I did initially. Its the same old BS, with a subtle bit of counsel to not go further in association with DF'd or DAd family members than whats absolutely necessary to handle family business.

You know something, you guys are right, I read the context of this completely wrong!!! I looked at the extreme as not to take shunning to the extreme, when its actually the opposite. So they're saying if its necessary to take care of family business, so be it. However, not to associate with DFd or DAd family more than absolutely necessary. They kill me with the "incentive" part. Its nothing short of emotional extortion, and the estrangement of what would be formerly close relatives. Its dispicable.

Thats exactly what i see, and I believe the letter focusing on the word, "Brazen" quite possibly could be associated with this latest developement. Ironic that this is happening right after Jaracz died.

Spiritual Upbuilding….
“Have you entered into God’s rest?” (Heb 4:10, 11) All were encouraged to cease ‘dead works’ (Heb 6:1)
Self-evaluation: …Ask yourself how you would react to counsel regarding personal lifestyle? What if the scriptural counsel differs from personal opinion? Will you be obedient in molding?
Example: An adult child who lives outside of the household is DFd? While the term ‘Necessary family business’ is a term familiar with those in this circumstance; the GB wants to stress there is no need to push this to the extreme! ….Basically to shorten the example and to get to the heart of the matter….. there must be incentive for the DFd person to want to return. Parents are encouraged to give a little but to leave the DFd child desiring for more while promoting their actions as motivate by their love for Jah. The end result is hope that the DFd child in wanting full access to the abundant love of his parents willl also begin to see his losses in not having a relationship with Jehovah and seek reinstatement.
Now this is interesting........
