Don't buy anything at the meat market or yard sales or else you could turn out like me?
by dissed ini don't know how this happened and how they met, but a relative, a jw elder and my old po talked about us leaving the wts.
(he said this to my wife).
they reasoned, how could someone, who was a pioneer, bethelite, worked at the rbc, district and circuit level, taught at the pioneer school, helped dozens to baptism, suddenly and inexplicably, leave jehovah's organization?.

Do you Know of any JW Pedophiles who Currently Go Out in Service ?
by flipper inmy wife suggested this thread and i agree it's a good idea to put this out here to find out.
just wanted to give her credit for the idea.. most of the public have no idea that some of the jehovah's witnesses people calling at their door are a previously convicted sex offender or pedophile who may have served hard time in prison for their crime.
it would be interesting to have an informal survey here and get an idea of the sheer numbers of these child molesters who are out on the loose.. in your opinion - how would the public react if they knew that child molesters were regularly calling on their doors ?

Well, I know of one who was recently reinstated, but I don't know if he started out in service again.

Shared Child Abuse News with JW about Nancy Garrido being a JW
by flipper inwent to the post office the other day and saw this older jw , an elder, was outside holding the wall up leaning on it while being frozen standing there like a mannequin holding watchtowers and awakes .
i had one of my news releases from a sociologist explaining that phillip garrido used nancy garrido and the jehovah's witnesses to get out of prison so he could have access to children for sexual crimes ; thus enabling him in 1991 to kidnap jaycee dugard.
the title of the article is : " sex offender phillip garrido used jehovah's witnesses to get early parole ".

I saw an interesting interview with a sex offender/pedophile. Lisa Ling was doing an interview with convicted sex offenders that live on this secluded campus. Sorry, I forgot all the details. But, one of the men she intervied said that he went to church to be close to one of his victims. He also said that it was an act to make it appear he was a decent person by attending church. That point really stood out to me. I really couldn't watch the whole show. Those people really disgusted me.

What is the reasoning of Israelites being allowed to have concubines?
by EmptyInside inwere they all foreign women?
it seems to be contradictory too, because they weren't to have marriage alliances with other nations.
but, i guess using the woman as a sex slave and baby making machine was okay.

I looked it up too and it mentioned how it helped increase the population faster. But, my question has to do more with, why the Israelites copied the nations around them in this regard. I never got a clear explanation in the Society's literature as to why this was practiced by Jehovah's so-called chosen people. Shouldn't there have been a higher standard for them? How awful for the women living as concubines. It seems they were just property.

You especially have to watch out for those "sex demons. A circuit overseer gave a talk about them at my old congregation one Thursday night. It makes me wonder what he was smoking.

It certainly takes maturity to realize it isn't all about looks. Yes, you want to be attracted to your partner and all, but a relationship can't stand on that alone. I admit, I always went for the cute brothers, pretty boys actually. And that is probably one of the big reasons I am still single. There was too much competition for their attention. And my heart was left broken many times. At the same time, I passed on some nice, decent looking brothers. So I guess I was shallow.
And I do know a lot of the young brothers had a rating system for the sisters and the standards were pretty high. I know of one brother in particular had a system that rated the sister by cute, pretty, and he only knew of a couple really beautiful ones. So flash forward about 15 years or so, saw him at a convention. He did marry a pretty sister, but he got fat and lost his hair. Hopefully his wife values his other qualities.
But, that all being said, I think there are a lot of pretty sisters of all ages. There are some rural congregations where a lot of the sisters wear no make-up and dress like 1985. But, then, the younger ones more than make up for it.
And DaCheech, if you saw me at an assembly or convention, I probably do have a sour expression on my face. That's because I really don't want to be there.

Oh no peaches, that is horrible. They killed an innocent animal because of their delusions. I would have reported them to an animal welfare agent. There seems to be one or two crazies that are extra obssessed with demons compared to most Witnesses. I knew a couple single mothers who thought pretty much everything was demonized. But, killing their cat, that is the ultimate low.

Okay, well, let me clarify my question then. What is the Society's explanation of this matter? I think I looked it up some time ago, but never found a satisfactory answer.

It seemed like sanctioned fornication and adultery.
