My Wife's Theory
by breakfast of champions indiscussing the recent boe letter regarding child molestation this morning with my wife (she actually brought it up) , and she commented on how absurd it was - it just did not make sense!
but there was one way that it could make sense.
she said "what if someone at the top on the governing body was a child molester and wanted to cover everything up?

Scenicviewer......Good point. Greenlees and Chitty are the Governing Body members from the 70s who were removed for homosexuality and child molestation, I think. I think it was Greenlees who raped a 17 year old boy.
Who knows what the current GB are into these days? Maybe they're all secretly looking at each other and thinking...'sausage jockey or kiddy fiddler?'

Sab's right. They do treat child rape as sin, rather than crime. I think probably that it's more to do with the fact that they are sitting on a big, fat hefty file full of names of paedophiles in the congregations. They're like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the hole in the dam. If they accede to the fact that they were wrong about their policies, will they be engulfed by historical cases of abuse, based on old misguided thinking about 2 witnesses etc?
Also, that file of names that's been mentioned. (20,000 or so?) Does anybody even know whether it's a list of total sexual paedophiles in the congregations based on allegations? or rather, a list of brothers that the Watchtower considers to be sexual predators? If so, the actual list could be much bigger.

The passage is quite artfully contrived for maximum guilt. I think it won't be too long before they actually suggest that even THINKING about disfellowshipped family members is sin and disloyalty to Jehovah. They're one step away from it.

Deffo Game of Thrones. I'm currently listening to 'A dance with dragons'. I'm hooked.
The Borgias was excellent. Are they really gonna bring out another Deadwood? I was under the impression it had been canned.

newbie here - i need advice
by kassad84 inhello, i've been lurking in this forums for a while but its only now that i've created an account.
i'm an inactive jw, been in and out sporidically these past few years, but its only these recent months after reading crisis of conscience and christian freedom that i think i will never go back there again.. the reason i've been inactive primarily is because i have issues regarding masturbation and porn.
my conscience cannot allow to continue preaching while i continously being overcome by these habits myself.

Eel wrestling is no big deal. Everybody does it. Hell, I bet even the Governing Body faithful and Discrete Slave play 'soggy biscuit' together behind closed doors. Don't beat yourself up over it. It's natural, and it releases endorphines, which beats stress and depression.
If you're feeling low right now, don't pray or go to the meetings, just watch the boom-chicka-bow-wow.

holding off on my baptism???
by madcow78596 inso i've been studying with jws since april 2011.
1 year later i decide to become an unbaptized publisher and take steps toward dedicating myself to jehovah.

My 1 piece of advice is:
Browse this site every day for 10 minutes, for around 3 months.
If you still feel you have any doubts about committing to the JWs after that, listen to what your gut tells you.
You will not be able to discuss candidly any nagging doubts with fellow witnesses once you become baptized.

Soz to hear about this mate, I hope it all goes well for you. Your missus might actually be able to get stuff into perspective being on her own now. She might actually reflect on stuff. Glad the pressure is off you, aswell.
Thankfully, as your lads are in their teens, they will probably handle this okay.
Cheers matey,
All the best

Telling family about "new light"
by Billy the Ex-Bethelite inokay, now it's my turn to start a thread about the gb/fds "new light" now that it's been well covered by many threads.
i've noticed that a few have brought this subject up with dub family who accepted wt "new light" without objection, saying that it "made sense" for the fds to only be the gb.
so i have an idea of how to bring this up with my family in such a way that will highlight that this doesn't make sense... at all.. and the timing of this whole thing is incredibly convenient for me since it wasn't that long ago that this came up with my parents and i said that the wt interpretation of the fds in matthew was out-of-context and flawed.

Your first point about Pentecost and the spirit will probably rattle the most bones. I'm trying to put myself of 15 years ago (when I was strong in the ways of the force) in the chair at a meeting when this one is revealed. Even I would have been able to pick the holes out of that one. My reaction would probably be 'what are they thinking?' and 'somebody is manipulating their own position'. Older folks are used to remembering the ancient partakers from years ago with quiet awe and reverence. Taking away their special badge at this time might jar some JWs minds. After all, they were super holy, right?
