  I don't think they discriminate. Gilead students are chosen from around the globe. Lately, each class has had 1 couple from Japan. According to US laws for official schools, a certain number of couple have to be from the U.S., the rest can be foreigners. Couples that speak a second language have a greater chance to attend, specially those that speak spanish or french. Being black is not issue. fyi...Gilead school lasts 20 weeks.

  Having that attitude certainly won't unite the family. See the real problem here?

  A form of child abuse?

  by MavMan in

  55 year old woman gets disfellowshipped for having sex with a 15 year old boy.

  isn't that child abuse?

  does society in general see this different if the abuser is a woman?

  By "society in general" I did not mean the WTBTS, I meant people in general as in nonJWs also.

  I don't know the details on witnesses and all that, I just heard of the reason for disfellowshipping. I don't know if the young man was disfellowshipped also.

  dungbettle: No did not go to the memorial, I live in Texas. Did you?

  I don't believe that they are saying Circuit Overseers are apostles. They are comparing the work they do to that of Paul, Silas and others that travelled and visited the congregations. They visit congragations to encourage their brothers and sisters.
