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?

outcast

I would have to see photos and hear all the details,
before I could give an informed opinion.

Society in general, or "The Society?" Is it called that anymore?

In "The Society" it is always the womans fault.

Stupid sign?

i think simon should have a button we can push with a "stupid" sign on it.

that way if some poster ticks us off, we can push the button, and maybe stop flame wars?.

> stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, "i'm stupid".. >> that.

Sorry about the arrows, it was e-mailed to me that way, and since I was raised in the troof, I feel very blessed I know how to turn a computer on. ( We weren't allowed to turn anything on until marriage..wink wink )

As far as the spaghetti thing, definatly tell him to tell the truth.

All of us Italians know how hard it is to gather spaghetti, especially when harvesting season is in the monsoon months of July in Sicily. It's a horrendous job, but someone has to get that spaghetti out of the ground before it goes al dente.

I am completely SHOCKED!
Local news just reported this morning that the man suspected of killing his wife and three children on the Oregon Coast, was a recently disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witness. His name is Christian Longo.

He is still at large, and "America's Most Wanted" is headed out to Oregon to film an episode to help bring him to justice.

I was half awake when the news story started, but BOLTED awake when I heard this part. I am, quite frankly, still in shock.

Thats terrible.

Happens often here, but never a JW involved of course.

He must be a bit looney in the head. Its just a shame people do stupid things and bring reproach on Jehovahs name.

Though i hope they stressed "EX" Jehovahs Witness.

They did indeed stress that the man had been "excommunicated" from "the religion".

However there was apparantly some question as to whether or not the anguish of the disfellowshipping was somehow involved. Apparently, it was not something that was a long time past but just recently done.

I'm concerned as to how that will be portrayed when it comes down to the recreation on America's Most Wanted.

I just read an article on it. It states Longo was disfellowshipped in the summer of 2000 because of legal problems.

http://aa.mlive.com/news/index.ssf?...15a1longo01.frm

In another article I saw, it mentioned that he was disfellowshipped in Michigan. (Thanks Bunky)

Local news has a knack for pointing out minor things as major. oh well what are ya gonna do. Just goes to show that when people leave the truth they really LEAVE THE TURTH. Just about everyone I know that has been DF'd never just puts a foot in the world, but leaps headlong into it like a swan dive into an empty swimmingpool. Sad but true......

I know a family here who were like all pioneers, millions of hours in the field, kids gave talks like they where professional presenters etc. etc.

The whole family was DF'd (those who were baptised) and I heard last week that a family member (also a Witness) went to their house and they had a HUGE Christmas tree, christmas lights everywhere and loads of presents under the tree.

Now how can people sit there in that house - and not be bugged to death by the consience? Because they MUST know its wrong.

The funny thing about it is, it's not far from the truth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMING SOON TO A CONGREGATION NEAR YOU!!!!
ELDER VOICE MAIL

NEVER MISS ANOTHER CALL! HANDLE CALLS EFFORTLESSLY

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.....
member of the congregation calls the "congregation crisis hot line" a warm pleasant concerned voice
answers:
: hello! you have reached{insert congregation name} crisis hot line.
all of our elders are busy at this time, but please stay on the line. we are concerned about you and
your problem- your call will be answered in the order that it was received. While you wait, please enjoy
the calming music from kingdom melodies#8 while listening to the repaeted reading of hebrews 13:17"

when they get thru they hear:
"thank you for waiting. If your problem is of a personal nature, please press#1 now
if you have a dispute in the congregation please press #2 now
if you have a complaint about the elders or the organisation, please press #3 now.
If you dont know what you want, but you wnat to keep your elders from dinner,study,or time with their
families, please press #4 now

äfter pressing 1 from the main menu they hear:
"if you have done reasearhon your problem in the societies publications press #1 now
If you have not done reaseach press # 2 now"
if they press #2 they are disconnected.
if they press one they hear:
"if you dont understand your reasearch and wish assistance from an elder, press#1 now
if you do understand it but dont agree with it and you want an elder to tell you its ok press #2 now"

If they press#2 they are disscnnected.
if they press #1 they hear:
"the next available elder will be called from a rotational list at home

äfter pressing#2 from the main menu they hear:
"if you have read matthew18:15-17,press#1 now
"if you have not read matthew 18 :15-17, press#2 now

If they press#2 they are dissconnected
if they press#1 they hear:
if you have applied matthew 18:15-17, press #1 now
if you have not applied the scripture and dont want to, press #2 now"

if they press #2 : phone gives off a 240 volt shaock and is disconnected.
If they press #1 the next available elder is called.

after pressing #3 from the main menu:
The call is traced and recorded electronically and a S.W.A.T. team from bethel is dispatched.

after pressing #4 from the main menu:

They hear a special recording of"Uh huh, oh I see, its OK, dont worry about it"etc, which is played
continuously as long as the person is on the line.

THIS PROGRAMME WAS SPONSORED BY E.A.S. (elders against stress) a small group of dedicated yet stressed
out elders whose goal in life is to get enough time to sleep, study, prepare meeting parts and to recognise
at least 60% of their families by sight.

Here's a crazy thought

by JBean in

jw
friends

in reading recent threads from scumgrief and yoyo... they are happy and active and are defending the organization.

i just had a thought of what jesus said that in coming to him and the truth, one might lose brothers or sisters or mothers, etc., but in doing so, they would gain him and an abundance of other "family".

(paraphrased of course!

outcast

That is a very good thought JBean. <ignoring fed up>

I know all my years of being a Witness, when work mates and associates found out I was one, they respected that. They also respected my beliefs on the holidays, birthdays, voting etc. The witnesses have little or no respect, and no boundries. And would leave their mother, father, sisters and brothers and their cats, dogs birds and fish to rot, if it meant getting one extra day of eternal life for their little selfish selves.
