Nope. I know for a fact of one molester that was in our hall. He was disfellowshipped and his wife divorced him. No talk and no warning. His victim was not a witness but took place at his place of employment. He is a registered sex offender now but even when he switched congregations no warning was given. I am close to the elder body over at his new hall and asked why no warning was given. He said they can't publicly but that if he is reinstated he will personally warn everyone. We will see.

Have you ever heard a talk on child molestation following a judicial reproof?
by NVR2L8 inwhen someone is reprimanded by a judicial commitee there is usually a talk given to the congregation about issues that leads to serious sins.
sometimes that talk takes you by surprise because the reproof was private and no announcement was made to the congregation.
other times you figure out why an individual was the object of a judicial commitee...i heard talks on the usage of drugs, cigarettes, pornography, bad forms of intertainment, fornication, adultery, fraud, gambling, disapproved medical treatments...but never on child abusers and mostly how to protect your children against this terrible crime.. do you think the reason there is never mention of child abuse is that if many knew there is a child molester in their midst they would pressure the elders to go to the autorities?

Welcome Jake.
Im a semi-active witness working on a fade to inactive. I would recommend that you follow Clarity's and the others above(and probably soon below) advice. Ask the tough questions of those that study with you. Read www.jwfacts.com. DO NOT GET BAPTIZED before doing a thorough investigation. You will have not freedom of choice once you're baptized.

Who Like Me, Feel That The Olympics Are About As Exciting To Watch As A Dog Turd Turning White?

My wife and I are huge fans of the Olympics. Summer and winter. Not of every event but pretty much like Leolaia said, all the individual events are great. I think it because I like the idea of being the best at something out of the entire world.
I have actually been able to turn it into an apostasizing opportunity. Our kids compete in a few sports. She is very supportive of them. So I say stuff like, "their parents must be so proud! Their kid is one of the best in whole world at such and such thing." "wouldn't be amazing if our kids did something like that one day!"

Who On This Site Would You Like To Meet?
by minimus inthere are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".
and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.
simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.

Were you a JW trophy wife? Not necessarily a serious thread.
by FlyingHighNow insal, it's funny but things were much more shallow in the dubs.
i noticed some of the ugliest blokes getting pretty little trophy wives so long as they had a job or were the sons of elders.
my dad (an elder) even went so far as to encourage me to come back to the dubs because i would easily pull a good looking wife .

Trophy husbands are popular too. Elders, COs, MS school grads, bethelites....any brother with a title greater than publisher or Ministerial Servant are considered a catch. (who cares if he is a chauvinist asshole)

Jehovah's Snitches
by Gnosis indo members of a congregation usually snitch on each other for "sinful behaviour" a fellow member is caught doing ?.
like smoking for example.
how common is this snitching in the name of jehovah and is it encouraged by elders or in propaganda works ?.

@konceptual99 That meeting was torture. Especially the bible reading with all the,"you peoples way is not adjusted properly, the Slave is Jehovah's channel so they are adjusted right. If you don't see it their way you are not adjusted right", crap!
Oh yeah, back on the current subject, it is a demonstration of your love, loyalty, godly devotion and spiritualality to be a tattle-tale rat over the smallest of infractions.
