Reporting Live From Orangeburg Assembly Hall

I attended today's assembly and yes, donations were requested.
One of the things that really bothered me was a skit that was shown. The skit involved two Jehovah Witness adult females.
One of the females was engaged. She informed the other female that she and her boyfriend were alone and things went too far. However, it was not disclosed how far things went.
The female who was engaged stated that she and her boyfriend had discussed what had happened. She stated that they both came to the conclusion that it would not happen again.
The female who was engaged begged her friend not to tell the elders. The friend responded by saying that Jehovah was watching. She instructed the female who was engaged to tell the elders. The friend stated that if the elders were not informed of what happened, she would be the one telling the elders.
The way that I saw it was, two adults decided to engage in some type of sexual behavior. The sexual behavior that they engaged in was consensual. They were both scheduled to be married within a matter of weeks. What is the purpose of the elders knowing that they engaged in some type of sexual activity? What are the elders going to do with this information? If Jehovah was watching, then why do the elders need to be told?
Also, in my opinion, sex is something that is personal and done in private. So, why do the elders need to know that a couple in the congregation that is soon to be married engaged in some type of sexual activity?
I am surprised that it was encouraged for the members of the congregation to report to the elders if they know of someone in the congregation engaging in sexual behavior.

2 congregations met together attendance 355 which is close to exact number of combined publishers.

only saw a couple of new faces.

so it looks like once again the invitation work was a complete failure and relatives of jw's couldn't be talked into coming anymore!.

@FedUpJW, what was the purpose of the American Indian drinking the wine? Did he not know that he is not supposed to drink the wine? I am curious to know why he drank the wine.

This man is commendable. There needs to be more people like him. It’s time that the truth about the Jehovah Witness organization is exposed.

i got up late today.

i hear the doorbell ring and i go - not really dressed for company - i stand back and see a jw man maybe 60 years old or so.

at first i was just going to brush him off.

Well, you know how it is. Jehovah’s Witnesses are only to read things that come from JW.Org. JW.Org is not going to report facts about child sex abuse that has occurred inside the organization. They just paint themselves as taking appropriate measures in order to prevent child sex abuse and they paint a picture as having appropriate policy and procedures in place in regards to handling child sex abuse once they know that it has occurred.
In addition, if a witness were to question anything negative about the organization, they are labeled an apostate. Therefore, I am not surprised about the witness’ reaction. It is what is expected of them.

i just wanted to share my excitement.

for the first time in almost 30 years, i am not attending the memorial tonight.

instead, i am spending the evening at home, celebrating with a glass of scotch.
Maria Nieves

Would that be a glass of Macallan that you will be celebrating with tonight? And would the bottle happen to have cost over $80 dollars?

i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.

initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.

however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

Desirous of Change, I had never heard of Macallan. Now I am curious. Thanks to Anthony Morris, now I know what Macallan is.

No. They have not gotten to me. I have been too busy watching the videos of Tony Morris buying liquor outside of Warwick.
