For those who aren’t aware, when Moriah says she was “privately reproved”, that means that the elders *punished her*.

Private reproval is a form of punishment inside the church where you are under restrictions.

JWs will often punish all parties in consensual relationships outside of marriage and they apparently treated a 14 year old as having done that.

Former JW Elder here. The reason Moriah was punished is because within JW policies, a minor can be a "willing participant" of their own abuse. Yes, you read that correctly, a "willing participant".

That's how twisted their policies are. If you google "JW CSA willing participant" you can find a lot a examples. All these reminds me of a phrase I read shortly after leaving the JWs:

"Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, regardless of what it's right." - H.L. Mencken

Over the past 20 years, religious organisations from the Catholic Church to Jehovah’s Witnesses have had a reckoning with cases of child sexual abuse.
Many states have tried to tackle the abuse by making clergy mandatory reporters of abuse to officials, just like doctors, therapists and teachers are.
However, more than 30 states in the United States do not require church officials to report knowledge or allegations of child abuse if the information is deemed privileged, specifically coming from confession or counselling.
It means that abuse can all too often be hidden - and survivors are left without recourse or justice. Fault Lines investigates how state laws in the US can lead to child sexual abuse in religious communities going unpunished.

we wouldn't shoot the dog
My uncle shot his dog for barking, and waking him up. I remember it being allowed in the kitchen, healing from the wound, it died a short time later.
He worked 2nd shift, but wasn't a witness.

'As indicated at 2 Timothy 2:20-22, we may also need to be careful when choosing our close associates within the Christian congregation.'

50 years ago, my Presiding Overseer had half the congregation 'marking' the other half. You could feel the tension just walking into the hall.

Finally an Elder wrote Watchtower, that there were 2 camps at the hall. They sent in a committee to check it out, and they recommended he be transferred elsewhere, as no one had any respect for him. Which WT did, as he was also a Special Pioneer.

Where is Tony?

on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.
