  Cases involving minors

  by TheMatrix in

  many on this forum criticize elders as being incompetent.

  i've know a few myself, but you must agree that there are also very good elders also.. well, here is a case and i would like to know what you would do if you were an elder.. a fourteen (14) year old male has sex with a twelve (12) year old female.

  the female confesses to her parents and the parents report to the elders.

  I NEED EVERYONE'S OPINION

  i was recently disfellowshipped, i guess about 9 months ago, but i always figured that i would get reinstated.

  fortunately, i decided that since i wasn't an active witness i could go ahead and read all that naughty apostate literature that we weren't allowed to read before.

  well, i'm glad that i did, because now my eyes are open.

  there is an article in there titled "let's have a hawaiian luau.

  " the first paragraph says that "millions of visitors come to hawaii to...take part in our world famous luau, or hawaiian feast.*".

  The humour of Ray Franz

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm always dipping into c of c and 'freedom'.. in crisis of conscience, ray examines the oral sex issue in some detail.

  he candidly says that this practise did not meet his personal standards but that he was troubled in voting with the majority to enforce a ban on 'rank & file' jw's.. many of these wrote in to the society to question, in ray's words; the scriptural basis for the governing body members inserting themselves into the private lives of others in such a way.... okay, maybe it's just my juvenile mind but it made me chuckle!.

  BEFORE YOU LEFT......

  by In_between_days in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  another question.. this one is for all those that began doubting the organisation when they were an obedient jw.. although i am sure you rarely shared it with anyone, what was the one problem you had with a certain jw only doctrine?.

  what i mean is, what little gremlins lurked at the back of your mind?

  what were the doubts that you kept hidden and what made you finally act on them?.

  "Be Obedient...Be Submissive"

  by William Penwell in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the march 15, 2002 study article of the watchtower says about submitting yourself to the spirit appointed authority of the congregation elders.

  it says in paragraph 11,. our leader is perfect.

  the men he has given as gifts are not.

  If you were wrong about the truth, what else?

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what effect has having a whole section of your life proved to be a falsehood had on you?.

  anybody that has been a witness will understand the time, effort, comitment and money that it took to be a member.

  the way it dominated our lives, affected every decision we made and shaped our future.. some have left and turned to other faiths and some (like myself) have lost all religious faith (and i make no appology for that).
