@SLO TS: Brother Wilson said he made a bad mistake by stopping at a Worldy Bar
As opposed to a WT Bar?
@ SLO TS:The Elders scheme to get him off without telling his wife
If he had elders willing to "get him off", why did he need to hire a hooker?

Our Spin On Sunday's Lesson "Spending Long Periods Of Time At Beth-hell and R.B.C Might Lead to Homosexuality or Incest.
by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker insunday's lesson is a doosy, it's very good advice for all jws with professional skills and abilities to avoid offering up their time for any period over a week, lest they might get lured in to a sexual relationship with another man, woman or animal or perhaps incest?.
why does the watchtower have problems with jws who have jobs that require long stays and travel?
keeps them off welfare and provides for their familes, they are control freaks!.

Yeah, if it weren't for the intellectual soberness of Anthony "Human Hot Dog" Morris Cubed, and the maturity he brings to the GB, I might have doubts too...

Latest on UK Court Case - Unbelievable!
by skeeter1 injehovah's witness elder denies cover-up at church over 'massaging half-naked schoolgirls'jun 20, 2014 12:53by ciaran jonesdevoted churchgoer mark sewell rejected suggestions his seniority in the barry congregation meant allegations of child abuse would be "swept under the carpet".
mark sewella former jehovah's witness elder today denied massaging half-naked schoolgirls because he knew his church would "cover up" the allegations due to his position.. devoted churchgoer mark sewell rejected suggestions his seniority in the barry congregation meant allegations of child abuse would be "swept under the carpet".. the businessman, 53, denies 10 historic sex charges against girls and women in a period spanning more than eight years.. during cross-examination by prosecutor sarah waters it was put to the defendant that he "took the risk" of massaging topless schoolgirls because he believed his standing in the church would spare him from allegations of wrongdoing.. ms waters said: "what i'm suggesting, mr sewell, is that it was a cover-up and no-one was allowed to talk about it.".
greying sewell, wearing a navy suit over white shirt and patterned blue and yellow tie, told merthyr crown court: "not at all, no.".

@ Oubliette: Wait, I thought he just denied it! How could that the parents "always knew" and not "mind it being done" if it never happened?
.
I guess what he meant was, he denies the charges, but if he had massaged the girls, and if they were half-naked while being massaged, the parents would've been okay with it.
You see, he's so used to elders getting away with this kind of idiocy in the cong. without so much as an eyevrow being raised, he has no clue not everyone is as gullible as Jehovah's Witnesses.

these brothers must have developed the "gay habit" with bethel brothers, and their wives must have developed the "gay habit" with single pioneer sisters.
.
It's amazing they could even find the time to be gay, considering all the pedophilia and incest they're also committing. I guess time management is the key.
Since being gay is a "habit" (like smoking), isn't there like a patch they can wear....

Kicking the "Gay Habit" at the IC
by breakfast of champions inheard from a reliable source that this was part of friday's program.
they even interviewed a "former gay man" who "kicked the gay habit".. evidently kicking the "gay habit" is difficult, not unlike quitting smoking or avoiding sugary snacks.
the persons who related this to me found the whole thing to be laughable at best, but honestly seemed quite disturbed by it (which is good!

Not much has changed since 1976:
*** yy chap. 5 p. 39 par. 10 Masturbation and Homosexuality ***
"Contrary to what many persons think, homosexuals are not born that way, but their homosexual behavior is learned."
------------
LOL.
@ skeeter: "now gay is just a habit like eating too many Twinkies". Is that a pun?
.
Yes, and hiring prostitutes is just a habit like eating too many Ho Ho's.

"some studies have shown"
= Someone in the WT Writing Dept. knows a guy who had an aquaintance who's best friend heard about a twice-removed third cousin's ex-girlfriend's brother-in-law who worked with a closet homosexual who knew another closet homosexual who once studied with JWs but became a Scientologist and travelled a lot.

Now the WT is worried about academic problems
By "academic problems", WT means they've missed some meetings and their field service hours are under 10 a month.

WT Says O.K. To Visit With Disfellowshipped Family Members...Discreetly!
by JW GoneBad indiscreetly!.
that was the word the speaker used to tell jws at the regional convention that when the need to visit or associate with d'fd family members....okay to do so......only discreetly!.
on friday morning in the 6 part symposium entitled 'what must be kept in second place?

Disfellowshipping is arguably WT's most powerful control measure. Allowing for even "discreet" association with a DF person undermines the fear that keeps the R&F in line.
Aside from that, think about WT's standard argument for why the DF arrangement exists:
1. It's a "loving arrangement" because it shakes the DF one to their spiritual senses, and
2. it protects the congregation, the family members, and proves our "obedience" to Jehovah.
If WT now allowed associating with a DF one to be done "discreetly", it opens a big can of worms:
1. Does the WT not "love" DF people anymore? After all, shunning them was proof of WT's "love", so allowing association must mean they no longer love those people.
2. Does WT no longer care about "protectiing" the flock? After all, the across-the-board mandate of shunning was for the flock's protection. If WT allows association, it must mean they no longer care about protecting the flock.
.
Besides, doesn't "discretion" really mean do it on the sly, pulling a fast one, being 'secretive', putting up a false appearance? WT has historically condemned this type of behavior, classing it in with lies, deception and leading a "double life".
Finally, if associating with a DF person "discreetly" is okay with the Great Hypocrite, Jehovah™, why didn't he just tell the WT this from the very beginning and save everyone decades of grief?
