JW Sister: raped, pregnant what does she do?, abortion or adoption?
by Olivia Wilde inthis question came out frequently from a situation known to some of us who knew of 2 cases.... if a single or married sister gets rapped by stranger or incest, a pregnancy results, she is not allowed to have an abortion but neither is she allowed to give it up for adoption?...i always question why not up for adoption?...
no you will be blood guilty because the child won't be raised in the "truth"... hmmmmm does anyone heard of that?
is it a matter of consciousness?

If I remember correctly, it wasn't a conscience matter, at least not years ago. The mother would be responsible for seeing that the child would be brought up properly. I think that even having other Witnesses adopt the baby would not be an option because there would be no guarantee that they would remain faithful. -

Maybe I missed the answer, but I haven't seen what the changes regarding Ezekiel are. Has the meaning of the mark changed? -

The OP said the CO's visit would be reduced to 4 days instead of 6 and would take place 3 times a year. Did that happen? -

I wonder if all who are in the school (incl. children and less-skilled speakers) will do the demonstrations or if it will be only those who would qualify to give demonstrations in the Service Meeting. -

Do they do as much farming at the (erstwhile) Watchtower Farms as they used to? And do they still have the "hotel" at Patterson? It still makes my stomach knot up when I think of all the money, and volunteers' time and money, used just so visitors could spend the night. -

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?
by Funchback inthere were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

My older brother who is a prudish die-hard JW and his just-as-prudish JW wife got bent way out of shape because, while at a gathering at a couple's house, I made a comment about their dog's nipples. You would've thought that I said the F-word. I asked, "What's wrong?". My brother responded, "You said 'nipple'".
I asked him, "Since when is nipple a bad word?". He and his wife covered their ears and made sounds to drown out the word 'nipple'. "Argh! NO! You said it again. Stop saying 'nipple'!".
By the way, how do I highlight text that I'm pasting? Thanks! -

The last few years I attended meetings, whenever a vote involving money was coming up, by some "coincidence" I always went out to the restroom. I think I managed to miss all the votes! (I was too much a coward to abstain.)
