To SCREAM or not to SCREAM???

    JW women have a greater need than JW men to stay ever vigilant and attentive of the Watchtower's back and forth rules and regulations which they have the nerve to teach is "new light" from God. Why is this? If a JW woman is raped, she may actually face disfellowshipping from the body of elders who will interrogate her soon after the crime has occurred and will listen with the utmost attention to every little detail. Depending on the "new light" from the Governing Body, if she doesn't scream during a rape, she will be charged by the Elders as an adulteress ... someone who may have actually 'enjoyed' the violent act because of her silence. Yet, this rule has changed back and forth several times. In effect, if a JW woman was raped in 1964 and she didn't scream, she would be disfellowshipped. If another JW woman was raped in 1969 and she didn't scream, she would NOT be disfellowshipped. Therefore, if a JW woman does not want to be branded an adulteress and taken away from her loved ones by the hate crime of disfellowshipping, she had better pay particular close attention to the latest vacillating "NEW LIGHT" from the Governing Body.
    Take a look for yourself at the following list of insane "new light" vacillation.
    It's enough to make you want to ....

    (Doctrine not yet in force...pending flickering new light from the "holy spirit").

    Is this God's Holy Spirit in action? Do these vacillations in rules and regulations indicate that God is behind the men of the Governing Body?

    I believe what you're saying cyrano, but do you have any documents from JW's "organization" that supports this viewpoint? I'm just interested because it does effect me in a MAJOR way. I would like to be able to walk into the offices of the elders that "df'd" me, throw this supportive evidence on their desks and then tell them they are going to "answer" to their god for "stumbling" me!!! Not that I'm going back - I just want a little justice.

    Any real info you have would be extremely appreciated!
    Thanks

    This is one of my favorite examples of strobe "new" light.

    Keep up the good work cyrano and welcome to the board.

    Thanks for the update Dungbeetle, it's amazing how they can push this garbage on victims who have suffered through such an horrific attack.
