If a woman doesn't scream out for Jehovah when being raped, she committed fornication.
Say what? I've never heard or read that.

Thus Saith the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses on the subject...
If a woman doesn't scream out for Jehovah when being raped, she committed fornication.
Say what? I've never heard or read that.
"Is Rape Fornication If the Woman Does Not Scream?"
The answer, according to the WTS at various times, has been:
YES

Ahh, 1964 -- I assumed we were discussing actively-held positions. The more recent publications have taken the position that women do not have to say anything or fight back. Also, it doesn't look from that citation that they ever said you had to scream for Jehovah in the sense of calling his name out or for him to come help you, which is how I read the initial comment.
I love pointing out past craziness of the Witnesses, but there's so much current insanity that I don't feel like we even need to go back to the old stuff for examples. What are some other current beliefs that people can think of? :)
