  For those who aren’t aware, when Moriah says she was “privately reproved”, that means that the elders *punished her*.
  

  
  

  Private reproval is a form of punishment inside the church where you are under restrictions.

  
  

  JWs will often punish all parties in consensual relationships outside of marriage and they apparently treated a 14 year old as having done that.

  Former JW Elder here. The reason Moriah was punished is because within JW policies, a minor can be a "willing participant" of their own abuse. Yes, you read that correctly, a "willing participant".

  
  

  That's how twisted their policies are. If you google "JW CSA willing participant" you can find a lot a examples. All these reminds me of a phrase I read shortly after leaving the JWs:

  Pennsylvania is a wide open any religion child abuse situation- they allow marriages at age 14 I believe it is. What is that but child abuse done legally? Old men/ young girls sick! And they call it a spiritual marriage.

  That is so powerful and so true.

  Everything about the Borg is follow direction and obey no matter what, even if you don’t understand just follow direction no matter what.

  I remember lots of wTowers giving experiences of those who said they didn’t understand direction but followed it then later they were so please they did.

  just obey no matter what is the message. Take the vaccine no matter how many people it’s damaging still go and get your booster shots
