Back in the late 80s I can remember my local cong. pass around a paper that had a place for head of house hold name and how much they can afford to give every month for one year. I have not seen this in any others but one. But I remember the elders said they needed to know what they can bank on to know what they can afford to borrow to remodel ect.

This was 40 years ago or more. I don't even know the first name of the girl. She would not remember or I assume she would not because he said she was asleep at the time. I don't live within 1000 miles of him today or where it happened. So I have no guilt. I have no reason to think he lied. He is now in his late 50s. There is nothing to do at this point. If I went to the cops it would be hearsay and 40 plus years old and even if I knew the where the girl lived she would most likely not even know what happened.

I have the bound volume. The cult changed the wording form the single mag to the BV. I need the single mag to show the difference.

When I was about 17 there was a Elders son I used to hang out with. He was 16 but close to my age. His family was a kool aid drinking cult followers. He had told me a story and I have no reason to doubt it was true and is on the lighter side of abuse. Not trying to make light of it. But it was not rape.
He told me that when some of their family friends who also were big kool aid JWs came to visit that the 6yo girl was sitting on his lap when they were driving back from going out to dinner. He said he would put his finger on her vagina and pull it up and say sit up your falling down to cover his feeling her.
I know him well and I have no reason to believe he is a child molester. But no one knows anyone thoroughly. I had forgotten about it until watching one of the JW child abuse videos it triggered in my mind. He is and has been an elder for many years now. I would not say he was not inclined that way but I just never have gotten any kind of feeling that this was more than raging hormones.
Not trying to make excuses for his behavior but I also don't want to say he is evil. Do not get me wrong I worked with him for many years, and we broke up our business because I started to question the cult. Thoughts?

Where does the cult fall on sexually touching each other for married couples.
by mickbobcat inso its wrong for married couples to have oral sex and anal but what about touches to arouse?
to climax i would assume it was wrong.
but what if you go too far getting ready for sex and climax, do you need to go to the cult to confess..

The cult is very sexually repressive. I know they have put out statements over the years on this and that but I don't think they have ever put out a whole article on what is permitted. Reading Ray Franz book crisis of conscience I remember a part that the GB was talking about telling what positions were OK and what were not for married couples. They decided to let it go. But it shows just how far they would like to go.

Me and my future Brother in law at the time were in service and given a copy of 30 years a Tower slave. This was in the late 70s early 80s and we had no way to find out the history of the cult without spending exhaustive time at a library and then I am not sure you could even find a lot of these older books or any counter ideas to the cult. The local elder took it away and gave us a BS story on how the writer was an apostate that would call the police on people he sent out in service so he could be a fake hero and bail them out.

Skin, I never knew they asked for their literature back. This tells a lot, they absolutely hate that they have such crazy crap out there. This is why I collect as do others. I try to find the most crazy crap and collect it first. The 34 year book is expensive, it goes for 3 to 4 hundred. I can not justify paying that. I found a finished Mystery book at a flea market and and sold it to someone on Reddit for 100. A fair price. I try to keep a look out, I once bought a 1968 truth book at a church garage sale and sold it on my etsy account. This is when I started to think some uber dubber may be buying this stuff to destroy.
