Aha! A pedofile! There seem to be lots of them that didn't get DF'ed.
I think the reason is that the society want to handle such things very quiet. If such a man would be DF'ed the congregation might start asking questions.
Have you heared about the Candace Conti Case?

Inactive for 25 years!
Great tribulation! Just relax! Nothing happened in 1975! It's just morbid fantasy to scare people to obedience.

Not even Outlaw (our Master) knows Michael Porter! I myself have no idea who he is.
But he is probably not DF'ed

There is a bunch of elders and MSs here. Most of them are "under cover brothers".
I think there is a thread about elders here...look for it.

Panters, here you have a thread started by a JW. This is one way they usually act! http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/276061/1/Are-you-on-Gods-side-or-Satans#.UyIyfz95OSo
One post, and then they disappear!"

Panters, yes there are some witnesses here. Most of them are still in for family reasons, to get their loved ones out. There are also a few active believers here that are trying their best to preach the watchtower dogma.
In fact, this site startes as a site for active JW's, but the possibility of being anonymous here and to raise questions in open discussion made a lot of the earliest members here fade or dissasociate.
Of course active JW's are welcome here. Some members might be provoked, if they have ben treated very bad and disfellowshipped, but I hope everyone will treat you good. But there will certainly be some jokes you will hear.
i found this while perusing through old golden ages at the new york public library.
it is so patently ridiculous and offensive, i thought i'd just post the thing without comment.

" Although my favorite line has to be from an article I remember on masturbation back in the early-mid-80s (probably 1984, if memory serves). Seems like they had several articles on the subject right around that time. Regarding whether it was really a serious sin or not, it reasoned - I swear I am not making this up (but then again I was just a wee lad so my recollection may not be perfect): "Would you masturbate in front of the congregation?" How in the hell do you even begin to reply to such an asinine question?
BTW, ten bucks to whoever can find the article first ;)"
I just wonder if those sign-language guys read that article!

court rejects missionary lawsuit against netanya schools for voiding leasethe tel aviv magistrates court has rejected a claim by a missionary group, saying that the school they had been renting space in unlawfully voided their contract , and asking the court to instruct the school to pay nis 108,000 in compensation and mental anguish, as well as legal expenses.. it began when a missionary group, via a non-profit organization called "mitzpe l'yisrael", rented space at the raziel school in netanya to conduct daily afternoon activities.
shortly after signing the rental agreement , the school authorities discovered that the group was, in reality, the notorious missionary sect of "jehovah's witnesses".
Only as long as they can hide the truth from their own members; that they were acting under cover with anonther name of that missionary organisation.
i was watching this q & a by peter boghossian (autor of the book a manual for creating atheists) on youtube:.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zksbmdcczvu .
around 17:15 min, he explains that there are difficulty levels when it comes to religions in aplying these techniques.
Hmmm, JWs and universalists are the hardest ones, that's interesting.
Normal fundamentalists are very honest, like telling ;"you are going to hell" etc......but universalist hide behind a liberal intellectual facade..
Maybe in a way there might be the same dishonesty among JW's expressing thier true beliefs. A JW is trained to spread the word , not to discuss his/her personal wiews. A preaching JW is in "field service" mode, not in his/her true personal mode. When things get a bit tough a trained JW will change subject or leave the discussion.
OK, some thoughts from me.........I think this subject is really interesting. It's probably about psychology, maybe also abut cgnitive dissonance.
Indeed! :) Just follow the "signs"!
