I doubt he was a drunkard in the video shown above. I think he was just fooling around on the farm.
 
 

They say if it's not a religious festival everyone must make up his mind according to their own conscience. Then they list a scripture that criticises every form of special day whether it celebrates a country, a person, a flag, the moon, whatever. Basically don't celebrate anything. Conscience! They're not allowed a conscience, just follow the GBs rules.

Yes @JOHN BUTLER... please don't talk about it publicly here on the Internet. Only talk to local people who can keep this quiet so that God's Universal Name is not "besmirched".... Oh how I hate the Internet for allowing open communication!
------------------
On a serious note... I like @James Thomas Rook Jr.'s suggestion above.......
Talking to the police and looking for "justice" I would reserve for something taken to the extreme....
I can't tell you how many crimes just get overlooked on a daily basis by prosecutors exercising thier "prosecutorial discretion"....
Rapes and murders top the list of what I think the Police should spend thier time on.
Reports of crazy teenagers misbehaving and acting creepily don't measure up .....  I'm glad this case ended up with nothing more than a scare.
I knew one cop years ago that would beat the pulp out of teenage hooligans and that seemed to solve the problem.
Maybe once you actually determine that he DID do it... you might consider making him wish he didn't?
Ooooh.. vigilantiism....
That is a whole other subject now isn't it?
But if you REALLY care .... don't think telling the Police about this will solve it... UNLESS they know of a string of other crimes he has comitted as well. Maybe then a prosecutor MIGHT act.
How many murders were there in Chicago last weekend?

Depends on who you ask!

I knew there was a reason none of us was allowed to watch "Saved by the Bell"!
Leah Remini played Stacey Carosi

 

Interesting that Leah Reminis Twitter acct is fraught with accusations that she only interviewed fmr DUBS and not active ones. But she begged the GB for interviews... and they declined.

Leah Remini on Instagram right now

They are coming around to the idea that they should watch it just so that if anyone brings it up in field service they can prepare a response...

Did you forgot when the Pharoah asked Moses why he should let the Jews leave?
Moses just replied with "JW.org"

No one is forcing anyone to stay in the religion, just like no one is forcing anyone to pay ransom in a kidnapping situation.

She is perceived as a major threat by the Governing Body

For men who claim to be directed by the one true God to lead his one true religion, you would think they would be fearless in professing their organization's practices and policies to the world.
Talk to the website. ?

This must be the #1 jw phrase of all time.
Even the blue bombshell referenced it.

"The story of God" shows His blood trickle down through the rocks into Adam giving him life.
What was the origin of this teaching?

Western Mail (Wales, UK), Tuesday, November 6, 2018 - FRONT PAGE
An elder member of a Jehovah’s Witness congregation subjected a girl to years of sexual abuse, a court has heard.
Thomas Brian Jenkins, 74, appeared at Merthyr Crown Court on Monday charged with 20 counts of indecent assault against a girl in the 1970s.
The alleged abuse began when the girl was 12 years old and continued until she was 14.
Jenkins, of Landor Road, Redditch, Worcestershire, denies indecently assaulting the girl by touching her genitals on “dozens of occasions".
Opening the case for the prosecution, Timothy Evans said the abuse began shortly after the girl moved to a village in Powys with her family, who were Jehovah’s Witnesses, and became involved with the local congregation.
Mr Evans said Jenkins, an elder member of the congregation, would take the girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, and her older brother out in a car to knock on people’s doors.

But if someone has a mental disease aren't you supposed to forgive and help?
It would seem logical that if a fellow Jehovah's Witness were to be afflicted with a mental disease, we would feel inclined to tolerate their indiscretions, and to offer them support. However, the Bible has provided us with a mere principal, that the holy spirit has evidently directed us to understand as meaning that we should distance ourselves, and even act as if the mentally ill person does not exist. You are surprised you say! Well, let's see what God's word says about how God treated those that were far less perfect than just the regular imperfect ones of us.
In Leviticus 21:17-24, we read the following:
“Tell Aaron, ‘No man of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to present the bread of his God. 18 If there is any man who has a defect, he may not approach: a man who is blind or lame or has a disfigured face or one limb too long, 19 a man with a fractured foot or a fractured hand, 20 a hunchback or a dwarf, or a man with an eye defect or eczema or ringworm or damaged testicles. t 21 No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect may approach to present Jehovah’s offerings made by fire. Because he has a defect, he may not approach to present the bread of his God. 22 He may eat the bread of his God from the most holy things u and from the holy things.v 23 However, he may not come near the curtain, w and he may not approach the altar, x because there is a defect in him; and he should not profane my sanctuary, y for I am Jehovah, who is sanctifying them.’”z
Clearly, the same can be said for those who have mental defects. Just as they should not come near the curtain, or approach the altar of the lord, they should not come near us or approach us.

Can you add an example of a JW Cultural Rule from YOUR area?
Example Trimmed moustaches are not ok in certain areas.....and WHERE are you located?
Oh it’s sorta like when you want to grow a beard, but thereÂ’s no Biblical basis for not being able to grow one, but the elders say NO simply because itÂ’s “cultural”. You mean like that?
