It fits so badly that zing had to selectively reference what Arthur said, although selectively referencing facts is a JW tactic so we shouldn't be that suprised I suppose.
I knew a JW who was excumunicated for a year becuase she was seduced at the age of 15 by the 17 year old son of one of the Elders. She felt so guilty for having premarital sex she broke down and confessed to her mum (who became a JW because when her daugher was a few months old, left her on the kitchen worktop which she fell off, and felt she needed to spend the rest of her life thanking god for her daughter not dying). Meanwhile, when it all came out the Elder moved his family to France and continued being an Elder there.

to be disfelowshiped ( we dont excomunicate ) she would have had to be baptized ( not in favor of that myself at that age anyway ) which meant she had decided to follow the rules now if she was forced into sex she really should have reported it to the police we would not stop her doing so if not then there could be several reasons including the one you are intimating as i will never claim that human falibility especialy when dealing with ones kids could have resulted in one seeming to be punished while the other did not seem to be
during that year the only things she would not have been allowed to do is take part in preaching or take part at the kingdom hall and the only things that her friends would be not allowed to do is talk about our religion with her
if they did differently it would be either because of personal feelings or what their parents individual views were about her be they right or wrong
we don't go around policing every one !
