I have only been here a couple of weeks, and while I find most of you to be kindhearted, understanding and supportive, I can't help but get the feeling that there are some of us who are not who they say they are. I'm not trying to be presumptuous, but do you think some people pretend to be x-witnesses just to mess with us?
Imposters??

Probably. I guess you learn to take everything you see on internet message boards with a pinch of salt, not strictly this one, there's plenty of people online pretending to be someone they're not. That's why so many people like it so much...

Seriously, yeah, it's inevitable. Some people probably pretend to be JW's, and some JW's prolly pretend to be ex's.
There's even a group in Brooklyn that pretend to be God's representatives on earth, but 99.9% of the earth thinks their nuts.

I would think it would be automatic. What better way to combat apostates than to pose as one, gain trust, and have a person reveal enough detail to make their identity known? I am sure the Society would refer to it as spiritual warfare.

Although it would be difficult to masquerade as a [ex]JW here, it is quite feasible that someone could piece together enough information to fake being one.

I'm an ex dub. No doubt about that, but I still intentionally misrepresent myself as an old, cranky fat guy so the wimminz will leave me alone.
