    So......why don't YOU start a thread on an interesting topic? What's holding you back? If you want something done to your specifications, do it yourself, my Mama always told me.

    A little bit of fluff doesn't hurt. It keeps the board moving and therefore keeps people here who are also willing to participate in serious topics and help newbies.

    In all seriousness, the deeper subjects have been covered many times before, so the regulars have moved on to other subjects.

    Blame it on the Jan 15 WatchTower. All of a sudden we lost our regular JW posters.

    The lurkers are still out there though and occasionally one of them (like AirDust, I suspect) can't help themselves but come back in.

    Where is PMJ when we need him? A lot of other regular so-called postates have gone quiet too.

    But they are still reading every word.

    Well, start something. I am not personally all that interested in Rex's threads, or Truth_about_the_truth's, for example. But how many people here will have much to discuss regarding topics I'm interested in other than JamesThomas, LittleToe, Brigid, or a few others? Most of us could really only compare notes anyway.

    So start a topic that you are interested in then.

    Is it OUR responsibility to feed you heavy topics to discuss? Seriously, you are as much a part of this board as anyone, which means you can bring to the table whatever you want. None of us should look to others to spoon feed us. We're independent now. We don't have to look to Mother to handle things.

    You might consider going back to some of the older topics if you're so inclined. JanH, Ken, Farkel, Amazing, Maximus - they were all heavy hitters when I started here...counting...5 years ago. You might look them up and read some of their posts and see if anything is worth resurrecting. There are enough new people here that we could get new conversations started.

    I'm always looking through old threads. Only the other day I read one started by Leolaia - "One of the defining doctrines of the WTS is the "two hopes" teaching concerning the 144,000 and the "great crowd". I join in when I feel like debating, offering support or having a laugh. Getting on board with "Active Topics" is touch and go. It's a bit like live TV - sometimes there's not much on and sometimes I can't drag myself away; but with all the old threads it's like having a huge DVD collection to fall back on.
