I may be late, and it may have been posted before, but I just came across this site that seems to have many JWS posting and it's an eye opener for sure. I read many posts, and some posters are just a step away from being here.
Posts about the preaching work being over. Posts about the governing body being full of pride. Posts about the downfall of JWS coming from within. I'm still reading.....
One of the posts.....sad....
Hi, Everyone,
What a deep and painful subject. I don't think any of us want to be on the outside of the organization, but Christ wants us to worship in Truth, otherwise, we will never be set free. My husband, a former Catholic, had told me for years how much WTS resembles the Catholic church. I always felt insulted, but he had it right. But now, where do we go, what do we do? I never had a big family so the friends became my family. I love them dearly. So many of them have struggled to get the Truth (or to stay there.) Our son is an elder and our daughter converted to the Jewish faith. What a mess. If I tell my son how I feel, I'll probably be df''ed. I haven't spoken with my daughter for more than a year. If it sounds like I'm complaining It's just that nothing has prepared me for this day. Sorry to dump all this on you. There are probably many out there in my same shoes. We need to pray for each other so that we can stay strong. Love to everyone who feels like a lost sheep --Jesus knows where we are!
Yes. I had been to this site a few times while I was lurking on this one and still researching the Borg to get out. I didn't like the other site because it was too pro-Borg. I had done too much research to listen to anymore Dub terminology and logic.
I feel bad for this woman being trapped. I didn't find her exact posting, but I hope those guys didn't pounce all over her and make her feel guilty. She defininately needs to be here.
Yes has some very interesting comments and veiws on this site....many which I do agree with. Its good to see that so many are enquiring and thinking for themselves weighing up the evidence but still not allowing the scandal to effect their relationship with God. Good on them.
It has begun? End of WT?
I had a look there but its still very strict, the only leeway is slight different interpretations from the WT interpretations.
The registration rules are a real treat

If you dispute or intend to undermine our doctrinal understanding on the anointed, the 144,000, the heavenly and earthly hopes, the New Covenant and the Memorial [Argumentation over the doctrinal teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses will not be tolerated.];
If you believe that this Discussion Board is apostate.
Registrations require the following steps before they can be activated:
Proceed with registration by clicking the Register button below;
Wait for the system to send you a confirmation email. This email will include a link that MUST be clicked in order to verify that the email address you used during the registration process is valid and accepts emails from the site. We do NOT manually create/validate accounts.
After you have validated your email address via email, you MUST send an email to [email protected]:webmaster@e-watchman.com">webmaster@e-watchman.com stating your request for an account, your intention to participate on the board, and your agreement with the guidelines and terms as stated.
Failure to follow ANY of these steps will result in your registration request being deleted after 24 hours.
Do not register for an account if you are not going to participate in the discussions. New accounts that do not have posts associated with them are removed after 7 days. Accounts that lay dormant for 30 days or more may be deleted, at the discretion of the board owner or his assigned administrators. We are looking for participation, not membership numbers.
Again, you assume all responsibility for the reading of the terms and guidelines for this Discussion Board, and by registering you affirm acceptance of said terms and guidelines, and that you will be honest in all your activities on the Discussion Board.
Registering for an account to use this site's facilities is acknowledgment that you are aware of and agree to operate within the framework of this site's focus and purpose, and to continue to be aware of any future modifications or changes to that framework.This site is for those who adhere to the faith of Jehovah's Witnesses, including the personal conviction that Jehovah's Witnesses are Jehovah's modern-day people. While some views expressed will differ from those published by the Watchtower Society when it comes to prophetic issues, doctrinal deviation will not be allowed.
Personally, to me it seems like an apostate site designed to trick witnesses into joining. Once there, there are apostate articles that are "debunked" albeit rather poorly but still expose active witnesses to controversy.
The administrators seem to be allowed to post apostate articles, but crack down hard on anyone else doing the same, I feel to show that they are "loyal witnesses".
Either way, there are a total of 54 accounts so there are very few that actually are part of that community.
Seems to have a split personality. Scully highlighted the "rules" but they also say this on the home page..Seems they dont know whether they are , or are not still in . I wonder how they cope with a study of the Rev. book?
The Watchtower doctrines related to 1914 and particularly the doctrinal change published in the November 1st, 1995, issue of the Watchtower magazine, concerning the generation that would pass away before the war of Armageddon,have caused some of Jehovah's Witnesses to begin to seriously question the Watchtower's interpretations. The highly publicized scandals surrounding child abuse and the Silentlambs organization composed of sexually abused Jehovah's Witnesses, has confronted Jehovah's Witnesses with the sort of hypocrisy that we thought only existed in the churches of Christendom. Not only that, but the Watchtower's scandalous10-year affiliation with the United Nations as an NGO has also surfaced in recent years.
The links and the Podcast connected with this site indicate bizarre maverick JW apostacy!
I wouldn't be surprised if this site gets shut down pretty quickly.
These people are nuts. I just joined the forum, by the way.

The podcast person seems to say the Watchtower was "at one time" a channel of communication, but, lost it. Seemingly, he has taken up the mantle for himself.
