I believe (and respect) most of the people's feelings.
I think that how we interpet things could be different from how things really are... and I think that I believe a person when they say they felt a certain way.
Do YOU Believe Everything That Posters Say Here?

Not 100%, since people can have inaccurate sources or be exaggerating. However, the things posted here are generally far superior to what you see in the Kingdumb Hells.
And I don't expect everything to be perfectly accurate. Much is speculation. Some is exaggerated response to something that is posted from another thread. But, even when things don't work out that way, the intent was to tell people where they think things are or could be headed. Banning entertainment (see www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/115757/1.ashx for the thread) was something that Ted Jaracz wanted to do, but they often forget what they just said and come out with something that does not integrate with that ban only a few months later. Then later they will come out with an official ban.
And the coffee ban that is mentioned in another thread is another could-be. Right now, they said it was a conscience matter. They could simply put out another article a few months later to bury it. Or, they could start getting stronger bans and houndings. And things happen in no particular sequence: they might put out a pro-coffee article between the making it a "houndable offense" and finally making it a judicial offense. You just never know what they are going to ultimately do with that issue until it happens.
So often, things like this throw off the accuracy of what's posted. I don't think anyone comes here with the malicious intent of lying about what the Tower has, or is planning on, doing. It is more intended to predict what is next, and often people get a little carried away. Not that this is bad, since occasionally the Tower does something that is even worse than those who "got carried away" had predicted. And it makes for good debate material when people think one thing is going to happen, post it, and fifty people think something else is happening or going to happen. And, in the end, I do believe they are going to ban all outside knowledge and thinking if they get the chance. Hopefully, by posting these things, we will make sure they don't get that chance.

theres a lot here i don't believe mostly from newbies that only post a few times. i know i tell lots of stories about how i rake jw over the coals. and some of it sounds unbelievable. it's all true , but I was on the poster from here "sick of lies" tapes and not half of what "sick of lies" taped from his j.c. with me on it was even posted here or on "freeminds'. the reason is because i smoked his elders so bad it would not be political correct for this forum. but if anyone listens to the tapes. you will see how i blasted "sick of lies " hard nose elders in 15 minutes. over 3 calles . i'm the WTS EXPOSER... and any here that think i talk crap only need to p.m. me to call their local elders, family, jw';s etc. till then I rest my case. if anyone here calles me a lair they got another thing coming.

Truthful or honest? I would say the trolls who post here are truthful but they aren't honest or else they wouldn't have to disguise their posts somewhat before they are found out.

And no, I don't want to be a baby again--well maybe if I could be born in the '80's or '90's. I want to see what the future looks like beyond the 40-45 years I have left.
