Welcome to the board coaster!!!
Yes I am mad, and feel very, very deceived, but unfortunately very alone. Has anyone even noticed this, and are there any posts about it
Yep, many of us have gone through the same things. It can be hard trying to make sense of it all, but you'll get through it.
As per your request for specific posts on those subjects, I'm sure somebody who keeps better track of those things will be able to point you in the right direction.
As for the reliability of the information on this board, I'll give you a story about when I first came on. I had been browsing this message board for some time and stumbled upon a post talking about what was being taught at the latest 'Elders School'. Not knowing if I could trust the info or not I read it through but remained skeptical. It was a few weeks later I overheard an Elder talking about many of the things that where told to them at the school and wouldn't you know it was all of the stuff I read on the board weeks earlier!
There have been a number of false alarms and bad info that have flowed through this board, but usually you can spot it pretty quickly. More than any other place on the net I have to say this group is up to date and well informed on all things JW.
Hope you plan on sticking around!
