    And if the Internet is a paradise for liars, why would anyone admit to being short, fat and frizzy-haired?

    BTW, I am tall, trim and smooth of hair.........

    On this site I feel very enlightened about the cult of JW and feel I know way more than I used to about the biblical stuff since I also spent time looking stuff up . I don't regret it at all . Sure you get some jerks that like to attack but basically enjoyed the time spent here.

    So the Watchtower quotes an article painting the Internet as a paradise for liars, racists, busybodies, and the prejudiced? That some people fake who they are?

    I find it funny that the source for this revelation is an online article.

    One question folks - who are the busybodies?

    How is Brother Depressed doing? Not well, I don't think he'll make it through the tribulation!

    How is Sister Glamour doing? Too busy with her fugure to temporary pioneer. She even goes to a tanning salon. What kind of man is her elder husband?

    This is all about mind control by the wtbs. If I had of found this site 20 years ago thing ago i would have left the society ine day later.

    I love thier academic or is it aneamic research? When I did a my degree all qoutes had to be attributable and correctly cited, if this was not done you were marked dowm. It also helped when doing research to be albe to follow up the citations in context and in depth. Once again they - unintentionally betray the rationale of thier attack on the internet

    Btw if I felt bullied here I would move on, end of. It does not help me here that I am 6ft 4in and 220lb one bit, therefore less not more bullying

    A poster sent this to me.

    "paradise for liars"
    Since they put that in quotes, it should be a direct quote from that web site.

    "o paraĆ­so para mentirosos" yields no search results for that web site.

    What a shock!

    From what I read lately, South America, particularly Brazil, has shown the largest increase in growth for Wbts. I think that information is specifically targeted to that audience.

    And here, I don't think any of us cares what anyone else looks like. We are all too busy trying to stop the bleeding and bandage the wounds for ourselves and each other. We don't even consider our own broken leg when we instinctively reach out to lift someone else whose been crushed in this wreckage . Aren't there times when you have read so much here, you feel so emotionally drained that you know just how Jesus felt carrying the weight of a heavy wooden cross? Ours is emotional, but its just as heavy. We hurt for one another and its wonderful when we can find something to really make us laugh once in a while. It helps to balance out the pain.

    liars indeed.

    This IS our daily life. Or at least a big part of it. I carry all of you around in my head all the time.
