Just strikes me that with all the 'active' dubs, still giving talks, attending assemblies; they must be looking at everyone with total suspision!

I know before I left in 2005, I was regarded with the utmost suspicion.

It's to the point that many in the Borg view those that use it with the highest suspicion. It can't be known that you use the internet without being questioned as to if you're looking at porn or apostate material.

This is just my opinion, but I think the crackdown on networking sites is just a precursor to something bigger to come along. I think they will demonize it so much that many JWs will just about be afraid to use the internet without being afraid of either demons somehow being linked to internet usage, or being looked down on by the congregation for using it for other than business purposes.

Yes i'm serious about the demon thing.

They fear ALL sources of information. That is why they are speaking about how you can not trust the media. It is effective with hard-core JWs. Just last Sunday, a pioneer/elder's wife sister in our congregation commented that you can not trust the media.

It will be very effective. When the Society is done, "good" JWs will not believe anything from any source other than the WTBTS.

If they hammer the issue to much many of the dubs will start to become curious and "wander into these sites"

After that.........."They shall know the truth and the truth shall ...........MAKE THEM MAD!

The morg is afraid of it too. Too many bones coming out of the closet into the glorious light of day. I say, let's bleach them bones and send our cults to hell!!

The morg is afraid of it too.

The morg! I love it.

I hope you choose to stick around here FormerMormon, you're the kind of diversity this board needs.

Utterly, totally and completely scared. Why wouldn't they be? Anyone who has to avoid ANY semblance of disagreement with their chosen beliefs has a weak faith indeed.

That is one area I never understood. Even as a JW kid I wondered why we were steered so clear of conflicting information. It seemed to me that "we" knew the "truth" (at least that is what all of our elders were saying..... not just "elders," but parents and everyone else involved). Well, if we know the truth, what harm is there is looking at the beliefs and such of others? Not just that crap that is posted on the back pages of Awake, that is entirely dismissive of any other thought.

I remember well reading those little Awake snippets about other religions and came to find out that the WT society's understanding of other religions, particularly eastern religions, was utterly incomplete and usually utterly wrong! Believe it or not, this is one of the very things that started to drive a wedge between me and WT. This began happening very early on. When you would read a little Awake diatribe about Shintoism, for example, and presenting itself as being a cliff-notes version of the "entire" belief system of said religion, well....... it sure brought questions to my young mind. Like, "How could people actually believe this stuff?" "It sound so silly, how is this possible?"

Soooooooo...... as I got a bit older and my vocabulary (and ability to read) began to flourish, I started to read the actual books that represented these religions. Boy was "I" in for a shock. Not a single time did AWAKE present another religion fairly or accurately. Not once!

To say that impacted my young self would be an understatement in the extreme...... they LIED to me! They wrote this crap in OUR magazine and presented it as fact/truth....... and it was all LIES! No folks, Hindus DO NOT worship cattle! There is a very specific reason why they treat cattle with some deference. Hint: Think...... Krishna was a cowherd boy, no? Same thing applies to Cobras. What was it that rose up and protected Krishna in his cradle? Yup....... it isn't worship, it is extreme respect. Even a cursory reading of the Mahabharata would make that utterly clear. COnsidering that Hindus have more written material describing their religion that just about everyone else put together, how on earth can anyone thing they could describe the entire religion in a single, short paragraph?

Well, I can tell you the answer to that, too...... Hide from the congregations the fact that there are such books and that the oldest known writing is in ancient Sanskrit (apparently) ....... and heck of a lot older than the "young earthers" would have you believe the age of the earth. But I'll end my diatribe here......

JW's.... ALL OF THEM..... have the weakest possible faith..... and for good reason...... their faith is in a shadow of a religion..... it is a CULT!
