I know for sure some of them snoop. Some years back the elders wanted to talk to me but didn't tell say what about. We met one night at a coffee shop that had wireless internet access and they pulled up about 20 different myspace pages from kids in our hall as well as others. needless to say there were some pretty incriminating evidence on a number of teenagers. Girls had provacative pics of themselves and there was a lot of bad language used.

While looking through one page there was a picture of some friends and me rockin' out in our punk/metal band at graduation party we played. All I could think was "Oh Crap!". But they didn't seemed to be to bothered. One of those elders was a punk enthusiaist himself. At the hall they put all the teens in the front rows and gave a local needs talk about myspace and told parents to interrogate thier children to find out.

The reason why they involved me was because some of the individuals who had pages were coming out in my wedding. In the end half of the wedding party was not allowed to participate in the ceremony including my brother and sister in law (Friggin' Bastards).

I'm sure there could be a lot of incriminating "evidence" for the elders via computers.

Why not encourage these kids to "google" the elders and see what incriminating evidence they can get on them, such as lawsuits, unpaid bills, etc.?

For $$$ you can go on sites that will tell you every detail about them including if they've ever had a record. Now that could be veryyyyyyyy interestinggg.

OF COURSE they snoop!! Snoop, pry, spy, probe, scrutinize, dig into, cross personal boundaries, commit espionage against and delve deeply into the lives of their fellow JWs - it's Theocratic Warfare, after all!! To Arms!

Personally, I think it's because most of them don't have real lives... But very destructive to those still inside and even more so to those slowly working their way out.

Wish there was a magic pill one could slip into someone's coffee or soft drink that would instantly awaken them from the cult-induced sleep. One sociological study done in England stated that the single most significant factor that caused JWs to exit the religion was INDEPENDENT bible study.

Be sure to encourage all your JW friends and relatives to read the bible completely through, every year, like the WTBTS used to say!! (Do they still say that? Better still, in that case! The WTBTS says "Read yer bible!") Zid

THE Organization is TRAINED to snoop on one another.

I used to work with a young elder (now presiding overseer grand-senior-coordinator-of-the-body-of-elders) who would snoop on Yahoo! personals allegedly looking for JW's. I can remember how excited he was when he found the personal ad of sister in a neighboring hall, mentioning he would have to mention this to her elder body.

Later when I began to be suspected of apostasy he began Internet snooping on me, printing off page-after-page of my personal blog for evidence and to bring a JC investigation against me.

Know of another elder in Southern Illinois Congregation who boasted about going to the home of suspected homosexuals and demanding to comb through their personal computer looking for evidence. As I remember it, one young man relented and they found gay pornography on his hard drive and DF'd him, the other youth wouldn't allow them to look, he too was df'd.
