And only seven years later it's ready! This project is so late it's swung past comical, beyond farce and into folklore but on Christmas Day it goes live. Simon has kindly agreed to me resurrecting this old topic for context and to create a new one for ongoing discussion - I'll create that over the weekend and limit my promotion of the new site to that one topic.
In brief, the new site at www.apostat.es will provide a few free tools to help us reach out to the Jehovah's Witnesses we still care about. Podcasts can be hosted for free, as can blogs and articles. You can create your own store to sell your apostate tee shirts, posters calendars etc.
Importantly, I'd like to show JW's that apostates are normal, healthy folks who simply changed their minds about their former beliefs. We aren't 'mentally diseased' or under Satan's control. So build your own profile, your own groups, create your own meet-up events and show your family and friends who you really are and what they're missing.
I still passionately believe in the postcards and now have everything in place to supply you with postcards printed to your design from a penny a card. You are of course free to use any print service you like.
So why post this now when the site won't launch until Xmas. Well it's a nice, shiny place but rather bare so I'm asking for help from any content creators who'd like early access to the site in order to start adding articles, podcasts, postcards and other products.
If you visit the site now you'll see a 'Coming Soon' page with a few screenshots of the site and it's various features. You can get in touch with me there or here to request early access.
I don't know whether apostat.es will take off or not but I'm glad I finally got it sorted, thanks for taking the time to read this.
