JWTALK - They never asked them to take it down? Do they allow it?

  I recently came across JWTalk and realized it is a huge place that very "prominent" JW post and talk on.

  The WT never contacted them and asked them to take it down because it wasn't "official"?

  I thought people were only supposed to go to JW.org for religious matters?

  Does anyone have any information on if/why this website is allowed to be up and have so many higher up JW posting on it without the WT contacting or writing in publications on how we shouldn't be on websites such as that?

  Good question. I'd like to know, too.

  The latest publications I've seen (such as "Our Kingdom Ministry" issues and videos on JW Broadcasting), are now saying that JW's can use the Internet to associate with one another, as long as they watch out for apostasy and don't become addicted, or start Bible studies with people in foreign nations. Very different instructions from the past.

  FusionTheism, if so, those instructions are different from the past. Can you (or anybody else) provide some references?

  As in elders, MS etc... It's not your average Joe publisher only on there.

  Magnum,

  Here are a couple: (There are more examples, I think, in the JW Broadcasting monthly episodes, but I don't remember which months)
