    password protected adult forum is a good idea. sometimes this forum acts like my neighborhood bar and i like to let my hair down here and talk about things that others may see as crass and over the top. i've been here a long time and feel comfortable with most folks here so i tend to act like myself. i like talking about sex, i like flirting but i also enjoy many of the serious threads too. this board for me has the perfect mix of serious and fun/fluff. but i do understand that others may not be so comfortable with some of the topics here. but that is the beauty of the net, you get a bunch of people together from all age ranges and of course some are not so open about personal things while others are. that's why i think password protected adult forum is a good idea.

    Man,
    I've been away for a few.
    Has someone been too naughty?
    Sounds like I missed some action once again.

    Simon,
    I guess it must seem like you are babysitting here sometimes.
    I also am not perfect and have made some off color remarks here and there. I honestly try not to go overboard.

    I dont think its that we should care what the society thinks of this website but its kind of like, what you say can be used against you, if you know what I mean. Its like, I can just hear the governing body, "See, I told you those apostates are just sex crazed, worldly people who cant be trusted and have nothing important to say".
    Grrr, They just get me soo mad...
    Simons right. I'll behave.
    Well O.K. I will at least try to be a little less naughty anyway.

    Simon,

    I'm really worried about this 9 inches thing. Listen, matey, I have to tell you that I'm not cutting mine in half for nobody.

    Am I reading this right? We have to wrap the forum in cotton wool and not say or do anything that might upset any 'dubs that might view our posts. We can't talk like normal people, most of whom swear a bit, or mention sex, or anything else they might upset the 'dubs.

    Well fuck me!

    Those bastards fucked up my whole life. And I'm only just beginning to experience what a normal life is. And this is one of the few places where I can actually hang out with some people that really understand how shitty my life actually is and can offer support.

    And yet the Borg is still controlling us!

    I didn't come here to save other 'dubs, I came here to try to save myself and along the way support any other X JW's that are experiencing similar things. Reading these posts has brought up a lot of shit that I had buried over the last few years rather than dealing with it properly, so the last few months has been somewhat emotionally difficult for me.

    I always really hated the way they controlled my life, telling me what I was & wasn't allowed to think, feel, do, say, etc. And even after having left they still hang the fear of DF'ing over me, cutting me off from my loved family members (the ones that still talk to me).

    Why should we be worried at all about what the 'dubs think? Any that come here are breaking the Borg rules anyway. So they're going to hear some swear words and discussions about sex and a host of other stuff that the Borg says if "forbidden"...SO WHAT!

    They will discover that the cotton wool "paradise" they live in is a farce, that the real world is a lot harsher than they thought. Well if they can't handle that then they should stay in 'dubland, believing their delusions of living in a paradise.

    I just want to live my own life without the controlling influence of the FUCKING WATCHTOWER SOCIETY.

    Well,it is Simons board and I guess we're all 'invited' to hang around (and could technically,be deleted at any given moment...!!)I'd hate to see it go under because of all the sex threads...plus, my daughter came for a look around two days ago and I don't know what she read before I caught her...I hope it was'nt one of the last few days' OTT ones-she's 15 but not ready for some of these;and that she dos'nt think i'm hanging out on a porno site...perhaps we could think about the kids and teenagers who need answers too...

    Makin,
    "Those bastards fucked up my whole life"

    Those same bastards killed my grandfather by convincing him not to accept a blood transfusion. They also would not let my mother remarry without disfellowshipping her. They wouldnt allow her to be "scriptually free" since my father split, they couldnt find him for years to prove adultry. Not to mention for years they made me believe that I was going to watch my worldly husband and children be tortured and killed in armageddon. I would do just about anything for others not to have to experience what my family has. I do think most reasonable people know how to sift through the fun fluff and find topics that they may urgently need info on like blood and slient lambs etc. The thing is, so many that are still totally brainwashed by the org. are not very reasonable at that point. I love the fact that Simon and others like him are exposing the society for what it really is. I dont think Simon is telling everyone to be prudish. I have read many of his posts and hes just as normal, if not a bit more naughty than some of us. I think we all know what he means by toning it down a bit etc. What he allows to be posted on this forum reflects on himself not just to the W.T.S but to everyone including his own family and others who may be important to him. However he can resolve the situation, a password adult forum etc. but we dont want create more work for him either.
    Anyway, thats my understanding of what he means but Im gonna quit now before someone calls me an as*kisser or something.

    I am just asking that people show a bit of maturity in what they post. While I understand many are angry at the WT, me included, putting people off coming here does not help. Yes, you may not have a problem with language like that but some do and in fact I don't find it very pleasant to read it all the time.

    What does swearing actually prove? If used occasionally then yes, it can be very powerful but when used all the time it just becomes boring and rather sad.

    It isn't a case of the borg or anyone else controlling you. It is a polite request and you are perfectly free to follow it or not just as I am free to delete posts that I find offensive.

    Dearest Simon,

    I agree with Naeblis and the others that suggest a way to:

    1.) Opt-in to the Adult section.
    2.) Not have the Adult threads pop up in the Active List
    3.) Password protect the Adult section.

    However, you have to realized that nowhere else on the net will there be people with our backgrounds that can share and socialize about sex and the issues that we exJW's have with it. I've been to other chat rooms and boards, forums, newgroups, etc. and I've only found people that I can truly relate to sexually here.

    I'm a huge believer in technological solutions and I believe with your good graces that we can have a technial solution for this.

    Please? I'll be your best friend!
