I’m just curious what you think. This is in its draft stages. So excuse the mistakes and grammar. Just wanting feed back.
Dear Brothers
I am writing to you, out of the shear frustration and concern I have with some of your procedures and policies. If you read this in its entirety. Its more therapy for me rather than a solution to the problem.
This is concerning computer use with my aged father. Previously, in years past, you took a very negative approach to the internet. I remember been, publicly embarrassed, when I took a computer printout for a #2 Bible reading, and sternly counselled not to do it. I just find it rather ironic how things have changed.
Although you still have the printed option available. It is due to the CCJW culture that you have now got an elderly man, on a limited income, who felt obligated to go out and buy himself a devise. That he has neither the aptitude or desire to use.
Let me explain. Although I’m 4th generation faded POMO. According to your SOPs my father should not even be talking to me about spiritual matters, if talking to me at all. Yet I find it ironic that when it comes to trouble shooting for the JW.org website there is no problem. Why? Because his friends, the brothers and sisters, are becoming somewhat apathetic to helping him. To be honest I can’t really blame them due to his computer illiteracy. There was one young, JW, fellow who offered to help, but hinted at been paid.
The other day I get a phone call at work regarding an issue with his printer. He had called a computer technician to fix it. Weighing the options of him been put into overdraft paying the technician, or me taking time off work to trouble shoot over the phone. I decided for the latter. Using the method of theocratic warfare, to get the time off. I managed to get the problem resolved.
What really annoys me about this. Is how your new light has effected both my father, employer and myself. Years ago when social media and the internet were looked down upon this wouldn’t of been a problem. As soon as you realised that a great deal of money could be saved with on line content, it’s now a case of been spiritually strong. Unfortunately for most of your members, who are around my fathers age, they are now left with a devise that they really have neither the desire or aptitude to use. This highlights a bigger problem, with the JW culture, in the impact you have on people lives. Putting it mildly, i feel totally pissed off.
