Does anyone know if JWTalk is a real Jehovah Witness forum?
Are the owner Bob & an admin Jerry in good standing in their congregations? Or just apostates posing as JW's?

Does anyone know if JWTalk is a real Jehovah Witness forum?

To my knowledge and experience, yes it is a true blue pro witness community.
The administrators are like bloodhounds. If for any reason they peg you as an apostate, bam you a banned.
As to whether they are in good standing, I don't really know. One thing for sure, the governing body doesn't approve of these forums, so they are bucking the trend and breaking their own rules by overstepping theocratic order.
Bob used to have an Instagram account and he showed pics of himself with friends after service and going to assemblies and so on. I didnt realize he was the owner though..I thought he was one of the Mods.
The impression I got was that he was one of that "new breed" that are very social about their JWism but still smoozy enough that they never set off the powers that be.
JW Talk is a great resource for inside info... but you have to be careful what you say or you'll be banned. Watchtower can't be happy though about the leaks that end up being grabbed out of there. I wonder how the elders allow them to stay in good standing while revealing links and info to an inner small circle of us.
A few of us on this forum also have accounts over there. One of us is in the inner circle ;-)
I know it's cringeworthy but if he has a huge following then this will feed the apathy and make it all the more mainstream. It's got to erode the GB's control even if only at the edges.
How big is his forum? Oooh ... err ... perhaps size does matter!
What do you know about the other guy, you sleuths??
