    Since the jws main mission in their miserable lives is to 'preach the good news of the kingdom', Why is is that there is really no means to interact with the WTS website?

    Certainly, many pioneers could be engaged in the activity of answering the many enquiries that would be directed through such an 'official' discussion board, and it would definitely be a means for the pioneers of accumulating many precious hours of witnessing to those 'hungering for the truth'.

    Surely the society couldn't believe that such a site would be inundated with doubting and disgruntled individuals with an 'axe to grind' with them. I am sure that there would be many members here who would have many sincere enquiries to make with the society, without wanting to disrupt, or harass. Yeah.

    I visited the official site, and the only way to contact them, is for an enquirer to enter their personal details, and some unknown person would be sent to visit them. Seems a bit lopsided and unfair (should I be surprised?) to me.

    Imagine. It must a dread for any at bethel whose duty it is to answer the telephone enquiries, picture the nightmare it would be for the poor pricks who were assigned to answer enquiries via a discussion board. A true test of faith.

    Well i suppose the WT is caught in a bit of a bind, Cheezes. They know that the Internet is a great means of outreach, so they cant very well NOT be on the net because theyd look nutty and extremist just like the Exclusive Brethren who yearn for the days of the horse and cart and candlepower. But neither do the dubs want free discussion or for that matter any kind of intenet discussion because theyre terrified of people actually talking to each other online and, God forbid, exchanging THOUGHTS without the WT being able to control the exchange.

    So as a compromise they hang up the sterile, braindead website that they, in fact, have.

    Yes, no discussion board. Why? Simple : discussions are not allowed. They have The Truth(tm) the only Truth(tm) and nothing but The Truth(tm). Didn't you know that? ;o)

    They also lack an email-adress! A website without an e-mail adress is too silly for words!

    Funny thing is that this actually works against them on many fronts, consider this:

    * Usually e-mail is relative anonymous, fast and easy. Who in his right mind gives an anonymous organisation his personal details? So that they can send someone to your house? Riiiiight. That gets way to personal for people who's only purpose is some information.

    * The information that is on the website is not updated regularly, resulting in lots of embarrassing old light which can be used to confront them.

    * The information on the site is pretty dumbed down, giving the org a silly outlook.

    Not a good witness so to speak eh?

    Ps the do have an e-mail adress ofcourse, they just don't list it. It is [email protected] when I tried to e-mail them I got a reply stating "please do not send e-mails but apply for a visit blah blah blah"

    Because, deep down, they know their worldview and doctrine is intellectually indefensible, and theire actions vulnerable to exposure, so they refuse to subject it to open discourse and debate in a public forum of any kind. In their efforts to attract new converts, the public's ignorance of their history and shortcomings is their principal ally.

    'official' discussion board

    A discussion is a two way street. This is why a discussion board is impossible for them because the "faithfull slave" does not discuss anything, no matter how reasonable it is. Their way is the way.

    Well you here know all about it.

    hahaha

    Because JWs offer free home bible studies, where one can get her questions answered personally using her own bible. How can you beat an offer like that?

    Why would they, when they get all the information / feedback they need, right here, without the hassle.
