When H2O and a few other boards were around, a few years back, they all became known for something unique. H2O was where you went to see some great debates and really learn how to disprove the "truth". Randy's site was one of the first places that gave snippets of all the local ex and JW gossip, for the week. Watchtower Observer put out every imaginable thing on JWs that you could think of! It's been one place where you can see everything from Watchtower oddities to Watchtower false prophecies detailed. The Mining Company started off by pleasantly talking about boring JW life until it became a different name that had many posters outrightly questioning whether there should be less meetings and more compassion shown to the brothers and sisters......And there are sites everywhere that have something unique about them. From what you can see and from what you have experienced here, what would you say JWD is and will be forever known for???

Mini, I thought you weren't going to do this anymore? Be that as it may-
- JWD will be remembered as a wonderful place bridging the old WTS with the new real world. Like a transit pass or something. Or maybe a transector, you know someplace to complain and be loved anyway. Someplace to gain knowlegde you may need. Someplace where new friends are able to contact one another. Someplace to argue and be safe from df'ing.

I'll second that, and more. I met some wonderful people and they had a very positive impact on my life.

Now you're making me paranoid. You weren't a regular poster on all of those other boards as well were you?

JWD has had a unique history, and is presently mutating. What?s happening, one hopes, is a passing phase in its evolution. I?ve read somewhere that the owners of the board have said JWD is becoming exactly what they?d hoped it would be. Many would remember JWD as a landing pad upon their exit from the WTS, a place where they met strangers, some of whom became friends for life, others who became foes. It?ll be remembered as a place where people learnt things by discussing with others who?d been in the hole before them (there?s lots of good material in the archives); others ?ll remember JWD as a place that replayed the politics of the WTS, but that politics is also played elsewhere, everywhere, in the real world. Some others will remember JWD as metaphor for power that corrupts, and absolute power that corrupts absolutely. My experience here has been based on recent history, but you ask about the future? who knows? Thoughtful thread, Minimus, there?s a certain way personal experience makes many of us (re)act. All theories are shades of grey, but life?s lessons of experience are green. You are not, I think.
