Mulan, you make an excellent point.... I also had a discussion with a brother who spoke about those who were posting scriptures on their websites. He basically told me the same thing that you were told. Additionally, he spoke about using the WTS CD for preparing talks!!! How insane!!! I used it to prepare my talks and as I practiced and refined it, it was easier to make changes than re-writing the entire talk out.
IMHO, the WTS was discouraging computer literacy in order to head off so-called apostates early on.
Humble... if you are sincerely reading the posts here, you will find that we "apostates" are actually quite pleasant to ANY who join this board. Amazingly, venom is automatically spewed from JW Loyalists as soon as they see the opinions that many here have of the WTS-keyword being WTS, not GOD.
Yes, there are those with atheistic views also, but they are entitled to free expression also. Freedom of expression is what makes it possible for J-dubs to go from door-to-door, is it not? It aso allows YOU to be here despite the WTS directives which say you should NOT be here.
Welcome, and enjoy the interchange of ideas and opinions.
Boozy
