My conclusion about this forum, no test needed:
It's a shameless excuse for "apostates" and "interested" JW's to learn more about one another and the dark underbelly of the WTS. I love it.

GASP! Apostates? here? lol.........seriously,not a trap. Unlike the WTS you're free to come and go at will here.
Lots of nice people here....exchanging ideas,free thought! What a concept! Stick around,you just might learn something.Oh btw,the word 'apostate' has no negative charge for most of us.....I wear the label proudly.Tina

Introspection
Tina makes a good point. Once you realize that it's mostly ex-JWs here, you're free to leave. If you choose to stay, it is no doubt because of your own curiosity. I doubt it takes a faithful JW that long to see what the bulk of the messages here are about, and frankly it's just not realistic to go through life not hearing anything negative about the witnesses.

You asked us if we were afraid of the Watchtower, in a previous post.

May I ask, what are you afraid of? My guess would be the real truth.

It is very dangerous to accept one and only one source in any search for truth, whether that truth you seek is scientific, social, philosophical, religious, etc. The WTB&TS seeks to limit your search to once source - them. When that happens, you can be sure that truth is the least of the concerns of those who would limit your search.
You are certainly welcome here. And I hope your mind will be open. You obviously are an intelligent person and I suspect you are able to separate the wheat from the chaff in the truth department.

Where it is a duty to worship the Sun you can be sure that a study of the laws of heat is a crime.
