We know the site is monitored because people have been disfellowshipped for posting here.
At the risk of being accused of siding with sillyboyfart; just because people are DFd for posting her doesn't necessarily prove that the WTS monitors this site on a continual basis. It could have been local elders who did the snooping and caught the "apostates" in action. If could have been found by individual JWs and reported back.
I agree that people will get in trouble and DFd for posting here but to me it seems a little suspect that the WTS does FBI like monitoring of this site. It's not like this is some organized, anti-JW movement set on destroying their empire. It just seems a waste of their resources to keep snooping around a site full of people who are just bitching and complaining about their former religion.
There may be absolute proof that they do but can't be shared with everyone for fear of exposing someone and that's fine but I think if they were seriously monitoring this site more of us would have been exposed and dealt with by now.
It's possible, maybe probable, but I haven't seen any evidence of it myself. But I'll take ya'lls word on it to the point of not exposing myself just in case they are.

It's a fact jack. When I was df'd, the elders handed me printouts from this site and others asking me if I went by the name such-and-such. Those printouts came via mail from Brooklyn in a large green and white envelope. When I briefly flipped through the pages, I noticed at the bottom of each one that they used Anonymizer. The URL was printed at the bottom of each page and included the Anonymizer obfuscated link.
What is Anonymizer? And how does it find out who a certain poster is? How come more of us aren't outed and DFd on a regular basis? Maybe certain elders and congregations are more zealous in shutting up dissenters, maybe some dissenters are just more outspoken attracting attention. Maybe the elders use Brooklyn to help track down the rebels. If it is a sinister plot against us how come more of us haven't gotten busted?
