i ask this question for good reason.
let's face it, despite all the books, videos, forums, court cases, hearings, protests etc that have been exposing the society for many years.
jw.org continues to roll on almost 'it seems' unscathed.. for example, just walk into any kingdom hall there is not so much as a whisper about anything that has been exposed outside of jw land.
Where are the "Russian hackers" when we need them?

"Information Control"
One of the most powerful signs of a high-control cult.
melbourne international convention australia, thousands of watchtower robots and i happened to get in an elevator with viv mouritz one of the main men at bethel.
he had a young pretty sister who was escorting him around.
i stood behind them and rocognized him instantly.
Hey witness 007, I remember that awful 2014 international convention! We were messaging each other via this forum from the stands!
That was in my early days of awakening...
It was one of those WTF conventions indeed!
episode 3 is now out and available on itunes or whatever you use, as well as my site, linked below.
this one is heavier and about life at home growing up as a jw.
i even had an epiphany while recording it, which you'll hear as you listen.
Cheers buddy!
how did they ever get away with that and how does it go down now, in today's society?.
its fucking mental.
.
Yes, it is one of the most ludicrous things ever...
How does a woman simply putting a napkin on her head prove "submission"?
And why does she even need to be "submissive"? Really, why?
OH! Because she doesn't have a penis...of course...makes perfect sense now....
absolutely thrilled to give you the news that my younger brother, a zealous full-time pioneer has left the witnesses!!.
i haven't seen or spoke to him in a year.
i'd lost all contact with him, no facebook, no mobile number, i didn't even know his address because he'd moved house.
Wow...just wow....
just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.
there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.
i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.
Wow!
The reasoning behind our forum names is great!
Love it.
i posted this thread sometime last year but thought i would revive it due to the new ones on the board, and to change things up a bit.
my favorite?
bro murikami, from hawaii, very humble, kind bro.
Best?
Joe Slaiman (Travelling Overseer from Australia and New Zealand.)
Why?
Because he woke up too!

how many times did we hear the worn out expression "that anyone who accepts the "truth" needs to have the 3 h's".
yes, they must be "honest hearted.
hungry for truth, and humble enough to accept that they need to change".
GREAT replies!!
