New and need a question answered before I post any other questions

okay, first off, let me get this straight...you guys are all witnesses, some all active, some do things all the way right, some don't do things all the way right?

some are by the book but not preachy, and some are witnesses that are rogue and do things their own way?

i just want to know before i post any doubts or concerns or anything because even though i know we're supposed to stay away from places like this on the internet, i don't want what i say somehow getting back to my congregation somehow and next thing you know 4 elders come busting through the door waving "no blood" cards and shouting "freeze, jehovah's witnesses!

Do you have a mental image of other posters on this site?

a lot of people here have posted their photo's, but i think the majority haven't... i sometimes wonder when reading posts on here, what person making those posts must look like, not that i want to see their photo, i just find it interesting... i recently got to see a photo of someone i have talked to on here since i first joined, and i had to say the person looked an awful lot like i had imagined, so i wondered if anyone else wonders about things like this?

is there a particular poster you have a mental image of?

care to share it and see if the person really looks like what you think they look like?

Does The GB Assign Someone To Make Believe They Are An XJW On This Forum?

i think from time to time we have posters here that may be assigned by the gb to speak xjw speak and try to discourage posters from attacking the organization, or to just give up our internet fight to expose them, to just give up our efforts and forget about the wt.

if they did this they would have to keep close tabs on whoever they assign because they know that there is a great possiblity they may turn on them.

or perhaps they would trust no one except themselves and so you might even have a member of the gb actually posting in disguise.

this is my first post and here's my story.. my father became a witness long ago and my mom remained a lutheran.

our attendance was sporadic due to mom's opposition.

they knew our mom was lutheran and that she kept us from attending many meetings.
