Ahh, I just checked out and beliefnet and found the debate board you mentioned, RedhorseWoman - I see you are a host! :) That's awesome. I'm going to go explore it a little. Thanks for mentioning it here.

i am a lurker on the "witness world" witnesses-only website.
they are having a discussion because someone during door-to-door service confronted them with the un letter.
they are all saying that it is "obviously made up"... but the person is planning on writing to the society to ask.

That's really interesting, Redhorse... I haven't been around too long (online in the Witness/ex-Witness world) - did there used to be more true Witness message board sites? I only know of 2 or 3 now. But I've heard a lot refered to in the past tense.
I wonder how long they will continue... or if the Society will eventually shut them down.

I believed him at first! But he did his "research" wayyyy too fast.
It would be ironic, though.
i was just wondering who on this board is married or a couple.
my second question is, what is everybodys first name.. .
just trying to get familiar with you guys
I am married. :) I'm a wordly girl who married a JW who is now inactive. Not because of me, though, although many people think that.
I think the married-single question is a good one! But I'm not ready to put my name. :)

Well, that could be another reason I got the boot. I copied and pasted here. Man, I am learning LOTS of things I wish I knew 24 hours ago!

If the real brucejw is reading this.... can you tell us who you are? I'm curious.

I don't think I'm going to close it at this point... If I get kicked off WW, it really doesn't affect me at all. It was just a hobby, like visiting any other website. The thoughts people have posted here are value and I think the experience is good for other people to read. Besides, they would probably WANT this post to come down! :) hee hee. But thanks for telling me how. I will keep that in mind.
Coca-Cola -- Someone heard that the Society had stock in Coca-Cola, but someone said that was actually the Mormons, or something to that affect. Who knows. No one mentioned stock in Rand - where was bruce then? :)
I really appreciate everyone's help and thoughts on this. You guys are the best!!!
I love this place.

This is actually making me sick. Like, physically sick. I feel like I got caught with my pants down. I know that's dumb, but I feel guilty now. Geez. Dumb me. I didn't even guess that they would come here - and HOW is that acceptable? Why is it okay for them to lurk here, but not okay for other dubs to? Doesn't that expose them to apostasy? grrr.

ooooooooops.
in another thread, somebodylovesme wrote: damn it.
i got kicked off.
i messaged the mod and asked why brucejw had been kicked off.
Excellent post. I wish I had known about the tracking stuff before I registered at WW. Granted, I only lurked (made a couple replies on completely non-religious topics), but I may have made the error of visiting a "bad" site before or after going to that site.
... No, not porn. This board, probably at some point. I usually had them in separate browsers, but not always, now that I think about it.
Anyway, thanks for the words of wisdom. And I agree - starting controversial topics will reinforce their fear of outsiders.
Take care,
