below is what was posted on witness world by polly pan.
i took euphemism's advice and others to protect my identity.
about a week ago it was brought to administrations attention that there may be apostates lurking on our board, as a precautionary measure we deleted 107 members who had never posted since they joined.
I think they have more problems with their fellow "brothers" than with sly foxes slipping in. "Righteous over much" individuals really are exasperating, and skillfully twist the scriptures to support their own agendas. Sometimes the internal conflict just isn't worth it.
I've been there, I know.

yes, i did it.. after the thread in which i asked how i could possibly tell my jw mum that i'm pagan....i decided to take the bull by the horns and tell her.. her reaction made me wonder if she reads this board.. firstly, to "ease" her in, i mentioned that i'm doing a course in reiki.
reiki is a complimentary therapy - basically hands on healing.
well, she said she knew a little about reiki and thought it was a good idea.
Wow, Sirona, it sounds like it went well. I know that a great burden has been lifted from you!

heh, i just noticed that witness world is back up for some reason, iono if i'm drunk or high or what, but when i went to the url it says login and registering is closed for a few days.
hrm.....
WW is going offline at the end of the week. It was noted in the closing announcment that someone posted.
this was posted on ww today.
do you think the apostate infiltration had anything to do with it?.
in the name of christian unity and peace, we regret to inform you that the management of ww has decided to close the ?park?
Not when thousands are still hurting from their child abuse coverups, & thousands continue to die due to their policy on blood.
Sorry Avishai, but Witness World and its subscribers hardly have anything to do with creating or enforcing policies in the congregations. In fact, it's comprised of mostly women, who need a creative outlet and something to do to feel a sense of accomplishment in themselves (they can't do anything like that in the congregation).
It's an online venue for like-minded people to connect with others in a mostly fluff-way. And btw, several of "them" have joined this site in recent months. They really are nice people trying to make the best of life. Just like you and me.
Just because you don't agree with where they're at (or need to be) at this point in their lives, why take it out on individuals who could some day come to new conclusions and find themselves here?
Peace to you,

we all agree that the internet will free thousands of good-hearted people from the clutches of the watchtower.. i think the more jw discussion boards there are, the more jw's will get on the internet initially to use the boards then hopefully they will branch out and maybe the god of google will view them favourably and help them in their eye-opening.. so i think its a bit sad that witness world has closed its doors.
i don't think its a good idea to infiltrate the jw sites if it means the administrators end up closing the site.. agree/disagree anyone???
at least be thankful you get the chance to post on a question which hasn't been asked by bloody minimus!!
Aren't Dub boards better left alone?
I think so. Having been a big part of them before coming here, I know that forced entry and sly tactics just reinforce the "apostate evil" mentality. I am also big on respecting other's private space. If a board is publicly accessible for reading, that's cool.
I believe that their curiosity lead them when they are ready.

after trying to build up my mom's blood count with "iron shots" and diet, and unsuccessfully still having it hover below "14", (which is unacceptable) her doctor discussed with a family member, that she is now considerably too high risk for any surgery.
of course, this is due to her faithful adherence to no whole blood.
so, she has hung on many years, waiting for armageddon to come and solve her health issues.

I echo the sentiments of the others. My thoughts are with you.

i've created this thread for all you active witnesses who still believe that you've found the "truth".
i've felt kinda sorry for all of you, so here's a thread for you to discuss field service, your bible studies, the good article you just read, and all that other crap most of us don't care about.

All kidding aside Nos... I think it was nice of you to open a thread so they could feel welcome
Yeah right, like they're going to feel welcome here...

At least some will get some peace... if not from their own brothers and sisters.
I think it's sad. Everyone has the right to have a place of their own without being harassed and ridiculed by others. I know a few here didn't appreciate being the subject of conversation on other boards. Why is it so hard to treat others the way you wish to be treated? Just because you don't agree with where they're at (or need to be) at this point in their lives, why take it out on individuals who could some day come to new conclusions and find themselves here?
We reveal more about ourselves by what we say about others.
Have a smug day,

i've been lurking here for a few months now, and i've been wanting to post for awhile now but i've never really been up to it.
i first stumbled upon the information about the wtbts being an ngo for 10 years in september, and ever since i've been finding out about all the other things the society has been up to.
as of now, i'm still going to the meetings, but now my eyes have been truly opened, and i can see things in a whole new perspective, and it's amazing the deception that's going on in the organization.
Hello there and Welcome!
