What's So Special About JWD?

what is it that makes this place what it is??

why do old timers still post here?

why do lurkers become active posters?

Yes Minimus it is a very effective board for that purpose. Their are other boards to set up that are very beneficial and range in a variety of formats and feeling. Some are very relaxed and allow ex-JW's to chat with one another as friends, this is excellent to thoese who have moved on from the initial steps of exiting the Watchtower. I really enjoy both elements. I like helping people and getting the latest and sometimes I like to just kick back and talk with friends. Depending on which depends on which board I visit.

I know where your going with this and I agree that we should all be a little more tolerant of one another. Why do we all need to be divided over the matter of how a discussion board is governed. We are all essentially on the same side and hoping to see the same outcome. I have been on this board for a number of years now since I began lurking during my last years of involvement with the Watchtower Society. I may not have commented as many do not when first discovering the "truth about the truth", but I sat four years silent on here reading every post. I do in a sence feel a bit of cliquieness between some posters but this happens anywhere. I try not to think of that but just do my best to aid in exposing Watchtower wrongs. I miss many on this board who no longer post and hope ones can stay a contributer to the board rather then cease activity.

As for content I feel that the board is pretty well on track for what it should display.

I don't think this board should move on from critically analyzing the Watchtowers doctrines. This is the place that everyone knows and goes if the latest news is to be had on the Organization. Their are other boards out their comprised of ex witnesses who have essentially moved on and left the Watchtower behind. I think that is a healthy step in ones process but this board and most who are older posters here I think have moved on but give their time to try to help newbies. In spite of this boards imperfections it does offer a tremendous amount of documented information of the Watchtower organization. It helps put this information into the hands of the public with good debate added to the mix.

i had a talk last week(by the way thanks to everyone who helped me out

but the brother gave me such "loving counsel" letting me know i have to work on the study point again: use of an outline beacause i was supposed to actually write out an outline instead of just reading straight from the script.

english class?

Yes hopefully everything will work out better for you soon. Just don't give up.

Hopefully the board will get better and mature more.

In which direction Minimus? As in moving on from JW topics or just as to the general information or attitude of the board?

SEND WATCHTOWER A MESSAGE - Keep clicking on this link

.

if they see a large amount of hits on their blood brochure during the next several weeks, it will send a message to watchtower that we are aware of kerry's article.

Its possible because if anyone only the lawyers would take a more critical attitude and investigate into it. Possibly they may get spooked and pull it down, but will have to wait and see.

I clicked on it but I don't think they are sweating it out yet. They will automatically side rail any attack as a "seperation of Church and State". I don't think they will make any moves until they start losing a few court cases due to this lawyers expose on their blood policy.

A Question For BARBARA ANDERSON

by DevonMcBride in

when things settle down is there any chance the lawyer who wrote this article, or one of her colleagues would be willing to come to this forum and answer some of the many questions we may have?

Ticker

Barbara I just want you to know no matter how some have voiced opinion over this "Big News" everyone one is hoping it will take effect and is deep down supporting it completely. I think everyone no matter what they have said is hoping for this to gain force and take the Watchtower by the horns. We just tend to sometimes get heated in debates but no one should ever criticize one for doing a worthy cause such as exposing the Watchtower Society for what it is. I applaude your continued efforts.

All right cut the crap.... why are we fighting over the Big News?

by Check_Your_Premises in

if the big news is legit, someone will file suit and win.. if it is the big snooze one of the above will not happen.

nothing we do or say here will bear on the outcome of the above.

if you think it is the big news, by all means promote it as such.

Ticker

I agree too with some of these comments. Were not fighting, were debating. Of course we all want the Watchtower to aswer for its wrongs. We have all laboured to shed light on the hypocrisy of the Society even risking our family contact due to the shunning policy.

Yes their are definately some that are dissapointed but in no way does this signify any form of intimidation on their part! Rather these ones have likely been deeply hurt due to the Watchtowers misleading policies. I know of several who have lost family due to the blood doctrine of the Watchtower society and I personally wish nothing more then for them to gain retribution. These ones who have lost the most have no fear of the Watchtowers intimidation. Only possibly thoese still suffering from indoctrination or with family in the Watchtower Organization would feel any real intimidation from the local level of the Society.

I feel honestly it was a bit overhyped by many on this board, and many let it run away a bit, but its exciting and I understand. Still though besides that I think its commendable that people are seeing the seriousness of endangered lives due to the Watchtower policy on blood.

Yet still I believe that the odds of this brochure campaign having success are unknown at this point and some may have seeked a quick swift justice. This is not the case with the "Big News". If it does gain momentum then it will snowball into a great way of relief to thoese who have suffered at the hands of the Watchtower Society. I agree were all on the same side and may this have the success hoped for.
