I wouldn't say they are necessarily doing the "right thing". Banning literature (of any kind) is a dangerous slippery slope, and I feel that their are better ways to counteract the jdubs teachings than to censor people's writings.
Also, it feeds their persecution complex - remember, that last days are close! 
please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.
this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.
at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.
the above is a quote from a jw female relative.
this was in response to a discussion about the suffragette movement ( and the movie about it that's currently in cinemas).
she seemed to think that it would be so much better if women were just daughters/ wives/ mothers and didn't go out to work and have career's?
Let's break this down into a non-gender based argument, shall we?
A) I would argue that most PARENTS would like to spend as much time as possible with their children, especially when they are young.
B) I would argue that most PEOPLE would prefer to have some career where they are able to apply themselves and feel rewarded.
C) I would argue that most PEOPLE, when indoctrinated over the course of their lives to believe that they are inferior to a different group of PEOPLE, will internalize and perpetuate those doctrines.
Just sayin, there's certainly no "womans' place" or even a "mans' place".

i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.
i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.
i do not condone any crime.
From the OP,
"i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings..."
This line strikes me as awfully strange. As others have noted, a lot of the terminology used isn't correct. No long term witness would ever say "I am jehovah's witness", but rather "I am one of jehovah's witnesses", or "I am a jehovah's witness". Also, I feel that this correlates with his(her?) other posts (the clouds, the rain, the drugs...). This person may legitimately believe they are, more or less, a prophet of jehoobah.

do you have any songs that you have listened and then thought that it also works from an apostate point of view?i have always liked this song, but one time realized that i was thinking how it sounds awfully familiar, if you think about those who have lost family/friends due to leaving.this song was originally made/written because one of the actors died in a car accident.

"don't be dismayed by good-byes.
a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
If people continue to post on this site in the manner Viv often does, and without moderation from the site admin/moderatorals, I believe that this
"and provide a friendly, tolerant and informative environment where you can ask questions, share information and make new friends."
should be edited to more accurately describe what this community is (has become), a place where long time posters will lampoon and harass anyone with a differing opinion, where moderators do not moderate, and where empathy is more scarce than it is inside a doomsday cult.
back in the years after ww2, newly discovered antimatter was perceived as destroying ordinary matter, so in one of old freddy's insane nightmares (forget which book, but it was the early 1950's) he envisioned yhwh-jesus hurling antimatter at the hated humans who refused to submit to him, and destroying their bodies bit by bit.. now, his vision dims:.
antimatter not so different after all.
scientists help make first measurement of antiproton attraction.
To clarify, the linked article does not claim that antimatter and matter do not annihilate one another (in fact, it reinforces such an idea). What it does claim is that the forces between antimatter's elementary particles, in this case antiprotons, are very simar to the forces between normal matter particles (protons). This leads to questions about the relative abundance of matter and antimatter in our universe, namely, why there is so much matter and (apparently) so little antimatter.
EDIT
This has already been clarified, sorry for the repost
in jw land having such was verboten.

"2. GMO plants do not produce seeds, leaving the farmer with no option except to buy new seed every year."
This is simply not true.
