  The Dynamics of online Apostaworld: the History

  by Bas in

  i've been really interested in this myself for a while as the online apostacommunity has grown large over the last couple of years.. as most of you probably realize, the internet has been instrumental for apostates to hook up and make a virtual fist at the watchtower, the turbulent history the online apostacommunity might interest you alot.

  it interests me.. as i'm not someone that was here from the beginning, i'd really like to hear the stories of the oldtimers, the first apostates to hook up through the net, the stories from the first boards and sites that were apostate and the evolution of the apostacommunity after that.

  i'm asking people that have been involved since at least 2002 or before to share their stories and views and things that stirred their emotions.

  Thanks for those links Euphemism, I'll be sure try to get Rosalie's and Obie's stories...Randy Watters ofcourse was already at the top of the list. Now I gotta make some clear boundaries on what info I want or this whole thing will be out of control and will take me years to finish. Can't have that... maybe I should contact the antropology department of my former uni, dunno. Still hoping someone from here wants to be my equal partner in this, possibly several people. Anyway, first I have to go list my potential sources and think of how to best interview them....

  Thank you alot Alan F, that's great info! thank you for taking your time, if you don't mind I will come back to you later with questions on this and you too Julie. Q: have any of the logs of JWO or the usenet groups been saved somewhere? It would be a great resource....

  Any "big" names from before 2000 and an emailadress would be very welcome too. I'll be sure to contact every administrator of any JW related site for their views and stories and I'll try to put together a temporary version of the paper ASAP. Thank you for your input.

  Yes tetrapod, this is a very interesting community and I would love to know it's history and share it. I don't think there is anything written on it yet, so this is really going to be a pioneering efford. Any help would be more than welcome, anyone with a basic knowledge of the important apostasites, boards and who know who the famous people in apostaworld are would qualify. It would be alot easier if this was a teamefford, so if you're interested, please post or send me an email or pm. I have some background in acadamics myself, and it would be great if you do too, but it is not a requirement.

  I have a small list of people who i want to email for their stories already and among the first things that I'd like to ask them about is the old H20 board, it was the oldest apostaboard that I know of and it has been gone for quite a long time now. Anyway, this passive way of gathering information through this thread is obviously not going to work, time to move on to a more proactive manner of getting it. Beginnings are always difficult....

  This is a start to me gathering info on this (what better way than to start on the biggest apostaboard?), but I intend to gather information from other boards and people as well to get a clear picture of this history. When I have enough rough material I intend to write a document that might be interesting to both oldtimers and newbies.

  You may post your stories and information here but you also can write me at [email protected] . Any info is welcome, esspecially on about who to contact for info and stories.

  Thank you for your contribution,

  JW's are LOSING IT

  at one of the last bookstudies i ever attended i heard a comment that really struck home to me how desperate these people really are getting, to the edge of insanity.

  an older woman commented, "you can tell the end is coming.. its in the air.. you can feel it.. there is something in the air.. times are just.. different" and the whole time she was manically glancing around the room.

  the conductor agreed with her.

  Apostafest T Shirt Slogans.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the first time that i met simon, he was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the word "apostate".

  it was all spelt out in evil-type letters, in fact it looked suitably demonic.. when i encountered him at another 'fest, his t-shirt slogan simply read: "no!

  i will not fix your computer!"..

  why is this forum so overcrowded and http://www.kent.steinhaug.no/forum/index.php?s== so sadly empty?

  guess it's because it's hard to find...oh anyway...
