by MerryMagdalene in

2. scandals
in a word--no!

consider the following perversion of justice and threat to civil liberties:.

the watch tower bible & tract society of canada brought suit against the owner/operator of the popular research website quotes.watchtower.ca, seeking to shut down the site, take the domain name for themselves, force the destructions of the files, and pocket $100,000 damages in addition to legal fees, claiming intent to embarrass and to divert traffic from the official watchtower website.

WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site
by Quotes in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
in compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".

the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).

my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.

2. beliefs
yesterday i noticed that there were at least 3 newbies who signed up and posted.

almost every day we have at least 1 new person sign up and post.

that of course doesn't include those who sign up and don't post.. i've read numbers that stated it took so many hours of witnessing to make 1 baptized jw.

The WTS 's fear of the internet
by greendawn in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
they pressured their own followers into not setting up websites to promote the jw religion,they have demonised the internet as if on every webpage there is someone ready to destroy the faith of a jw, and they are monitoring websites that are hostile to them to see if they can find ways to legally close them down.

.

why do they fear the net so much if they have the truth as they like to parrot so often?

Jihad
by wombat in
1. jw
2. friends
my (non-jw) son refuses to talk to any of his jw uncles, aunts and cousins.

his daddy (me) da'd over 30 years ago and has been shunned by the large jw part of his family ever since.. so, in my adult son's words, he had declared jihad on the wtbts and refuses to acknowledge any of them.. he's a successful popular fellow that everyone looks up to.

they will miss him.

how about every lurker on here and all others spreading the news that unhappy jw's worldwide are to do a general boycott of all jw related activities (meetings, fs, etc) in for the entire month of february 2006. would be interesting to see what happens to the us average publishers for that month.. power to the people!
