some people recently raised concerns about security of the site relating to whether forum members could be watchtower plants trying to obtain information about people.

apparently, this was because a previous forum that was setup was either owned by or later handed over to someone who used it to collect personal information about people which was then used to harrass them.

i don't know all the details, i'm just paraphrasing what i've heard and recognize that it's a concern to some people.. i want to first of all put people's minds at rest: i've been running this site for what will be 13 years next month.

What happened at JWS can happen to any online forum no matter how secure it is.

Sebastious, you don't know what you are talking about.

Creative Revenge

think and post a creative (not damaging, violent, or illegal) action that would piss off those who shun us.

here is an example: many years ago when my hubby was still an elder he collected the mail for the kh.

Three people have unfriended you! Omigod! Who? What did I do? I offended people I don't even know!

Your arrest record is online! This one scared the shit out of me until I remembered that I've never been arrested.

Another Cardinal Falls

by designs in

the top cardinal of britian has resigned, cardinal keith o'brien, the archbishop of edinburgh, has given notice amid accusations by three priests that he made 'inappropriate contact' with them.

he will not be able to vote in the upcoming selection of the new pope.

the current pope has accepted his resignation.. like cardinal mahoney of the los angeles archdiocese, cardinal o'brien will be allowed to 'retire' receiving a nice pension and home paid for by hard working catholics.

Your posts are usually so reasonable, jgnat. I can't believe you're taking this stand defending a corrupt institution. I'm surprised.

good morning jwn-land.. since my parents and my husband and i have learned ttatt we have been keeping quiet, mostly.

we have held off on revealing our true names, my dad has held off joining jwn and telling his story because we have been waiting for one special event.

my dad talking to his mother about ttatt.

I hope your entire family gets out of that org, grandma included. But, it's her choice and some folks make stupid choices.
