who is the anonymous person behind e-watchman?
many here have wondered and/or speculated about who runs the e-watchman site.
for some of you oldtimers here, what follows will likely remove any and all doubt as to who the person actually is.
AlanF,
I guess it seems more than likely that 'You Know' has something to do with E-Watchman. My question is: do you think he's in this alone, or in collaboration with others like him - a.k.a. disgruntled 'annointed'.
I hold this whole 'e-watchman' phenonmenon in HIGH importance. For a variety of reasons.

was armaggeddon leaving the jw"s for you?
did you feel that after constructive thinking and rationalization you found your freedom?
beans .
In a sense, a personal form of Armageddon...total destruction of the psyche. Failure of logic and sound reasoning to soothe the wounds...only because I was trained not to let them.
Painful, yet given the chance to go thru it all over again, I would...only sooner!
Knowing the truth about things isn't enough, that truth must be acknowledged. This is the barrier for many, many intelligent witnesses. The WT knows quite well that it can't really hide the truth about itself. Therefore, the witness mind is programmed ('washed'...if you will), to discount the truth about things if that information discredits the WT.
This is why I believe people like the E-Watchman are so significant. Here's a loyal witness publicly acknowledging the WTs faults, and to some small degree, calling them to task for it. This is the worst nightmare the WT Society could have ever imagined, because this indicates that there are some witnesses willing to call things as they are. Even though his rationalizations for it all damage his credibility, it is still notable that there exist witnesses who are willing to call things as they really are!
In my opinion, this is quite telling, because eventually, more and more who are honest enough to recognize the truth about 'the truth' are starting down the road that will eventually lead them to their own, personal Armageddon.
have you ever had a point in your life, where you get too much information.
have you ever felt that you were better off not knowing certain things?
sometimes i think if a person gets too much information, it can cloud their judgement on things.
Not bliss...more like oblivion.
You finally asked your doctor about Viagra?
coming at this as a householder rather than an ex-jw, i'd love to hear from any of you about comments from householders that made an impression on you, back when you were active in the door-to-door work.
since the jw's first knocked at my door 13 years ago, i've done my best to give them something to think about every time they knock at my door.
i always introduce myself by name and try to get their names.
As a young kid, I was at a door with another young kid. We met a Born-Again pastor. He ended our discussion by shouting at us...
'You're going to hell, man....and you're TAKING PEOPLE WITH YOU!!!'
Prick. Yeah, that did so much to help me wake up from the cult. If people would only realize that kind of behavior only reinforces that cult 'us against the world' mentality. Never mind that fact that we were only young kids (maybe 10 - 12 years old) just doing what we were told.
just wondering, all you non-canucks(canadians) on this forum.
what do you think of canada, and canadians?
be honest, good or bad or in between, it'd be neat to read what impression non-canadians have of us canuckastanis (thanks pat buchanan).
Did the Canadians invent the mullet? And ship it here to the states? If so, thanks for NOTHIN'!!!
q: what do these three things have in common?.
a: they can all be found at metro detroit busstops!
i actually, though hesitantly, got on a bus the other day with a man carrying a chain saw.
Hey, look at it this way....
You took those magazines, had your laugh, and probably disposed of them. Now, if you hadn't taken them, thry might have ended up in the hands of someone who doesen't know better. See? You did the world some good!
not really jw related, but when has this stopped any of us before.
representative charlie rangel has been calling for the draft to be reinstituted.
folks, this just ain't gonna happen.
Yeru, are you familiar with Retired Col. David Hackworth? I've been reading his columns for some time now. What do you think of his opinions? www.hackworth.com

For me, it's more than 'feeling sorry' for the people caught up in it all. I have some genuine FEAR, for my family if/when the day comes that they can't ignore the cancer anymore. I'd like to think they can come to terms with it like I have, but I have no doubt that when the shite comes down, people will kill themselves rather than face reality.
