  Being Removed From Facebook and Twitter

  i have a very good friend who has been banned from facebook simply because he makes remarks positive about president trump and negative toward the democratic party.

  he has tried to get back on facebook and it appears there is no way for him to return.

  people are being removed from social media platforms simply because they have a different political view.

  I think companies like Twitter and Facebook are incredibly powerful and have tremendous influence over how people think and their access to information. There comes a time when they are a whole other entity to regular online sites and need more rigorous regulation. It is a form of party contributions.

  Look at Brexit. It was practically pulled off by Facebook ads (There was a scandal because there is a limit to how much money a political party can spend on advertising on a campaign in the UK. Facebook ads cannot be traced or counted, based in the states too)

  so here i am 44 yr old divorced and free to remarry jw sister....first time single since i was 19. but guess what no single brothers in my area.

  i’ve tried those stupid jw dating sites and still no luck.

  oh yes there are tons of single brothers, but guess what...they all expect a hot barbie to come running into their life.

  Plus, me, my wife and my son have gone through so much in our lives that we want more distancing from the JW past and anti-JW activism as time goes by. We have made a conscious effort to get more “normal”

  Hey Edenone I’m so glad to see you’re doing ok. You really did go through a hell of a lot. I remember some of it. I’m glad you’re still around. You were always the voice of sanity!

  Has Anyone Gotten Disfellowshipped Here and For What??

  sex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.

  even if you weren’t disfellowshipped , do you know why some people you know were disfellowshipped?

  PS I’m so glad your wife woke up. Are you on any other sites? All ex JW sites are crazy in my humble opinion. But I think on this site you can express any opinion you wish....and yes, I agree some of them are boarderline offensive, even. But I don’t think this site is so controlled like reddit is. On reddit only one type of opinion is acceptable. If you express any other you will get a warning and will be literally mobbed. Funnily enough I’m the sort of person who has very Reddit- centric views, but I utterly hate the fact that anyone with other political or religious opinions are silenced there.

  I rarely if ever agree with Simon, but I respect the fact he doesn’t try to silence you if you don’t agree with him. Not to mention this site has an absolute wealth of JW knowledge and information. There’s nothing like it for that!! I also think it’s good for more personal support, if you need it.

  Im glad to hear you are moving on, are happy and financially comfortable. Sadly it’s not something you can take for granted with ex JWs. I hope you stick around, anyway, at least occasionally!!

  Hi Star Trek. I’m interested in reading the book since it’s hard to get (out of print). I too will pass it on when I’m finished reading it.

  id love the old book too
