Does anyone remember when the Watchtower website first opened, it wasn't mentioned in the magazines or at the meetings for a while?
by slimboyfat ini seem to remember that from the mid-ninties onwards there were articles in the km and watchtower warning about the dangers of the internet.
as a result it seemed to come as a bit of a surprise to some witnesses i knew when the society opened up their own website.
but as i recall, when the society first opened the website, they never mentioned it in the literature or at the meetings.

New here
by Stimorol ini've been lurking this board the past few days and reading a lot.. i'm a 30 year old male from an unnamed european country, i was brought up "in the faith" by my jw-parents (my father is an elder and was even the "head elder" (i guess that's not the proper english term, english isn't my mother language) for a while, although i believe he stepped down when i faded away, but was reinstated as an elder later.
i never really had any interest in religion or god, not even as a child, even with my perfect jw upbringing.
it always felt like a chore and i did my jw duties, but just the bare minimum i could get away with, living at home with jw parents (attending the 3 meetings every week, and going to do field work 1 hours on saturdays).. at around age 15-16 i got baptized, i was not directly pressured to do it but some hints were made by parents/elders.
