Covering your tracks on the computer after visiting JWN

by Quillsky in

i don't have to, fortunately, because i don't share my computer with anyone.. but i've been thinking, with empathy, about those that do.

how far do you go to stop people realizing that you've been here?

do you log in and out every time?

Crisis of Conscience

I rarely read and post at home. I regularly read the posts by accessing the site on my phone, anywhere (I've even done it at the hall). But occasionally I will use my home computer, with the browser in private mode, if I want to post and read. I can't post new threads from my phone. But I can respond to PM's.

Other than that, I handle my business elsewhere.

I wish I could be on this site as easily as I get onto Facebook. Oh well.

But I'll say this. If you have the ability to get on private mode on your browser, DO IT! It may suck to have to sign in every time. But at least you don't leave a trail, if you're in that situation.

How did you choose your screenname for jw.net?

alright, i'm curious now cause i've been wanting to know how certain people go their screennames.

now some people have their names involved with makes sense and so forth.

but i guess i'll start out.

Crisis of Conscience

The name I originally wanted was already taken.

Then I remembered that many people on this site kept suggesting reading the book Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz. The title of that book really made me think of how I had been feeling and how I still feel inside. I wanted to pick a name that expressed that and this was it.

Much to my surprise, no one had taken the name already. So I went with it.

Crisis of Conscience

Hey brotherdan. I was at Patterson also around that period. But it seems I left just before you did. Perhaps we have crossed paths.

I also went swing dancing a few times. But I wasn't skilled enough to be photographed. LOL Probably a good thing.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses.......................About Jehovah

by Crisis of Conscience in

i've had some people in the congregation lately try to give me pep talks to encourage me not to give up.. when i mention (not to everyone of course) some of the things that bother me about the org, many times they can't come up with a legitimate answer so they make up an excuse.. for example, i mention the double standards that i saw at bethel as well as the lack of love in certain brothers.

i get a blank stare and then an, "oh, that's because jehovah allows imperfect in the org.

but he'll clear things up when it's time.".

Crisis of Conscience

JW answer to the question from bez I wonder why it takes soooo long tho for certain things to come out...why is it left to go on and on and on before Jehovah steps in to sort it out?

"Uh, umm, eh,.........................To prove Jehovah's sovereignty!!"
