i have recently joined the site.
i was just appointed an elder this summer.
i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.
Man. I love your story.
My Dad's an elder, and since I've woken up, I can't help but daydream that he really has woken up to TTATT, but is like you and is just staying in for the time being.
It's just a fanciful dream, not based on reality, but hey. I'm a JW. I'm used to fanciful dreams not based on reality.
is it possible for the site to display which members are currently logged in at any time ?
Are you talking about using Analytics to publicly display data, or just using it for analyzing visitor data for your own benefit?
Because, if it's the latter, it's a very simple matter to implement.
to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territory re: survey on use of printed publications .
dear brothers: .
the branch office is working on arrangements for the 2015 regional conventions.
Likely: What they will probably do is print out a special card with an access code or even release the access code verbally as part of the talk.
In order to download the publication, you must sign up for a JW.ORG account and give them your e-mail address, name and congregation.
That way, their Bethel hackers can cross reference the e-mail addresses with apostate website databases.
(I actually had a fear before signing up that this website was secretly run by the society to root out doubters and undercover apostates. I'm such a moron.)
so i started dating on the internet in june and have met some nice guys.
i have put in a few recent posts that i have a boyfriend and wanted to give an update.
things haven't worked out sadly.. i was seeing him for a couple of months we were having fun and then things tailed off after christmas.
KateWild,
Before I met my wife at the KH, I tried internet dating. JWs and non-JWs.
I kind of got disillusioned over it. As a JW, I guess I had a naive view of dating. I was looking for a mate. Every single person I met online was just looking to hook up, one night stand or "friends with benefits" kind of relationships.
That was 12 years ago, though.
In retrospect, I'm sure that's not how ALL folks on those sites were and as far as today, I can't speak to that. But that's sure what it seemed like.
mormon leaders have moved to excommunicate the prominent founder of an online forum for questioning mormons, charging him with apostasy for publicly supporting same-sex marriage and the ordination of women, and for challenging church teaching.. .

Maybe you're a female polygamist that wants to be ordained.

No, I meant I was kind of kidding in comparing the two.
The situations are obviously different. Story just struck me as vaguely similar.

This post was obviously made in jest.

we talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.
i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.
i had been yo-young back and forth for years.
MissFit:
I now consider myself mentally out.
I'm coming to grips, though, with getting emotionally out. I think that's why I'm having that mental battle between Reason/Logic and Tradition/Family.
I don't know if I'll ever be 100% emotionally out even if I'm 100% mentally and physically out.
As long as there are familial ties to the organization, I don't know if I can have emotional closure.
out of the blue my wife started to ask me about my feeling about the borg.
i told her i didn't want to talk about it...she persisted.
she already knows how i feel, i told her that my biggest beef is that they use mind control, and yep she went in to how i was an apostate and how she doesn't want to be married to an apostate.
gttm: I'm really sorry bro.
Man. I don't know what else to say. Anything else would be trite.
That is so sad that she can't let you have your own beliefs.
This organization likes to brag about their victories in championing freedom of religion when their policies oppress freedom of worship more than anyone else.
