This is coming from a neutral place... but why does anyone write anything?? Why did Ray Franz write one book? Two books? Does it really matter? There are a lot of exJW's who are now "making a living" (sort to speak) off of coming out of the cult. Some have become psychologist/psychiatrists, some have become motivational speakers, authors and the list goes on... If you were raised in this cult, you were raised to be an opportunist whether you see it or not- you were also raised to be super judgmental of others whether you see it or not...

To be honest I know what he did was unlawful but I feel indebted to him because his website was like poetic justice. The Watchtower breached my confidence so many times I lost count so for me he’s a hero lol.
I think Watchtower (unsurprisingly) are demonstrating double-standards again because they are the biggest criminals on the planet.
I feel the same, glad someone else recognizes that the WT has broken so many of the very laws they are now crying out to for protection from... No, I do not advocate breaking copyright laws, but seriously--- how many other sites have all the same material on them??? Why has this one gone under such scrutiny?? Read the article and the ending will answer that!

Did you read the article? If you can't access here, go to reddit and see the actual newspaper clip. It may help clarify why it wasn't taken down as fast... and why it won't be going away anytime soon.

I often wonder about Scratchme1010 and the comments made... hmmm.
Has anyone ever given much thought to how many times the Watchtower has broken copy-write laws themselves??? Or is misquoting and in some cases outright plagiarism not considered a violation?

Social Media
by Emily1987 inas some of you may remember from a previous post of mine, myself and my husband are in the process of fading.
we began our fade in jan 2017 and haven't been to a meeting since may 2017. to say this time has been a struggle is an understatement.
it has been a lonely time for us, losing all of our so called friends.

HELL YES there's been TONS of direct and subtle hints to stay away from anyone who is no longer active. The most recent broadcast once again demonstrates how friends are to spy on eachothers social media or any other way possible--- if YOU are NOT LIVING UP TO IT, YOU WILL BE IGNORED. I did the same as you, started fading in the fall of 2015 and the soft shunning started within a few months, then it went to all out ignore (nearly run away type stuff) and now its evident we want NOTHING to do with it- so we are treated as if we are the walking dead (I guess to them we are). So, again to answer your question- it doesn't always take a direct command "unfriend people who don't go" since this cult gets into the MIND so deeply. People are programmed at EVERY SINGLE MEETING. They will just instinctively drop you like a hot potato. They've been programmed to. You are no longer a robot and they sense it. But as you well know--->> WHO CARES right??? LIVE LOVE LAUGH for real!

They were raised as JW's and left about 5 years ago, but harsh shunning began more recently... so sounds like they faded and then it went downhill from there for them.. This is TRAGIC to say the least.

Update on Detroit-Area Murder Suicide - Front Page Article
by lepermessiah inhttps://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2018/02/19/keego-harbor-jehovahs-witness-mom-triple-murder-suicide/351559002/.
this was on the front page of freep.com this morning - sadly there are some factual errors in this article that people will jump on (not allowed to go to college was in original article for instance - hopefully the reporter will correct it).
interesting reading the comments below the article - all kinds of opinions.

Agree with Sir82 above---
It depends on the hall you go to as to whether or not they will frown on college or turn a blind eye. However, think about it, about 5 years ago Mr. Tight Pants Tony was really coming down on higher education, so they may have really had issues. We knew of several families in our old hall that became inactive since they wanted kids to go to college (their son was removed from pioneer list and had no privileges for going to community college)
