Fred, you're so predictable! I deliberately waited to post this until early this morning (5:08am here) so as to catch your regular posting time; I knew you couldn't resist being the first to post, and would post something idiotic!

So why 3:00pm to 5:00pm boardtime, Fred? Is it when you get home from school? Lunch break?

i'm fairly new here, so i need a little help figuring out who is who.

i guess, more directly, i want to know who the devout gung-ho jw's are.

i figure fred hall and you know are avid jw supporters, but are there more?.

YK and Fred are the consistent pointless ones; avoiding their threads is a good start. Also, when posting, avoid certain times; Fred's posting time is extremely regular and predictable. He usually posts between 3:00pm and 5:00pm board time, but can hang around for up to an hour later. He also posts between 8:00am and 10:00am board time on weekends. If you post anything which can make the WBTS look bad during these times, expect Fred to be the first to post a reply; something stupid meant to divert attention away from the issue you raised and create a "Piss off, Fred!" thread. I've got a feeling that Fred is actually an anti-Dub who posts his crap to really infuriate everyone here and raise the level of anti-Tower emotion.

i just had a great new idea for a tv show, the jw fear factor!

the one contestant that can read apostate literature, and still remain a faithful follower gets what?.

this was taken from .www.greatcrowd.com why such fear?

What?? They can't even read Tolkein???????????????????????

That was one point at which I refused to compromise in my own abusive religious past: they couldn't make me stop reading LOTR!

Bill Bowen Rocks!

the interview was great.

bill told his story of the shameful way in which he and the victims of paedophilia he was trying to protect were treated brilliantly.

but where did they dredge up such a deadshit interviewer?

The WT had the nerve to poke fun at them... and they knew exactly what their own shortcomings were..... My, my, my, how things do change.... The tables have turned, and guess who's going to be poking fun at the WT!

You've got to admire the nerve, if not the motive! I suppose in the late 80s when the elders' letters regarding child molestation first started coming out that the Society was doing well enough that they thought they could continue to whip the congregation into submission. They didn't realise the impact the death of the "generation" would have from the mid 90s - people began to grow tired of the fading hope, and even the beatings couldn't motivate them to protect this org which had let them down. For an org which supposedly speaks God's prophetic word from time to time, the advent of the internet and its impact took them totally by surprise. Suddenly here was an anonymous discussion forum and source of information which the Society couldn't deny to their people. The result is that many are coming out of the nightmare molestation scenario (perpetrator protected by the Society) and telling their stories anyway. The Society has cried "Wolf!" so many times that people just don't cringe when they hear that cry anymore. And now that the Society is in bed with the Wild Beast, what little credibilty the R&F once thought the Society may have retained has gone out the window. Defend them while you can, Freddie boy! They won't be around much longer.
