  Forum Owner and Member Integrity

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  some people recently raised concerns about security of the site relating to whether forum members could be watchtower plants trying to obtain information about people.

  apparently, this was because a previous forum that was setup was either owned by or later handed over to someone who used it to collect personal information about people which was then used to harrass them.

  i don't know all the details, i'm just paraphrasing what i've heard and recognize that it's a concern to some people.. i want to first of all put people's minds at rest: i've been running this site for what will be 13 years next month.

  hey i have come to love some of the discussions on here and the information.

  i am currently awake and have no plans to fade, in my case i am patient enough to in time become an elder to at least help the younger friends here in my area, in the sense of helping them wake up/if elder have their back..

  I'm sure you'll get plenty of stories, many here are shunned, meanwhile thank you for sharing and I'm sorry to hear your family too are under mind control.

  Why Did You Get Baptised

  hi guys,.

  so then, why did you get dunked?

  were you pressured into it too, or did you do it because you honestly thought it was the right thing to do?.

  I was 15, had experienced a crappy childhood and the cult made me think I'd be happier if I was a true JW. I was dunked at Crystal Palace, London

  Glad you had a happy birthday. Do you know it's odd, my mum hasn't called me on my last 2 birthdays since I faded, yet she did previously.

  Curious About My Disfellowshipping.

  by vajeni82 in

  2. beliefs

  i recently read an interesting thread (is there a 'third' way to leave?

  ) that talked about fading instead of being df'd or da'd.

  i myself had planned to fade, but was df'd instead.

  If it was me I'd call up and ask. It sounds as though you were accused of something, and by simply not going to your JC they assumed this meant you were guilty of whatever it was you were accused of.

  i was wondering how a baptised jw see wordly people?

  i mean what do they think of people who arent jw ?

  do they think we will die forever and that we are controlled by satan?

  When I was a JW, I felt sorry for 'worldy' people as I thought they were walking aimlessly with no purpose. I had 'worldly' friends but never preached to them if they didn't take any bait, i didn't want them to die for refusing to listen to the 'good news'.

  No, last year I went after I'd startedcto fade, hated every second of it, was the last time I was in a KH, I won't be going this year. My wife invited me, I said if I went it would only be to please people I have nothing to do with, so should I go? She understood. It will be just like any other night for me.
