  Closet apostate on the writing committee?

  2. friends

  i haven't seen any comments on this yet.... in the december 15, 2008 "study" version of the watchtower, in the last study article (the one to be covered march 1), paragraph 14 reads thusly in part:.

  "...one january evening, the man asked his wife, jodi, what she knew of jehovah's witnesses.

  she was a catholic, and she said that the only thing she linked to the witnesses to was "door-to-door preaching".

  Someone needs to make an 'apostate mirror' of the official site similar look similar feel but honest and full of the truth about the truth and then we can post instructions to make a ping redirect so that all of us can go onto peoples computers we know so that when they type in www.watchtower.com it redirects them to www.watchttower.com or similar!

  I did that once on my self righteous dads computer he had a porn site in his history that he frequented while giving me shit about not going to the hall so I did a redirect so that whenever he typed in that porn site it redirected him to the watchtower site! LOL

  Brilliant mr32208

  and very funny.

  Bottom line is, we need JW's on the net.

  Maybe the Society should write more about avoiding the trap of cyber flirting, internet porn and the wanton lust filled women that hang out on discussion forums

  Interesting.

  I doubt it was an accident, especially in a study article. Those are scrutinised at the highest level.

  It's quite strange really and I agree with sir82.

  Interesting link mickey mouse, thanks.

  I dunno. As noted above, how easy it would have been to say "She looked at our website www.etc." instead of "She typed Jehovah's Witnesses into a search engine." That sentence adds nothing to the experience - what difference does it make how she got to the website?

  And after nearly monthly reminders about how "dangerous" the internet is, they're going to accidentally let slip the single most dangerous thing a JW could possibly do (if he is to remain a JW) on the internet?

  I can't prove it, but it seems very plausible that someone attempted a low-risk subversive message, and hoped it would get past whoever does peer review on the articles. If it would have been caught, the writer could have easily just deleted or modified that sentence, with just a shrug of the shoulders. It's a case of "plausible deniability" - "Oh, yeah, I never thought of the danger of rank & file JWs doing that - OK, let me change that."

  So is this weird or really smart or does it remain to be seen?

  ok, i know he is capable of being really smart and really weird:) my 8 year old son last night wanted to read the declaration of independence for his bedtime story.

  the night before, we went over the 7 wonders of the world.

  he is on a ancient greek/revolutionary war kick, with a little classic mythology (in conjunction with the actual history) thrown in for recreational purposes.. this is very different than the other two kids-who of course were very different from each other.. he is 8. i didn't read the entire declaration of independence for myself until last night.

  Too many people

  try to turn internet discussions into their own personal pissing matches.

  how much can anyone learn and what knowledge can be expanded when posters vest a personal interest in a position, rather than a personal interest in learning?

  this never has made sense to me.. .

  g'day JWdaughter,

  Just go with the flow. Encourage his interests. He sounds like a cool kid.

  Just make sure he plays outside a lot and the nerdy little geek 'll be fine
