  Internet use and the dubs

  by William Penwell in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just wondering if anyone is aware of a clamp down coming down on internet use with the dubs?

  just talking to my parents tonight and there was some mention that "big brother" wt organization will be shutting down any dub web sites.

  i guess i wasn't to popular as i said, "god created us with a brain to think amd it would be the most divine thing if we used that brain to think for ourself".

  As a matter of practice the Bethel CIA (AKA Service Dept) and it's long arm of the Law (AKA Legal Services) already harass any owner of a dub web site that they feel offers too much info. I know some who have gotten letters from Service/Legal advising them to cease and desist certain postings on their sites.

  Some time ago the KM stated that it is not necessary to have personal web sites about the borg as that is already provided for by the FDS.

  It's all about control of information in and out. But I don;t think they can ever control it like they really wouold like. In other words no dub would have any site that mentions dubs.

  if you had the power to print millions of watchtowers & awakes and you could see to it that the articles that you wrote got to all the readers, give a sampling of what the articles highlighting "spiritual food" would say.

  Child Abuse not grounds for divorce

  by RevMalk in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've read, and heard that sexual child abuse is not grounds for divorce according to the watchtower.

  can anyone help me in finding documented proof to that effect?

  (or even not so documented is a start).

  Do You Automatically Believe Everything A Poster Says About Him/Herself?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sometimes, when i read what a poster says, especially a new poster, i don't always assume that they are legitimate.

  do you ever feel this way?

  does it cross your mind that a person is falsely representing himself/herself ??

  I tend to take people at face value unless given a reason to be suspicious. Perhaps if they indicated that Knorr was the president of the dubs or some such drivel.

  We love the Orlando area. La Nouba is especially enjoyable.

  We're going to retire to the Central Fl area, in fact we're working on our house plans now. The boys graduate from college this year and won't need Daddy's bucks anymore (we hope), and will likely move out pretty soon too. We won't need this big damn house anymore. See ya round the links.

  Social anxiety VS. Jw influence

  by NEWWORLDSLACKER in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my question for tonight is this : after leaving the witnesses do you still feel disjointed from society in general ( and i mean the human race not the wt) ?

  im realizing that i still have quite a hard time in social situations where there are more than say 4-5 people .....i tend to get into a dreamy feeling state , and just basically out of it feeling .

  i tend to blame it on being raised a dub .

  I don't depend on the dubs for my identity. I am who or what I make of myself. What you see is what you get. I think I've always been that way, even as a kid.
