    Yes thanks a lot , for the great latitude ...... with freedom of speech.... balanced with caution and respect for all !

    You know another thing I like is when the moderators chime in on the topic's . It lets you know they are there and watching

    but also it's encouraging to know that they may actually be interested in your topic !

    Yes, I'm glad to be able to keep up with the collective insight and thoughts on all things JW, and to be able to ask advice here and there. Thanks to Simon, to the mods and to my fellow members.

    Thanks for the thanks guys, it means a lot and encourages us to keep the site running. It can be hard work at times but it's worth it knowing that it's appreciated and been helpful to so many people over the years.

    I also realize that this board started as a pro-JW board, and it evolved into what it is now. Simon could have pulled the plug when he saw it headed this way, or started making rules that would have held the criticism of the Washtowel Slaveholdery in check. However, at his expense and cost of time, he continued to maintain the board through many a problem.

    I myself have seen quite a few times when the board had problems. These were technical in nature, and happened every time he tried upgrading the software. It would repeatedly go down, and these problems had to be addressed. And there have been posters that have showed up to create havoc, usually by bashing everyone and anyone for no reason. I have seen people spoofing usernames, posting porn, and recently posting a link to porn with a virus. Dealing with such people while keeping the good posters content isn't easy, but Simon has persisted and did what he reasonably could to keep the majority of posters happy.

    I hope this board is around at least until the Washtowel Slaveholdery dies, and possibly longer. Even after they are gone, people are going to be able to discuss experiences that they had while still in. And, it might just prevent the successor to the witlesses from ever getting off the ground.
