Closet apostate on the writing committee? (page 3)

I believe there is a service that one can pay into/or a way to fiddle with accessing sites that puts you at the top of the list. They have constant inquiries going in-or something to a particular website and the fake 'popularity' drives it to the top of the list. Or something like that. I read it somewhere, but it made sense at the time. Some computer literate type would know.

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."

Hopefully, every single witless that has Internet access will do exactly as that washtowel suggests. Which is to go online and Google "Jehovah's Witnesses" (and hopefully type in "Witlesses" instead). And they will not stop with the first site--after all, if it's really the truth, the attacking sites will simply be "You are all going to Hell" and "You don't know what you are talking about" type attacks.

And hopefully, they will all land on apostate sites, read them, and join them.

Interesting article; you make a great point.

It is highly unlikely that anyone with no prior knowledge of JWs would become a JW after surfing the internet. Going to the internet gives both sides of the story, which is enough to convince virtually anyone that it is not the truth.

The main reason people do not leave the WTS on learning of all the failed predictions is fear of loosing family and cognitive dissonance. A person randomly studying the internet suffers neither of these, and so will quickly see from the internet that it is a cult.

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

To closet apostate at Brooklyn -- for your next article, begin each paragrah with the letters A-P-O-S-T-A-T-E. That way we'll know you really exist.

Maybe we need a secret code. When we say, "Dumb as a bag of hammers," you resond with "But not as dumb as a Hogwallup."

I'm buying a trench coat today.

LMAO @ parakeet-- I your posts! *whistles tune of "Secret Agent Man"*

LOL! Care to share how this is done?

I suspect there have been artists with similar inclinations. Look at many others who have been to Bethel and realized it was a scam. Many came out, but others might not feel so free to do so and stay in and tell their truth from within.
