    Dear everyone,
    You may known that previously, this discussion forum owned by Big Ray, he is a faithful witness to Watchtower, he sold his forum then formed some other similar forums for others, who faithful to the Society. However, he now seems has a problem with Society. I'm not sure, just visit and see what happens to him:

    I have to wonder if the Society isn't shooting themselves in the foot on this issue.

    The only sites that will buckle into their pressure are the ones that are faithful to them. So, if they systematically shut down all of the favorable sites, then by default, the only ones left will be the apostate sites.

    So, when interested persons or curious Witnesses wander onto the web, they have no option but to visit one of a zillion apostate sites (or one very dry official site).

    Thanks again, WTBTS.

    Well it doesn't say anything about the Society on his page. Sounds to me more like he ran out of $$$ to pay for bandwidth than anything else.


    I'm sure glad we don't vote anymore like we did before we got the truth. Now we get to complain about everything ALL the politicians do!

    RunningMan: Quite right. But then, the WTBTS isn't famous for making smart decisions, now is it?

    There's a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that they're going to make Internet usage in general a horrible sin in an upcoming Watchtower, like watching a porno movie or going to a church service or something. Most of the faithful would then stop using it completely, I guarantee you. The rest will be OURS! BWUAHAHAH! Welcome to the Dark Side! *GIGGLE*

    Dear all,
    I agree with you all, however, this one (from a friend of Big Ray) still available:

    What they will do is shut all the pro JW sites down and then they can say the only stuff on the internet isn't JW related, so poof, No more internet. People will do whatever the WTS says, even if they think it was proposterous. My father-in-law once told me that he hopes the society doesn't make a rule against caffeen, cuz he wouldn't know what to do if he couldn't have it. That really made me think, if its ok to have now...the only reason you would stop is because the society says not to...boggle. We all know it isn't the healthiest thing out there. Him especially. but thats another thread.

    BIG RAY did not get pressure from the Society to shut down his site. He simply did not have the manpower, time or energy to keep screening the applicants who wished to be admitted. Then they had the admins and mods who constantly controlled the posters and kept them so regimented into the forums and would shut down any thing that seemed to conflict with their view (ie no one under 21 should be dating, so no posts regarding that view or solicitation by those under 21 for a possible partner).

    I think Ray had a hard time admining the site along with the cost of the whole durn thing. He was a good man with good intentions.

    I have no good words about the owners of the other sites!

    religion, esp the WT variety, cannot live in an atmosphere of free information flow.....

    control the information flow and you control most people... lose control and you have lost the people!!!!!

    Which brings up an interesting question....

    How the hell is Simon financing this site? Is he actually breaking even, or are we sucking his pocketbooks dry every month?

    I got kick off of Great Crowd after one post and I'm active. They will shut down eventually but for being to boring. The average post there is "what is your favorite color" or "what is yor favorite kingdom melody" They really live in LaLa land.

    Crazy is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
