    So I went over there for the first time ever just to kind of check it out. I am SHOCKED by the large amount of JW's on there. (I am less shocked that they are copying and pasting the JW.org website and refferencing it, without ever answering any questions).

    My thought is this.....is the new attention to JW.org going to embolden JW's to start preaching via the web? It sure seems like it. i mean they are pretty represented from what I saw, and not by apologists, just by rank and file peeps.

    Thoughts?

    Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with that site. I'm a regular there and I pull no punches when asking the JWs tough questions. You're right about them giving lots of copy and paste answers and linking jw.org. They rarely give intelligent answers to critical questions. They just parrot the old Watchtower reasoning verbatim or they will attack the motive of the questioner. A common strategy by some is to falsely accuse a critical questioner of lying.

    I just am amazed by how many people reach out. Don't get me wrong, I think its a good thing. I am just wondering if this could be an unintended consequence of filtering more people to the website? Getting them more comfortable on-line could lead to opportunities.

    A lot of people ask questions on there to "troll". For JW questions, mostly it is apostates just trying to get a rise out of current JW's.

    I was just going through answers and questions. I noticed more dubs that I thought would be active on a site like that.

    Unintended consequence of telling people to use the net more?
