I agree with Czar. When i first found the e-Watchman site I though Hmm, not bad. As with all things like this it started out reasonable, especially as I was fading and looking for reasons to beat the WTS over the head, so I cheered from the sidelines. However, as time has gone on I became unsettled by what was being written and realised that this was the same feeling I had within the WTS. I posed various questions and assumed various disguises - outraged dub, compliant dub, sychophantic dub - which, incidently, got the best responses - he seemed to preen himself with my praise. I wrote an outraged dub question asking him if he was calling himself a prophet. It merited an essay all of it's own, which since I declared that on this site it has been withrawn from the e-watchman collection. What I found and have stated before on this site is that e-watchman does not answer the question you send him. It gets edited - anything to do with Franz, Rutherfraud or early times is excised and the question thus posted bears no resemblance to what you asked. He then answers this revised question, puts in straw men and generally rambles on and on. This, I think, is deliberate as he knows most people glaze over after a few mind numbing sentances, but it gives him the opportunity and platform to show 'what a clever boy I am'. Some of the replies from readers boarder on the sick-making with their sugary-sweet sychophancy and oh how wonderful brother, tell me more etc. To me it is just another form of mind control and ensared dubs are replacing one form of mind-terror with another - fed up with the WTS and with personal axes to grind, here is a golden opportunity to WTS bash AND still believe in the end coming anytime soon. But this will soon just replicate the feelings they have with the WTS as they become more and more unsettled. Let's face it, in the WTS you believe you are God's Chosen Ones and go along with all that. The e-watchman dissenters are not sure anymore about being God's Chosen Ones and cognitive dissonance sets in. It is like being in a building with someone saying that it is going to burn to the ground but your only hope is to stay in it, but it is going to collapse, but don't worry it's God's building. What a quandry, flee and be destroyed or stay and be destroyed. E-watchman is not helping anyone save himself and because he won't stand up and be counted he is a moral coward. Sure, I won't say what I think to witnesses because I want to remain in contact with my family, but I am not setting up an alternative organisation and firing rockets and spreading dissent amongst the JW community like he is. I think he fancies himself as another Rutherfraud and should get some therapy before he injures anymore people.
