The perfect JW honey trap

mauddib

-I'm a JW who has been in the org his entire life.

-I never used a computer except at work to place customer orders.

-My wife buys me an 800mhz system from the neighborhood Circuit City store as an anniversary gift. Says I can research my ministry school talks. (?)

-I hook it up, it works (!! yeah !!) and I type Jehovah's Witnesses into the search engine.

-I figure ONLY the words Jehovah's and Witnesses will appear. I want to avoid those pesky apostates on the internet our book study conductor warned about when my wife told him about the gift.

-One of the results of my first search is:

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/

-MULTIPLE CHOICE QUIZ #1

Based on the above scenario *MOST* faithful Jehovah's Witnesses who are "newbies" will look at the url " http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ and naturally conclude one of the following. [Hint: only one true answer.]

(a) http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ must be a web site for Jehovah's Witnesses (because true Jehovah's Witnesses would shun apostates). ___TRUE ___FALSE

(b) http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ must be a web site for Jehovah's Witnesses and opposers (because true Jehovah's Witnesses no longer shun apostates but treat everyone as an equal). ___TRUE ___FALSE

-MULTIPLE CHOICE QUIZ #2

Based on the above scenario *MOST* faithful Jehovah's Witnesses who are "newbies" and visited the url " http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ will naturally conclude one of the following. [Hint: there might be more than one "true" or "false" answer.]

(a) http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ must be a web site for Jehovah's Witnesses (because only true Jehovah's Witnesses NOT apostates are posting on this site). ___TRUE ___FALSE

(b) http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ must be a web site for Jehovah's Witnesses and opposers because many posting are faithful JWs, and there are many more apostates as well. Newcomers who wish to continue being Jehovah's Witnesses conclude they have no choice but to leave immediately because the name of this site is mislabeled. ___TRUE ___FALSE

(c) Many JWs new to the internet who find http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ while searching for Jehovah's Witnesses-only materials unfortunately conclude that first, they have stumbled into an honey trap set by apostates to ensnare their faith; and second, they may perceive the information in most postings as misleading because they feel mislead by the name of this site. ___TRUE ___FALSE

Note: pay special attention to "many" versus "all" qualifiers in answering "true" or "false" (e.g., if answering "true" to the above (c) multiple choice response, you are stating that "many" (but not necessarily "all") JWs have drawn the aforementioned conclusion.

Rather than drawing personal conclusions at this point, I would like to sit back and see the conclusions from these two simple quizes then respond as appropriate.

Thank you for your time and honest responses.

your friend,
mauddib

Honey!

all of the above, plus this

1) this HAS to be a JW forum because people of every race, religion, creed, ethnic and social status are getting along in here with free exchange of ideas and intellectual and spiritual expression ---and only Witnesses have THAT! True________False_______

or

2)this CAN'T be a JW forum because people of every race, religion, creed, ethnic and social status are getting along in here with free exchange of ideas and intellectual and spiritual expression ---and Witnesses lack THAT! True_________False_________

Listen up kiddies, there will be a quiz later!

Life is a roller coaster. Get in, sit down, shut up and hang on!

Feeling a little duped Mauddib?
Now you can understand how most of us on this board feel after listening to the JW's in the first place.

What goes around comes around.

Hope you find your research for you ministry school talks. Don't tell your book study conductor
you came to this site or posted here, if you do you're really understand the meaning of fear.

Have fun with your new computer and tell your wife we all said hi.

there is a reason that we are here.
most all of us here, are either, "in" the truth, and doing our research and coming up with different answers than the "organization", you know, "Gods" channel.

some are out completely, and need this forum for the support provided here to help them recover from the devastation of finding out exactly what they were in.

and some are betwix and between.

how about you my friend? i'm a "brother".....how about you? i've been in the truth for about 40 years. last year i found out the truth about the truth. thats why i'm here. for the support of friends here, that frankly, you find it difficult to find in your local congregation. not imposible, but hard.

I'm not taking the quiz, but I am welcoming you to the board.

Stick around, read a few harmless looking posts. I think that you will find that you will be hooked.

However, I agree with seven006, don't tell your bookstudy conductor that you've been here. If you do, and you feel bad but come back, they won't let you off the hook twice.

Introspection

I don't think I can really answer those questions since I've been inactive for a few years. Of course, taking a guess is usually better than not answering on multiple choice questions because you atleast have a chance of getting it right, but I'm guessing it's not exactly graded that way here..

Nice quotes from Dune. If you really believe that, then I guess you have nothing to be afraid of in being here.

Hi Mauddib

Welcome to our humble abode. We don't bite. Unless you're into that sort of thing. Kick off your shoes and stay a while.

I've met some awesome folks here. I hope you enjoy your stay.
