    I am new since January .. but I had lurked since November 2004.

    I got to this site via WT Observer site. I tried a couple other discussion boards but some weren't very user friendly (interface-wise), and some were very off-topic and lots of porn and stuff.

    This site has been a great help to me personally, and I love having this wealth of knowledge insight and experience here. I have learned alot and think stuff like this is good, because we are building on something that was originally forged by lots of other so-called "apostates" that didn't even have the Internet to make a decision.

    I listen to some of those MP3's of the old judicial comittee meetings back in the 70's and 80's and can't believe the wealth of knowledge some of those people had and the balls they had to take on the old school elders ... geez.

    Of course ... I am breaking my news to my wife any day now ... sometimes I wonder if I have the balls to do that ...

    Hi everyone. I'm also a nubie. As I've said in an earlier post I've decided to contibute only recently, even though I've been out of the troof for a few years now, and only been trolling. My mum and dad are still in but they know that I'm not. So it's not really a secret and really I couldn't care less who knows. But I've been trying to let me folks know what the REAL deal is, without success. My only regret is that I BROUGHT THEM IN! D'oh!!!!!

    Gotta say tho, it's good to see others that have also realised the myth behind the facade that the WTBS is putting up. I have been reading a lot of previous posts and say cheers to ppl like IP_SEC, Blondie, JH, jgnat, kls, RichieRich, ozziepost, misspeaches, GetBusyLiving, Englishman, Minimus, LittleToe, and of course EvilForce. (Alright thats all I can remember). You guys and all the other regulars continue to keep the flame alive as it were by continuing to ask the right questions, making all those reading think. And the laughter too, how can I forget about that? (Just finished reading the joke thread PMSL)

    So I will try to contribute when I can and just like to say this is the best forum. Especially when I see the bond some of you have made. Now this is real LOVE. Not the one preached from the platform of your local hall, but REAL. So good on you guys and girlz. Keep it up and I'll try to join in when I can.

    I was looking at another site - freeminds.org and saw there was a discussion forum & because I enjoy forums & belong to a couple just popped on. It's been an interesting 1 month adn 4 days so far.

    And still the numbers downunder are increasing. Truly a Great Crowd!!

    Welcome aboard MOS! (even if you are from south of the border ) Glad you made it. there's a lot of us for you to get to know.

    Here's a suggestion: go to the "Best of" forum and you'll be in for a good read.

    Now settle back and ......enjoy!

    Cheers, Ozzie

    IP_SEC said: Was there a "fear the apostate! fear the web" part on the DC this year?

    Yes.

    One speaker said, "No doubt Satan has been waiting for years for a device to come along like the Internet that can link up complete strangers to use and manipulate for his purpose."

    I don't remember if this was a manuscript talk or not (one can usually tell).

    Also, that is not an EXACT quote ... only a recollection. I am confident that I did not exaggerate the quote though ... it really was THAT strong.

    Ain't it funny how Satan can always use some human invention for his wicked purposes... but J can't?

    The Dubs are so proud of their "history", being the first to use motion pictures, phonographs, MEPS... all blessings from J and evidence of His blessing....(of course they could CONTROL these vehicles)

    But the Internet is the spawn of Devil the Satan... (ie. we can't control it).

    What a bunch of whack jobs!

    "No doubt Satan has been waiting for years for a device to come along like the Internet that can link up complete strangers to use and manipulate for his purpose."

    OMFG, Ithink.

    Can anyone say "scared sh*tless"

    You know The Church ended up feeling the same thing about the Crusades. This was the link that allowed complete strangers to communicate. If you can keep people ignorant, then you have some power over them. If you let them see the other side; the silks, the culture, the hash, the spices then you have a problem.

    The web, gives us a forum to exchange ideas, points of view, and info but much more important it shows us that we are not alone.
