Are JW's becoming more mainstream or more reclusive?
by Pwned ini really dont know but i have read both opinions on this forum.

by Pwned in(i dont mean the countries - grammar nazis, please dont flame).
i dont know how many of you attended a spanish speaking hall like i did but in my experience and from reading people's posts i think that there are some pretty big differences.

If the WTBTS knew then what it knows now...
by Pwned inwould the internet have been banned ouright from the beginning?
it seems like they have been trying to reign in control of jw's use of the internet for the last few years but pandora's box has already been opened.
if they had just banned it from the beginning many dubs would have been afraid that if they went on the ineternet they would immediately be possesed by demons.

Some JW's will never see the light
by Pwned ini heard my father telling my sister that yesterday's watchtower study contained new information, ie 'new light'.
the thing is he was excited about it, said it gave him goosebumps.
how does that even make any sense?

Does the WTBTS publish DA statistics?
by Pwned ini was just wondering what the statistics are since around 2000 when the internet really took hold.
i know when i was going to meetings 1977-1995 da announcements were almost unheard of and from the anecdotal evidence from this site it seems like it is commonplace.
would most of you who still actually attend feel that there has been a significant increase in da in the last 5-10 years or was my congregation back in the day just weird?

Hotel lists and the internet
by Pwned in.
do they even bother with those stupid lists anymore now that people can probably find much better on hotwire.com, priceline, etc?.
i remember the rush to the lists when they were posted and my dad (elder) was a good dub and never called to make reservations until the list had been posted.
