over the years i have posted many times, in many places that i was convinced there is an element working for the gb to chase posters away from ex jw sites by making life uncomfortable for them, even to get sites themselves to close down.. having seen many posters leave various sites, most of the sites give up and close down, it seems they are winning.. now this one, the premier site, is closing.. .

so sad..

i don't know if anyone else here buys or sells on ebay.

i'm thiking some do.

ebay has announced dramatic new policy changes to begin in may 2008 which spell disaster for many honest and ethical sellers and buyers such as myself who have given their blood, sweat and tears to make ebay what it is today.

What is the worst thing you ever seen done on a Message board?

besides the obvious cat fights, flame wars and other mundane nonsense that comes up from time to time.

all of which i think can come and go and be put out rather easy with good moderators and this sight seems to do a good job.

what i am talking about, is something so nasty that when you look back at it years later.

The ability to let go... Do Jws/ex-JWs have a problem with this?
by restrangled in

this is in no way meant to be an accusation.

it's just a question.

it could also be just human nature in general, or a personality type that was attracted to this religion in the first place.. it seems that several problems on this board just won't die a peaceful death.
