Privacy Rights of Ex-JWs
by Scott77 iniam writting to ask how do the wts tracks ex-jw's members who have moved from place to place or moved to out of state locations?
in tracking them, is not this a violation of individual right to privacy?
i know of an individual who have been tracked after he moved out of state after he was severally 'persecuted' for deciding to cut of himself off from the congregation only to find wts groups tracking him once again to his new location.

Search within Jehovah's-Witnesses
by Scott77 inplease, i am suggesting to improve the searchability of this site.
for example, if i want to follow up my topic i started the previous day by typing it in the search box, i do not get it.
some topics are hotter than others, hence the need to track them as members joins in with their feedbacks.

Long time lurker, 1st time poster
by Mattieu inwell where do i start, perhaps will go into more detail later, though briefly - 40 years young, raised in the truth (kingdom baby, which meant i was never going to make it to primary/secondary school/work/get married/have kids....) former ms, regular pioneer, learnt 3 foreign languages, served in foreign language group, married (wife still goes to meetings), beautiful kids, baptised at 15 years of age, regular pioneer at 15, grew up in divided house.. .
hmmm, will go into my issues with all things organisational later, though firstly want to apologise, for being a self righteous spiritual pratt who did things by the book and sat with other elders/mss and prejudged others for not doing enough and having a wrong attitude about all matters spiritual and organisational.
i stepped down as an ms over a year ago (they were grooming me to be an elder), havent been to a meeting in 3 months, i knew it wasnt the truth for a number of years and have struggled badly the last few years.

Are there any post JW dating sites around?
by Nellie ina computerphobic friend of mine (seriously) wants me to sign her up on a few dating sites.
she's inactive and not interested in going back, but imo would benefit from being with someone who understood the whole "borg" thing.
is there such a thing?.

Faders
by Awakened at Gilead ini'm new to this board but i see many term themselves as faders.
i may just fade away, but on the other hand, i went ahead and told the elders that i don't believe in the wts garbage anymore.
1914, fds, al of it, i told them, is "rubbish" (i didn't want to say bs in the kh).
