looky looky - A 'real' J-dub forum! (are they becoming normal???)
by Reality79 inso did the 'da society' give these dub internet savvies permission to start a forum?
because last i checked, the ole boys in their oversized brooklyn bunker didn't want their members on the internet unless it was to view their own official websites.
i thought maybe it was an apostate forum until i read their long winded, typically condescending jdub style membership guidelines:.

TRUST comes from Promise and Performance: the GB test
by Terry intrust is based on expectation (of a promise made) and performance.. i promise you something and you expect it; then, i deliver on my promise.. trust is established.. the watchtower society establishes trust by rhetorical promises, reassurances, constant repetition of features and benefits in the bye and bye: life everlasting vs destruction at armageddon.. they invite your trust by making wonderful promises---but--have they earned your trust by performance??.
the watchtower governing body are like a gigantic bernie madoff promising fabulous returns on invested money.. the investor looks around at all the high-profile celebrities who are trusting bernie and say to themselves: "he must be trustworthy, look at all the others.".
smoke and mirrors.. the rank and file jw looks around at the only friends (fellow jw's) he has/trusts and says: "they trust the gb, i should too.".

Do you get hassled for posting here frequently?
by sabastious inmost people in my life that know how frequent i post on this forum find it very troubling.
i have often been accused of "not being able to let go.
" i don't agree that i post here because i'm not willing to let go, i think i post here because i think this place helps other people and i want to be part of it.
