I have one post left for the next 6 hours (because I am brand new), and I have a humble opinion that just must be screamed.
Many of the posts have nothing to do with with Jehovah's Witnesses
Er, that is the point. We have come from a place where EVERYTHING was about JW's. Welcome to the "world" If I wanted everything to be about JW again, I'd go to the hall.
new ones coming on this board would be turned off by the content of many of these off color posts. Foul inappropriate language which is not proper or suitable for exiting witnesses to visibly inspect
What, What What???? Are you writing a WT article? If those exiting find things exactly as they were inside, what's the point of exiting? If they find free expression so scary or distasteful, they may NEED to jump back in the congregation and bake for a little longer. They are not ready.
Many post are designed with a sexual complexion, instant turn-off for new ones coming in.
Perhaps all the women on the board should wear long skirts and avoid form fitting blouses, (and sisters, remember, the top of you slit is the bottom of your skirt!) and the men on the board should not highlight their hair or wear beards. And while we are at it, lets agree not to wear slogans on our tshirts, because someone could get stumbled.
Narcissism runs rampant on this board, just what a doubting jws wants to see,apostates who love themselves.
Of course, because we wouldn't want any of the refugees to actually think it is okay to LOVE THEMSELVES. That would most certainly be narcissistic. For that matter, if they actually think more of themselves than necessary, they may leave the KHall. Oh, wait, isn't that what they are trying to do? Wait a minute, I'm confused now. What is the mission?
What do you think?
Since you asked...I think that laying honey traps to draw people in reminds me of another group... I think the people here have worried and fretted and anqushed over how others view them for too much of their lives. They've lived under judgemental eyes, questioning their every move. I think they became tired of being Ambassadors to ANY group with all actions under public scrutiny. I think it is unfair to ask any of them to "properly" represent JWN, and to avoid bringing "reproach" on the board, for fear that "interested ones" may be turned off. Please. They found this site on their own. I, for one, will give them MUCH MORE trust and CREDIT than the WT did. I would choose not to shield them, but expose them, and in doing so, help them make up their own mind.
I think this was a strong post from someone so new--however this is the board I found this week. If I had found a mini K hall, I would have bolted.
