-I'm a JW who has been in the org his entire life.

-I never used a computer except at work to place customer orders.

-My wife buys me an 800mhz system from the neighborhood Circuit City store as an anniversary gift. Says I can research my ministry school talks. (?)

-I hook it up, it works (!! yeah !!) and I type Jehovah's Witnesses into the search engine.

-I figure ONLY the words Jehovah's and Witnesses will appear. I want to avoid those pesky apostates on the internet our book study conductor warned about when my wife told him about the gift.

-One of the results of my first search is:

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/

-MULTIPLE CHOICE QUIZ #1

Based on the above scenario *MOST* faithful Jehovah's Witnesses who are "newbies" will look at the url " http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ and naturally conclude one of the following. [Hint: only one true answer.]

(a) http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ must be a web site for Jehovah's Witnesses (because true Jehovah's Witnesses would shun apostates). ___TRUE ___FALSE

(b) http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ must be a web site for Jehovah's Witnesses and opposers (because true Jehovah's Witnesses no longer shun apostates but treat everyone as an equal). ___TRUE ___FALSE

-MULTIPLE CHOICE QUIZ #2

Based on the above scenario *MOST* faithful Jehovah's Witnesses who are "newbies" and visited the url " http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ will naturally conclude one of the following. [Hint: there might be more than one "true" or "false" answer.]

(a) http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ must be a web site for Jehovah's Witnesses (because only true Jehovah's Witnesses NOT apostates are posting on this site). ___TRUE ___FALSE

(b) http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ must be a web site for Jehovah's Witnesses and opposers because many posting are faithful JWs, and there are many more apostates as well. Newcomers who wish to continue being Jehovah's Witnesses conclude they have no choice but to leave immediately because the name of this site is mislabeled. ___TRUE ___FALSE

(c) Many JWs new to the internet who find http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/ while searching for Jehovah's Witnesses-only materials unfortunately conclude that first, they have stumbled into an honey trap set by apostates to ensnare their faith; and second, they may perceive the information in most postings as misleading because they feel mislead by the name of this site. ___TRUE ___FALSE

Note: pay special attention to "many" versus "all" qualifiers in answering "true" or "false" (e.g., if answering "true" to the above (c) multiple choice response, you are stating that "many" (but not necessarily "all") JWs have drawn the aforementioned conclusion.

Rather than drawing personal conclusions at this point, I would like to sit back and see the conclusions from these two simple quizes then respond as appropriate.

Thank you for your time and honest responses.

Who's afraid of the Watchtower? Not Me!

you ought to feel ashamed of letting them take away fear they don't deserve.. now's the time to discover a startling truth those who dared to step into their pit of spiritual punishment have found.

the "pit" of darkness they threaten to push you into is only 2-inches deep with a bottom painted black.

i have walked right across it to the other side.

That's right, you are the brave few who stepped forward by posting. The rest are probably cowering behind their screens in shame for not having the courage to admit their fear.

I suspect many of the rest of you are scared out of your wits at the mere mention of the word Watchtower.

Why have so many let the so-called "Faithful and Discreet Slave Class" become their boogeyman?

I loved my wife so dearly, and once played a prank on her to invoke her beautiful laughter. That prank revealed a side of her that I never knew existed. I peeked through the drapes with knees slightly bent and kind of prancing on my toes (that nervous jumpy posture sort of like when one has to take a pee because they're that nervous). I trembled a little. She walked in the livingroom and immediately said with alarm "what's the matter?" I said with a trembling voice, "you don't want to know, dear." "Tell me!" she insisted. "Alright, honey, all the elders are walking up the walkway to our front door. I have never seen so many elders (my voice trailing off to a whisper)."

She ran down the hallway and into the master bedroom. I went after her and nobody was there, but then I heard a rustling sound in the closet. Behind all the cloths I could see the whites of her eyes peering out. I said something like "oh honey I'm sorry, that was a JOKE! I didn't mean to scare you." I'll never forget her reply, as she whispered "sooner or later they're going to find out about last night." I answered "What? You mean the oral sex? There's no way!"

Then I saw and heard the real face of fear, when she replied "they can see and hear everything."

I shook her gently and said "listen, honey, stop living a life of fear. Fear is the opposite to love. Fear will eventually undermine even the foundations of this marriage if you let it."

Fear won. We separated then divorced a few years later.

Fear of the Watchtower will undermine your marriage if you let it. Face that fear, get back in the saddle, and then honestly examine the Watchtower's teachings unburdened by fear. Use logic, common sense and independent thinking to construct a white water river raft. Put on a life vest constructed of courage.

Then ride the fast and sometimes violent rapids of fear, get soaking wet, scream at the top of your lungs, "whoahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!" Don't feel ashamed if you have the urge to roll on the floor of that giant raft laughing uncontrollably! Don't fear falling out into the water and drowning. Courage is the most buoyant material and that is what your life vest is made of. Concentrate on keeping your head above water, and start dog-paddling to the shore. That loud roar in the distance is just Niagra Falls, no sweat, doesn't bother you a bit! ;-)

The Watchtower incites no fear within me.

Why should it?

How many of You are afraid of the Watchtower? You ought to feel ashamed of letting them take away fear they don't deserve.

Now's the time to discover a startling Truth those who dared to step into their pit of spiritual punishment have found. The "pit" of darkness they threaten to push you into is only 2-inches deep with a bottom painted black. I have walked right across it to the other side. I wasn't defying the laws of physics.

That's right. This "pit" is manmade and was never a real "place" of spiritual darkness where people who defy our elderly granddads are sent by the elders. Nobody is in that "pit" living out the remainder of their lives separated from God.

How many of You honestly have absolutely no fear of "Them"? You ought to feel proud of yourselves, and now's the time to brag about it.

Those in whom the Watchtower incites fear might as well fess up. Take the heat, get over it. Stop hiding behind that glass or plasma window connected to your machine. I can see right through it. And Don't piss me off by lying to me that "I'm not afraid of the big bad wolf dressed as a helpful sheep" if you really are afraid. Because I will then show you that behind the helpful sheep facade isn't a vicious wolf, but a frightened little old man wearing a wolf's costume to scare you into maintaining his retirement on the Farm.
