Does the information on this website look familiar?
by okage into those who mine jw.org for their pdfs, this weblink may look a little familiar:.
http://illustrationstoencourage.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/the-truth-about-halloween/.
i can't recall the official statement from the wts regarding jws making jw sites (jwfacts may have a good knowledge of it), but i was under the impression their official stance was "don't.".

For the Lurkers: You are not alone.
by okage inin the seats of kingdom halls, you wait patiently for the meetings to end so you can escape the lie you've forced yourself to live.
at the conventions you smile at people you grew up with knowing that if they knew how you truly felt, they would leave you with nothing but memories.. you have questions.
you may even have answers.

A rant regarding Gonzalo Campo and Youtube
by okage innews team 10 in san diego reported on campo's actions with that revealing video deposition by campo himself.
by the policies created and ordered by the watchtower society, gonzalo campo was protected as a known serial pedophile and awarded a position of authority and access to children after the fact.. when candace conti's story became public, many active witnesses denied it was even a thing.
others who couldn't deny it sought to blame her and in a personal conversation between myself and a handful of jehovah's witnesses, i learned that there were those among the ranks who believe any nine year old girl is capable of seducing a grown man.

JWs and Earthquakes
by okage inyesterday, my wife's sister shared on facebook a screen capture of people talking about the earthquake in china.
the top of the list was a twitter user saying "is it just me or are these 5.0+ quakes coming more frequently" (paraphrasing).
her response "people are finally seeing what's coming" (not paraphrasing).. initially, this pissed me off because there is no increase in earthquakes.

Need help finding a citation re: You wouldn't go to a Toyota dealer
by okage inokay, online, many jws use the line that if you have a question about a ford, you wouldn't go to a toyota dealer.
they use this to say "only jehovah's witnesses can answer questions about jws.".
i can swear that there is some version of this statement in a watchtower publication.
