Curious? J.W.'s not permitted to post here?

In general.
Does the Governing Body discourage J.W. members from posting on religious sites
like this one.
If posting here is discouraged then why?
I think J.W.'s posting here would be a great way to explain J.W. doctrine and dogma.
My mother was a J.W. but disfellowshipped for her alcoholism. It would have been more
Christian if the elders of the J.W. congregation would have offered here HELP instead of
booting her out so she could die. She did die.
My dearest 1st cousin is a J.W.
Sadly he lives 1300 miles away and I can't readily converse with him.
Humph! If there are no J.W.'s here then who can answer me post????

JWs were commanded by their overlords not to tread in places such as RF, which is why our JW members all vanished around the same time.

I like to know too.

There's a few who still post here, that I can think of: @Hockeycowboy, @rusra02, @Deeje

I think..As I posted before..

The gospel words of Christ 1776: NT and OT well see how then it works out. For example Introvert and extrovert of religions. Bene Ephraim Introvet & converts/experiment under the some of the same principles: Bene Ephraim in india experimental jew town. Mormons introvert & converts/experiment under some of the same principles that islam does. Mormon in Utah experimental "muslim" town.
Ahmadiyyas extrovert prophets for nations (noah and laws)(jihad can be inner though just they get orders) converts/experiment under the same principles of a new messiah on earth second advent. Second Advent push religions. Ahmadiyyas in British India experimental new messiah on earth. Rastafari introvert prophets (vegan ideas, +(weed, not that bad) (political and social involvements can be outer) converts/experiment under the same principles of a new messiah on earth second advent. Second Advent push religions.
Bahai off shoot of Christianity and islam without the pillars. Extrovert Experimental The independent search after truth, unfettered by superstition or tradition; the oneness of the entire human race,..
Unitarianism Interfaith Christianity and others without the need to believe in Christ. Inclosing Experimental The independent search after truth, unfettered by superstition or tradition; the oneness of the entire human race,..

Its a massive experiment

As for me I started running... that doctor hurt me.

Everything after I first believed okay...
Then after a while it turned in prophets of every religion and new savior ... yawn.... freakin

 

[meghanwaterlillies]

That includes men who stare at goats lol
remember that I pet goat ..
I know for one thing America supposed be bad or ... and if your good or or else!!

 

[Revoltingest]

JWs have posted here.
I had a couple JW friends from move here with me when THC (our old forum) died.
One got banned.
The other seems to have just moved on.

There was an exodus back in July 2015 sadly.

Not too friendly-sounding, sir.

On top of that, it's wrong.

Don't you remember? You've spoken with two of us, at least....me and Deeje!

Something's wrong here.

I happen to be engaged in a very interesting conversation with one of them.

It is, however, approximately what some JWs told the rest of RF. And then they stopped posting.

It's weird; I've read this supposed "command" that "mandated" JWs not use websites like this, but it didn't actually say anything to that extent, but rather urged caution against exposure to certain websites that promote certain ideas (or something like that, I haven't read it since the whole thing happened).
But Mormons do get beat on here on a fairly regular basis.They get mocked, ridiculed, harassed, and I can't blame them.

That wouldn't be the first exodus of them either. They tend to be such wonderful and delightful people, but they have to put up with some nasty comments and hate here. Several years ago, they were even being accused of "running the show" at RF, far worse than the accusations of "liberal mods/preference for liberals by the mods" that occasionally sprout up.

I was a Jehovah's Witness and I remember being warned at convention about the internet. Jehovah's Witness conventions are each year and at them JWs are taught what is right according to the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses and there is no room at convention for any personal opinion.

I am certain that what I heard at convention, which is to stay away from any internet chat, was an order from the governing body. I am not wrong about hearing the warning because even after I left them it was some time before I got the courage up to go onto a forum.

JWs teach that if you will leave them the devil WILL get you.

It has been many years since I walked away from them so what I heard about not being here was not what caused the last bunch of JWs to leave.

That sounds similar to Southern Baptists, where the Devil is always waiting in the shadows and ready to pounce as soon as you let your guard down.

If you don't have a home Dir and are feeling like a Dir ought to exist, you should inquire of Admin. Make a site feedback thread and request to include a JW Sub Dir in an appropriate section -- probably either in New Religious Movements Dir or in Christianity Dir. (I am fairly new here, so I don't know if this has been considered before.)

The rules allow explanations of doctrines in the debate areas, in comparative religion and in interfaith discussion and in your Dir if you have a Dir. You can also start a journal. As long as you are keeping the rules you should be fine discussing JW doctrine.

There is a JW DIR but it's pretty hard to find (if you are non-Christian anyway).

Wow. That's a bit of RF history I knew nothing about. If you'd want to share that would be interesting to hear.

Did you mean to talk both of JWs and Mormons, or was there some sort of mix-up there?
