Hi
I have hoped and prayed fervently that you are really who you claim to be. I honestly say that I am not sure, but I would like to believe it to be true.
I would strongly encourage you to keep posting your thoughts and intentions here on H2O and to keep being very cautious as to your identity and your confidants.
I would just like to comment on what you said about the Society wants to impose with respect to Internet usage. I cannot imagine any way that the sort of 'laws' you suggest can be imposed without bring in a horrible Stazi-type mentality into the congregations.
It is a weak premise and at best the society can keep discouraging and warning - but judicial action? That could only happen if informants were rife.
If what you say is correct, some of the most intelligent people in the Organization, those who work in the IT industry and those who use computers every day of their lives, will be prime suspects. This would probably include a good percentage of elders and ministerial servants.
I cannot see it happening.
But please stay around and continue posting. I know there is anger and frustration, some directed at you. But you have a valuable role to play.
Best wishes
Sincere (still associated with the congregation of Jehpvah's Witnesses, albeit with major reservatons)
