This site is for those who adhere
to the faith of Jehovah's Witnesses, whether as a mere student, an
active JW, a disaffected JW, disfellowshipped, dis-associated,
dis-located, or whatever.
- Accounts are a privilege, not an entitlement.
If
you do not share our faith as Jehovah's Witnesses and or belong to a
non-Witness group, you are still allowed to participate on this
Discussion Board, so long as you are not here to undermine our faith as
Jehovah's Witnesses. This includes, but is not limited to, not engaging
in these activities:
Presenting or arguing in favor of views that this site does not represent or condone;
Encouraging
through suggestion, insinuation or otherwise, that others should or
must leave the organization. This includes presenting argumentation
that the Watchtower organization is "Babylon the Great";
Recruiting to other sites or presenting the views of non-Witness individuals and or groups;
While disagreements have and do arise from time to time between board members, we will not tolerate:
personal attacks (insinuated or otherwise),
name-calling,
twisting of words,
or other ploys that some have used in order to create dissension and conflict.
Disagreements are expected to be done respectfully (Note:
saying something like, "I respectfully disagree" does not always excuse
disagreeable choices of wording and may still result in account
suspension, at the discretion of the board owner or his assigned
moderator(s).
This
site will often differ from the "official" Watchtower's position on
Bible prophecy as it relates to Jehovah's Witnesses. This includes the
teachings regarding 1914, the coming of Jesus, the captivity to
Babylon, and similar prophetical views.
However,
that does not mean that the board owner has rejected the accurate
teachings, such as (but not limited to) the New Covenant involving and
being limited to the 144,000 anointed Christians from among mankind,
the heavenly hope of the anointed, an in-gathering to Jehovah's
organization of the "Great Crowd," and similar Bible-based Truths.
Questioning or encouraging others to reject these Bible truths is
disallowed.
Violation of a site policy/guideline may result in one of the following:
Warning (two warnings are allowed, and are accumulative);
Suspension of posting privileges (may or may not be temporary, at the discretion of the board owner)
Banning of user (permanent, at the discretion of the board owner)
Decisions
regarding limiting or prohibiting participation are at the discretion
of the board owner and or his assigned moderator(s). Disputes
concerning decisions must be handled privately, via email. Public
debate and "rallying" others against said decisions are disallowed.
