Tomcast: ‘FUBU’

The AI-generated definition (below) shows what this acronym means. While Tomcast is neither a hip hop apparel company nor does it have a brand, it is FUBU, it is related to a community: Tomcast is for JW’s and by JW’s. What do we mean by that?

JW’s share their personal info on Tomcast so that they, JW’s, can help themselves (perhaps by selling or renting something) and so that they can help other JW’s. (Consider the principle at Galatians 6:10) Hence, Tomcast is FUBU.

True, Tomcast can be accessed by anyone; so, the information found therein is not private. But, for those of us benefitting from the information found here, should we share it with a non-JW? Would you want your personal info shared with a non-JW? (Consider the principle found at Matthew 7:12)

“OK, Brother Hackett - but my daughter - raised as a JW but not [yet] moving in that direction - can really benefit from what Sister So-and-So has in her post!” Understood. But, could you, then, contact Sister So-and-So about her post for your daughter, explaining your dynamic to Sister So-and-So so as to see if that sister is comfortable with you sharing her info with your daughter? [Of course, this is just an example . . .]

C’mon, y’all: does any of this really need to be said? 🙄 Remember that we are directed to “work what is good toward [non-JW’s], but especially to [JW’s].” In other words, when it comes to sharing personal info of our fellow brother and/or sister, they matter more than your non-JW relative.

Thanks.
