Why is there a website where Jehovah's witnesses can meet and date if they are constantly cautioned against the dangers of the internet The website is wwwjwfriendsnet?

This is because many Jehovah's Witnesses realize each person has his/her own conscience and Christian freedom allows each to exercise it. The counsel in Watchtower literature is of human origin and shouldn't be considered to bear any more weight than other advice we'd get from human origin. Any Jehovah's Witnesses who consider the Watchtower to be "the mouth of God" are delusional and spreading false beliefs. Additionally, there are more than one of these websites and I met my wife on one.
