I was just thinking about all the crap Madzay makes for JWs, and I think it would be very good to have some of those Scripture greeting cards they have for writing to JWs. Just with different Scriptures than they use now.
What do you think? Could we get some Madzay stuff that would help wake up JWs? If so, what would you want them to make?
good question ...how about a deck of cards with thought provoking questions ...such as..
- has the WTS ever been a member of the UN?
- would Jesus understand the WTS blood policy?
- where in the bible does it say you you report any time?
- what is the main attributes of a cult?
- etc, etc...may put questions in their heads ...questions could lead to real answers later...
How about a post card featuring a group shot of the Governing Body? Underneath would be this caption...
"Do not put your trust in nobles...to whom no salvation belongs."-Psalm 146:3, 4
HOW ABOUT A DECK OF PLAYING CARDS WITH PICTURES OF KNOWN JW PEDOPHILES ON EACH CARD! YOU KNOW, LIKE THE IRAC PLAYING CARDS ISSUED TO SOLDIERS.

How about a JW retro calendar having old assembly themes or great quotes as:
"Millions now living will never die!"
"Religion is a snare and a racket!"
"Deliverance is at hand!"
Good ideas! I especially like Confession's suggestion.
That has bothered me for a long time. On the one hand JWs are told not to trust nobles nor earthling men, and on the other hand they are told to have implicit confidence in them as the only means through which they can attain to salvation.
Outaservice, proandcon, and onesong, your ideas are cool, too. proandcon, I can picture a trivia game like their Bible characters cards.
Example:
1. Joined the UN Department of Public Information for 10 years between 1991 and 2001
2. Collects unannounced monies from its larger gatherings
3. Claims its publications are uninspired
4. Claims its publications are spirit-directed
5. Claims its publications are fallible
6. Claims its publications are communicating "the Word of God"
7. W. H. Conley was its first president
8. C. T. Russell was its second president
9. It is now a subsidiary of the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses
10. It is based in Brooklyn, New York, USA
How many Witnesses would guess correctly before Clue #8?

...ok, so it's a bit more than Madzay...but I missed this the first time through and when I saw it tonight, my imagination ran wild...anybody else feeling creative?
(And if anybody can and wants to actually do something with any of these ideas that would be cool!)

My very first real Apostate act -
An Apostate greeting card for dubs -
Am I going to Hell now?
LOL

Merry, that was an incredible list! I can really see some of those things actually being sold somewhere. I especially loved the greeting cards, the apostafest name tags, and Quotes protest T-shirts. Wow!
If some of the pictures/images from the WTS are not copyrighted, they would make some pretty amazing cards. A photo of CT Russell's pyramid grave marker would also be amazing. Wonder what kind of text would be inside!
I looked to see what the madzay company was all about, and read about them a little. They published this excerpt in their "About" section...
Everyone at Madzay Color Graphics, Inc. are Jehovah's Witnesses in good standing in their congregations. All are serving as elders, ministerial servants, pioneers or are wives of elders.
So you know that no apostates or spiritually weak people handled the products. I'll bet everyone is relieved.

That was intense, Matt!--"Who's upstanding in your Kindom Hall bathroom?" wow
Thanks, bebuglad you enjoyed.
