LOL at caveman - ooo sneaky! - that'd up the paranoia a notch or three. A possible excuse for the blues brother too.
I once stuck a bumper sticker on my pioneer partner's car and he was the laughing stock of the congregation before he noticed the "Lotto" sticker (he didn't believe in washing his car so it got a lot of attention).
Well it was a provocative topic title but it was meant to be and, apart from a single jokey response, no-one seriously advocated violence against property or person. But I posted this because I wondered how motivated some of us need to be to actually take any kind of action at all!
Danny campaigns against the Watchtower in his own unique and strident way and I for one am glad to have him on our team. Randy's approach is different and I have to thank him for freeing my mind. Studious individuals like Ray Franz, AlanF and Carl Jonsson have laid a factual and well researched bedrock for the rest of us to use and build on.
David, and Quotes built websites that were a more than just a pain in the Watchtowers ass and when the call went out there were posters here who quickly put up the 'mirrors'. Now that's an easy way of being effective and helpful.
Lee Elder and Bill Bowen have chosen single issue campaigns that are close to them and focus their time and energies in a measured and directed way. And of course Simon and Angharad have invested time and money into giving us a voice.
We can't all be a Randy, Danny, Bill, Lee or Barbera but we can all do something. As has been mentioned many times information is the key. I know it's difficult when friends and family are still loyal to the Society but bit by bit it seems we are sharing what we learn and we are having an effect. Congregations are being merged, numerical increase is slowing and may even slide into reverse within five years if current trends continue.
When a building is on fire people inside run for the exit. We've already started torching the Kingdom Halls.
