    Some of what I have recieved I cannot post here. That part I cannot post is alot of bantering back and forth at a private JW message board......I do not get all the posters responses to my email address.

    But there is a big deal going on with a posters response to the story, agreeing with the email I sent out. Obviously, they are saying the email I sent was from an apostate so since he agreed with some of it, he asked the board if they thought he was apostate too? Well, he got slammed big time. And there have been some apologies and the brotherly love crap, yadda yadda yadda.........I did post some of the replies at another thread which I will post the link here.

    This response is from a long time online JW friend.......I met him online in 1999. I sent him the anonymous email last week with all the others but just now got a response. I don't know what to make of it quite yet. I know he has been through hell in the org, faded away, not sure if he quit believing.....His son pioneers.

    thank you for this 'waste of my time ' email that you have sent me..IM NOT EVEN SURE HOW YOU GOT MY EMAIL.... BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD AND MAYBE ITS TIME YOU DID.what do you really expect! i think im able to make up my own mind and dont need you sending me crap to influence my life..ive dealt with enough in my life i can make up my own mind thanks

    Anyway, this is what he sent me back.

    sigh.. well remember when you send out emails discussing the jw pedophile problem you might email someone who's been abused in the past.

    it might make for more violent reactions.

    PURPS- I don't know how well you know the guy you E-mailed however if he has a background like Cadily Nuts said and was molested himself ( god forbid ) or had dealings this way in his life somehow, it might be the reason he reacted so strongly. Don't take it personally , sounds like he is just frustrated with his life anyway, and this was just one more thing for him. But Purps, you are doing the right thing in sending out anonymous e-mails, keep the good work up , sis ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

    I really hate to think he was molested. It never came up, but that does not mean it could not have happened.

    Here is another response I got today

    Thank you for the information, but how did you get my email? Do we know each other?

    I'm not trying to make excuses for your contact but I can see where an anonymous and perceivably antagonistic e-mail would make them upset. I get ticked when spammers get into my work e-mail and send stuff that doesn't belong there. I often ignore what is sent and focus my hostility on the sender, fwiw. Do you think the response would be different if he realized it came from someone he knew?

    FYI

    The email was a FYI ........not attacking .......but yes I understand what you are saying Rising Eagle.

    People like this are not even people anymore. Don't forget, some will listen.

    "You remind me of the die-hard Catholics who burried their heads in the sand when the first pedophile priests were brought to justice."
