    Please give me feedback if you think I'm doing too much or too little with this idea. There are a lot of us who want to do something to combat the power of the WTS, but don't want to waste our time or get exhausted emotionally. There are a lot of great ideas being discussed, but they don't usually go anywhere. I believe that if some of us can loosely coordinate our efforts with something simple, we might get a better idea of how to accomplish bigger things in the future. Calling the WTS doesn't have to take long. I think it's fine if someone just says something like, "I don't think you should have joined the UN" and then hang up. Others may want to say more.

    I don't want anyone to feel guilted into doing this. I went through a period when I didn't want to hear anything or do anything about Jehovah's Witnesses. I understand if people don't want to get involved. Now, I feel like doing something can be part of my healing process. I no longer have any fear of the WTS, but realise they might have good reason to have some fear of me. I find this to be liberating.

    Maybe a well known and energetic person will step up to lead this or a similar campaign. That would be great, but I don't think it's necessary. We already have a general plan that can be followed easily. Perhaps our strategies will evolve through the collective sharing of ideas. In the meantime, I will try to simply let people know about this opportunity. If enough people start telling me to shut up. I may do so and consider it a lesson learned, but I hope things will turn out differently.

    Count me in. I have always loved controversy, probably because I have always been the cause for controversy in the hall. Some one should script a topic, word for word, kinda like they do with the topic for conversation. get the phone # and let's get this rolling.

    February is coming and there is a new thread on the campaign.

    I suggest that we call the headquarters on the first day of each month or as soon as is convenient afterwards. If you want your comments to be part of a theme, I suggest the topic of the U.N. scandal for February.

    Isn't that a bit Watchtoweresque?

    It is a little bit. I understand the reluctance of engaging in any sort of organised protest after escaping from the Watchtower Society. Still the organisation for this campaign is pretty informal. All we have is a suggested time and theme. If you want to be rebellious or assert your individuality, you can call at a different time or on another subject or not call at all. This is just an opportunity to do something that will be reinforced by others. Some of us want that. Some of us don't.

    LMAO!

    Deeply mired in the JW jargon, DT.

    They don't care about us.

    They are relevant only if you let them be.

    As for their blocking your attempts to make a living, could you elaborate?
