I come from a small crappy country in northern europe. Im sad to say that among the resident 'vocal' Ex-JWs there is a good deal who have had visits from God (thats a bad sign in my book), who think satanists run the watchtower, who think there are 'hidden codes' in the images in the WT, who believe the MEPS system can translate between all kinds of languages and this somehow feed to a conspiracy theory, who think accusations of pedophelia and painting all JW elders as borderline pedophiles (or at least some who hide pedophelia) is remotely close to the truth. Many of them seem to belong to small cultish religious organizations.
By far the largest ex-jw website carry many of these things in a semi-sensationalist way with a hopeless design from the last century.
The best info i have found was a guy who plagurized most of Don Camerons book (i hope i am not making a false accusation here, but i really doubt he got permission to translate and post it on his website without making it clear who wrote it) who i think is a russelite. (Don, if you read this i can provide his name and address from the whois record).
Im quite frustrated about this. I think its doing the JWs a giant favor; if i was a journalist i would immediately see that much of the Ex-JW information fit the label propaganda, and that kind of exagerations and mis-representations are very damaging the moment they are disassembled by a WT spokesman who know his doublespeak: Intelligence beat intelligent bullshit, but Intelligent bullshit beat regular bullshit.
Its properly not a very practical idea, but i wish there was a more united 'information on jehovahs witnesses' effort with a clear goal of reaching current JWs and the press, kind of like Anonymous and scientology.
I dont really have any real suggestions to help this problem (im not even sure it can be done), but i would like to ask if other has experienced similar quality problem regarding non-witness material and any comments on what can be done.
Finally i should add that the country i come from is quite secular, and the witness has experienced very bad growth the past 10-20 years; ie. they have lost about 10-15% of their members. I think most new converts are crazy, born-ins or fugatives from other countries who are converted. It should be a good basis for a vocal ex-jw community!
