    Well done, Jeff!

    If you do take Open Mind's advice to remove the Watchtower buzz words, also consider substituting a word like "sinner" for "worldly". That is less likely to trigger the reflexive Off Switch cults program into their members.

    I hope it will be printed.

    Actually, that is the word that Hassan used on his website, as I recall, so I stuck with it. I think that many cults use that term, not just Jw's. As far as those already entrenched in a cult - well, unfortunately it will not likely have any effect on them anyway. Hell, as far as Jw's go - my utterance of the word 'Hello' is enough for them to cut and run - so if they read it, fine. If not, oh well. It is those about to enter their snare of which I have concern really.

    Well Done Jeff !

    With your permission, as soon as a chance arises to hang this on to a news story,(more likely to be published than just sending it cold), I shall plagiarise your letter and hope to get it published in my local paper.

    Thanks.

    Hopefully it will cause a JW or two to have a light bulb moment. Fingers crossed.
