  Outlaw,

  I saw your post on the memorial thread, that was very sweet of you, thank you. I agree with you about Rick's approach. I have been handing out flyers in my area and had a good conversation with 2 witnesses who came to my door today to invite me to the memorial. A started a thread about it. We talked for a half hour and never did I put them down in any way. I told them I accept them in the brotherhood of Christ because they do believe in him. But I just felt that they should be in the new convenant and the WT threw them out, that is all. I said it with love, not hate.

  Anyway, I was going to help Rick and bring some flyers up for people to hand out but when my hubby and I talked about it, we both agreed we did not like the spirit in which Rick went about his memorial witnessing, even demonstrating outside the kh. My husband compared it to a hate crime. He did not want me anywhere near Rick or his group when that day came, tonight I guess it is. I also feel demonstrating during a religious event is inappropriate. We may not agree with how they carry it out, but ultimately it is their business how they observe the day. Peace, Lilly

  PC I know what your saying is right.In fact everyone is telling me that the last few days. My Grandson has gone to jail again. EVERYONE is telling me he is OLD ENOUGH to know he must pay for his actions,( just like Rick)BUT!!!!! I want to help get him out!!!!! O.K. I wont !!!!because his Father says "leave him there" I guess I have a screwed up LOVE!!!!! I dont know if you all remember exJW James Aldridge jr.? He murdered some one.& was in jail ,we became good friends ( He was executed in the end.) And used to tell me all the mistakes he made, after the "BROTHERS" ????? Kicked him out > Then he turned "bad" in anger.Which ended up in a gone wrong robbery.Murder.....!!!!! He did come to realize all he SHOULD pay .for....before his execution. He did come to know the REAL truth >Jesus before he died.

  Your love and compassion are beautiful and anyone would be darn lucky to have you in their corner. If Rick's behavior is due to trama from being in the organization, then he should put down his sword, stop swinging it at everything that moves, and go get some counselling for post traumatic stress disorder. He is simply not doing himself, his wife, or the questioning and doubting JW's any good. It became very evident the first time I listened to his conference call that the majority of his followers are emotionally and mentally unstable, bitter, and are willing to go along with any lie as long as it might take a chunk out of the WTS. People who are alike tend to like each other, flock together. It's a psychotic mess in there, lol. I am sorry about your grandson, too.

  This must be the way it was for Catholics when Protestants first started attacking the church.

  Good observation, Terry. I can imagine the Protestants being very raw and emotional during the reformation movement.

  I think he's a potential danger to himself and those around him. He needs counselling.

  I listened to the call again and I think I misheard and you are right it was Johnny who said he spoke to rick during the call. he claims Rick is ok with what was going on. Of course he is, he used it as advertising. As I told you before I am hard of hearing, that is why I sound loud on the call. My phone needs to be turned up to the highest volume for me to hear it. But I did make a mistake, I confused Johnny's voice with Joes.

  So I apologize to Joe for saying that it was him. It was johnny.

  Interesting is that some on the call seem to suggest Johnny is not truthful and maybe in an 'insane asylum". hmmmmm.

  But Rick did lie about not knowing anything about the six screens call until Monday and his own tape proves it. Rick, please post the church call too because on it you ask How it went with johnny when you aleady knew how it went from johnny. This is WHY I felt like it was a set up against me. And the call proves you already had testimony from 2, johnny and shiela about the call BEFORE Monday. And you know what the WT says about "two witnesses"

  Mini when I was in the process of leaving the borg psychologically, I saw most of rick's youtube videos and he came off as very energetic and confident. I thought the protest were very typical of Ex-Jws who are apostates. I don't know when I first listened to his Conference calls or visited his website but non of the later scared me away from apostates. At that point, I knew what I had been raised to believe was no longer the "truth" and I was now willing to explore all criticism against the WT. Rick or his message never scared me because he doesn't seem angry just quirky with his methods against the WT. Now with all the recent events, it has become apparent to me that 1: He is never going to stop with his methods 2: He has thick skin and doesn't mind in ruffling the feathers of people on this board 3: He is allowed to post on this board freely and consistently advertised for his Conf Calls which most on here hate 4: More hate with a vast array of vocabulary has been dished out at him than some of the music artist and sports forums that I visit 5: with all the hate against him, it is quite suprising that this has not insinuated violence against him. This would be like a BOSTON Celtic fan in full gear dancing in front of Staple Center in L.A in broad daylight when there is no game being played 5: There is wide concern in the EX-JW community of being falsely stereotyped by JWs 6: The JW carciature of "apostates" is a fallacy 7: there's a unwritten code by the secret Governing Body of Ex-JWs

  Well put, PC. Giving in to anger and allowing it to rule us solves nothing; that leads only to regret. Recall Matthew 26:51-52:

  And suddenly, one of the followers of Jesus grasped his sword and drew it; he struck the high priest's servant and cut off his ear. Jesus then said, 'Put your sword back, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.'

  I understand being angry about the WT and what it does to people we love. But that same anger comes through so strongly on Six Screens that it obscures the valid things you are trying to say, so the message isn't heard by the very people who need it the most.

  6: The JW carciature of "apostates" is a fallacy

  Explain, please.

  7: there's a unwritten code by the secret Governing Body of Ex-JWs

  You lost me . . .

  5: with all the hate against him, it is quite suprising that this has not insinuated violence against him.

  There are some who have openly expressed their desire to see a chalk outline around Fearon's body, not for his Six Screens persona (which is absolutely nuts), but for personal business dealings, for mischaracterizing other xJW's credible work and message, for various forms of slander, and other character flaws in his personal dealings with individuals that are shady and dishonest. These things will come to light soon.

  I think you might be mischaracterizing what so many on this board are actually expressing, however. Utter disgust is probably closer to the mark. And as for language, pointing out and focussing on the fact that somebody used a four-letter word while expressing their feelings and thoughts is petty, and draws attention away from the issue. It's not childish to use profanity; it's childish to take exception to it and make it the issue.

  I wish this forum had signatures. This would be mine.

  There are probably Satanic Giant Pickle Rituals going on, under Bethel as we speak.
