Hey Skipper,dam good post!I`m with you on this one,but I don`t have an answer.Information seems to scare the shit out of them,advertised information would give them a coronary.How do we get the information we already have into the right hands.It has to be a story the rest of the world cares about.For the most part the rest of the world dosen`t care what crazy dubs or x-dubs do,its only important to us.How do we generate public interest.Public interest gets on tv and radio,sells magazines and newspapers.What is it that will get us noticed BIG TIME?Its there,we just have to find it...OUTLAW

I e-mailed the story of Erica Rodriguez to Bill O'Reilly, of the O'Reilly Factor, on Fox news.
He has been covering the Catholic molestation cases on his show.
I figured, "what the heck", he may look into it and decide to discuss it on his show.
I cut and paste the article from the Seattle Times newspaper.
I will send the same e-mail daily. If nothing else, it will bring it too someone's attention at Fox News. Perhaps an assistant who will look into it.

Larc, those are really good suggestions you made. I think that is something worthwhile doing. As I'm a professional book buyer, I will look into the possibility of getting some discounted copies of those books. Any ideas of how many people might want to do what you suggest?
Amazing, yes those lawsuits are really good. I hope we have a positive outcome for this current one to encourage more people to come forward to do the same. People think the Watchtower can't lose, but people used to think the same thing about the Cigarette companies too.
Hi Coffee-Black, nice to see you here and thanks for your input.
Well Scully, Outlaw, and Puffsrule...you guys are with it too. What do you think of this idea?
On this board, I think there are two types of threads that get the most hits, one is the really well thought out and logical debates (which often turn into flame wars) and the Troll's posts. Instead of bemoaning Trolls, maybe the old saying, if you can't beat them...join them might work here.
Imagine the reaction that would happen from either email or snail mail to the "right" people if we turned the tables on the trolls and did it ourselves. I'm not talking about trolling in JW land but in the public eye as a "JW" advocate. Do you think that you could write a letter that looks like it came from a real JW to say some community church leaders, telling them not to believe all the negative publicity about the child sexual abuse in the congregations of JW's and asking him to ask his memembership to boycott the Internet and not to say look at Silent Lambs website! If you did this in the right way, so that you came off as a dub but at the same time stung the minister, I think not only would he pass the letter on to others he would probably read it aloud at his congregation and have everyone check the website! How about an offical looking letter to public officals on Watchtower stationary that demands some actions to be taken that are outrageous? Well you get the idea of DISINFORMATION. After all it is Un-theocratic warfare strategy you know!
Of course this is a practical joke but that leads me to the idea of what really catches the publics attention...humor. Remember awhile back about the lady that got so fed up with the dubs leaving their mags on her door that she went to the local KH, and gave them back during the meeting? That story caught on like wildfire all over the USA.
Hmm, a huge practical joke on the WTS. Any ideas?

The library idea; simple , but could be very effective for some... in congs around here we've been informed over the years as to which libraries had the ray franz books(!) and told not to look or we,d go 'straight out of the truth' (as many did...)as monies are a problem there are always 'free ads' papers that will run as much as you like for nothing, week after week;in the personal colums; it will get spoken about,news about anything 'apostate' always travels very fast, working to promote the subject they are trying to warn about.But it would have to happen simultaniously as otherwise the source could be traced and some who have family still in may want to stay out of view...

IMO, the billboard idea could be done relativity cheaply by one of you apostofest groups going together and spliting the initial and annual expenses.
The key is to put one (or more) up along side major interstates, but in remote locations that are out in the farmlands where annual lease costs for a small billboard are only about $300/year.
A small [4'x16' (2- 4x8 sheets exterior plywood framed on 2 poles)] unlighted painted billboard sized to display nothing but "1-800-WHY-1914" shouldn't cost much over $500 labor/materials, less if some of you apostofest groups would do this as a weekend project.
Passing JWs would pick up on the "1914", while everyone else would be oblivious, which would be important to the farmer-landowner.
OR, find an old conservative farmer that hates JWs, and talk him into allowing placement free.

At the DNC site I've posted a couple of ideas for direct action, if you'd like your idea put there as well just drop me a line. http://www.do-not-call.org/volunteer.htm
Also, I'm not happy with my WARNING leaflet. Englishman is helping out with a revision but of course, the more imput the better. I welcome your suggestions for improving this: http://www.do-not-call.org/WARNING.doc

I'm happy to see the great ideas presented here and in chat. Here are a few ideas that just popped up tonight in chat:
1. E-bombing the WTS site with pics of their "Photodrama of Creation"
2. Releasing a computer virus that promises to deliver Armageddon but never delivers (sounds like this has already been done haha)
3. GAWD awful smelling stink bombs that would clear out an assembly hall.
4. Beans had the cool idea of sending the Bethelites a complementary subscription to Playboy (I prefer to send them Hustler magazine myself as this is who they are)LOL...you guys are truly bad association and I love it.

How about letters to the editors cautioning people about pedophiles going door to door? Of course, make brief mention of some JWs being convicted of pedophelia and that they are known to be most active going door to door? DOn't slander any Witnesses, just mention to people to be cautious when answering their doors or letting children answer the door.
If God's Spirit is filling a Kingdom Hall, how is it that Satan can manuever the ones within that Kingdom Hall at the same time?
