#mentallydiseased on Twitter

DT

There are a lot of comments on Twitter about the media coverage of the Watchtower article calling apostates mentally diseased. Some people are saying that they must be mentally diseased because they left the religion or disagree with their teachings.

A hashtag has been started #mentallydiseased. If you click on it you can see the other comments with that hashtag. Feel free to use it in your comments or links to the news items on Twitter. We could have a lot of fun with this and really spread awareness. I'm sure there are a lot of of nonwitnesses who would like to make their own comments with this hashtag when they become aware of this issue.

I don't have Twitter but I'm glad this is getting so much attention. Twitter is great for this stuff.

The tweets are piling up. There is always a chance that this could begin to have a real snowball effect.

Thanks for tweeting purplesofa. I've been tweeting too, but I can't say what Twitter accounts are mine.

It's funny that Jehovah's Witnesses have pretty much Googlebombed themselves. (A Google bomb involves linking to a site with derogatory text (like "crazy cult" for Scientologists) to get that site to rank for that phrase. (Please don't do this to the Watchtower sites because the links might actually help their sites rank somewhat.) However, their hateful speech and the fact that they put the term "mentally diseased" in their version of the Bible has made them closely associated with that term, more than any other religion. Just do a Google search for "mentally diseased" to see what I mean. It's also interesting to do a search for the phrase mentally diseased on Twitter in addition to the hashtag #mentallydiseased.

still thinking
