    If I had the time, I'd rework the tract as a vampire advertisement. You could leave the text almost the same and just change the pictures...

    @sinedide How are you trying to make friends and involve yourself in other activities? What are your hobbies, can you join some clubs and groups that focus on things you enjoy?

    Well when you don't know, you don't know. So it was easy being a JW and there were times of happiness - yes. I was popular, I had many friends and when I left, all that left as well.

    Great description by Billy the Ex: "pre-recorded propagandist lip-sync melodrama"?

    I hate to give the Watchtower good ideas, but they could actually make it a live play and not alienate the Brits so much if they just used body microphones. The "actors" would still be going off a manuscript, but the reduced melodramatic hand-gestures and off-putting accents would be a plus for the JWs.
