I wonder what Pat Condell would say about it.

The brainwashing continues... With emphasis on children. Sick freaks up at bethel.

I've just finished padding my article out with a bit more scripturally-based reasoning designed to explain how nonsensical the whole notion of "toy wizard = being a wizard" is. I rope in scriptures from Deuteronomy and note what God actually said about "sorcerers" in the Old Testament, and how this clearly doesn't apply to a toy in the shape of a wizard. I note the similarities between the pharisees' way of doing things (i.e. "fence around the law") with what the Governing Body is now attempting to do - i.e. micromanage the decisions made by parents respecting their children.
As the article seems to be quite popular, I want to really try to appeal to Witnesses as much as possible. They need to see that this DVD is VERY damaging for their kids.

You could provide a further link for the petition to the government. The only thing is, I don't think Witnesses will dare to sign.
It all needs to get exposed out there in the real non-Witness world.

Following some excellent suggestions by AnnOMaly, I have now been through my article again and toned it down still further. Obviously, there are some things I cannot tone down without making the article toothless - but wherever I can say things in a less bitter or hostile manner I have done so.
We're now on nearly 50 facebook "likes" which is incredible for a JW-related article in my limited experience. Just goes to show, this is REALLY touching a nerve with people, not just me!!

Poor Caleb..he hasn't a chance at a normal life with his obsessive compulsive clean
freak mother and Arnold Schwartzenegger like father. This has to be classed as
a form of abuse. Also the point brough up before about the consequences..good
one. The end result of not listening to your parents is VERY overplayed and
dramatic.
Make me wanna hurl.

These are some ex-JW forums who are now linking in to the article...
