Minimums - What Has He Done?
Played the Devil's Advocate, even if accidentally. Thank you, red dot, for starting this discussion.

Oops I spelled minimus wrong. That was not intentional.

The goals of AJWRB have changed. I actually don’t know what the whole point of the organization was before I joined it. There was a minimal amount of activism as far as I can tell. Lot’s of informational activism. But as far as actually hitting the pavement, I don’t know how much of that was done.
AJWRB had multiple articles published in The Journal of Medical Ethics and The British Medical Journal. That's no mean feat

If results were measured on changing POLICY of the WT or convincing JW's en masse that something the WT says is wrong then I can't think of much that has gotten results.
You don't eat an elephant all at once, it's one bite at a time.
It would seem to me that the AJWRB has contributed in that those searching the internet whether JW's or studies or family would have wonderful information.
One bite...

Yes, but the time for rhetoric is over. The time for ACTION has begun.
It's easy to sit behind a desk and correspond.
It's NOT EASY to get off your ass and do something. :-))
Will anyone help?

The time for ACTION has begun.
I was thinking about this recently. I am just in the contemplating stage ... wondering about organizing a blood drive, perhaps sending letters to local churches trying to get them involved ... explaining briefly the one-sided us against them mentality of the JW faith, the only true Christians, the only group that shows Christian love ... explaining the dilemna about no blood but fractions okay but can not donate ... and a great way to crack through the ice is to show love to the JW by donating blood ...
I think if you could get pastors of different religions to understand what effect showing love to a JW can have on their mind some may be willing to join in. Even the effect of atheists who show love in such a way. Unconditional love by "worldly" people shown toward JW's can be a powerful disruption of the cult hold.
But I will take the first step this week by going to the local hospital's red cross center and donate blood and I will send in the card from AJWRB.

As Zen says, the goals have changed. I understand and respect that.
At the same time though, I don't remember professional level access to MedLine, PubMed, etc. as being free and I do remember a gazillion trips both to the University library and in finding physicians friendly enough to answer questions.

I don't see on their site where they say their mission is to change the mind of the zombies. It says a bunch of other goals.
