How about just allowing people to freely go about their own business without having to put up with cowardly anonymous harrassment by someone on the internet who just believes that having a different belief makes someone a fair target?
Please remember to differentiate between JWs and the organization and it's policies. Regular JWs are not the enemy and should not be harrassed just for 'being a JW'.
This phenomenom of people thinking that it's justified to harrass people just for having different beliefs is sickening. There are also new laws being enacted in lots of places to be used against people who use the internet like this.

If you didn't move the category I posted this in, it was under jokes/humor. I guess you're not one for satire / sarcastic comedy.

I chuckled. I think even being in the wrong category, your hyperbole made it clear that this was meant tongue-in-cheek.

JWs are not just a group with different beliefs . They are harmful and
Bloodguilty and their false policies and precedures hide and facilitate child rape

To reply to simons post, assuming this wasn't meant to be a joke I would say that many people are still in or can't be open opposers due to family/shunning/etc. So if somebody really had a way to get local jw's email addresses, doesn't mean they would be harrassing but they may want to just send an open heartfelt message that they can never do if they weren't anonymous because of the reprecussions and the HARRASSMENT THEY would get for having differing beliefs then theirs.

Sorry, i didn't notice the category or read it as being ironic. I just wanted to make sure that the forum wasn't promoting any form of harassment.
Individual JWs have every right to be left alone and not have anyone invading their privacy or their life simply because they are a JW. While we have the right to challenge beliefs and the practices of the organization I don't believe that gives anyone the right to directly challenge individual JWs unless they hold a public position or are involved in some wrong-doing or cover up of it. If they want to engage in discussion then that is their choice but it is wrong for a total stranger with no connection to them to try and force them to.
The majority of regular JWs don't deserve to be harassed or called names in any way. This scattergun approach and constant name calling just looks silly and childish.

We all know from personal experience as JWs that attempts to "educate" active JWs is likely fruitless in 99.9% of cases. The WTS admonishes JWs to pay no heed to unsolicited Apostate™ material, to just toss it out or delete it. They also advocate the idea that unsolicited Apostate™ material is a form of Persecution™, validation that their beliefs are The Truth™.
Why anyone would want to feed those delusions and further entrench someone in the JW belief system is beyond me.
