I think its about time we do something about jws organisation,we must take a stand and not hold back and the more of us that do it the better, otherwise there just going to get away with it in time.We must show these so called christians that we are powerful even if we r a minority.Im up to making a stand by protest at assemblys.congregations etc.
Lets use our freedom of speech!!!!!!!!

I totally agree. If you would like to support victims of the WTS pedophile cover-up check out this event coming up in September:

There are quite a few people doing different things and a lot of scandels are being exposed with more people, (non jws finding about this cult). On the one hand this would bring more media exposure, while at the same time this would take a lot of fore thought and organization. In my opinion we have become a larger number as more people are speaking out and going public of the disturbing effects that the wtbts has had on their lives.
If something like this is to be taken on it has to be united with numbers involved to attract attention, it cannot look like a few disgruntled xjws.
Are you saying that you would be willing to organize such a venture? This would take a lot of balls to accomplish. It should happen all over the world, so that the so-called " world" can see the destructiveness of this cult.
While I do agree with you, how could this be accomplished in order to have the most effect?

Maybe we should have a day declared as "The united XJW day" and all wear our apostate clothing...

I have already been contacted by various organisations who were willing to discuss things futher,to organise this kind of task i could use the internet for advertising,chat groups etc and you r right that large groups make the issue raised much more important instead of just a couple.I would not attempt to do this on a small scale dont you worry about.

Hi Spicy!
Do you mean to the conventions? Do you mean to protest in? I know that would be funny to get a reaction from the jws. AAAAHHGG Apostates!!!
I don`t think the shirts would really be necessary if we had enough in number to make a difference. It would attract attention and the media would then want to know what the hell we are doing. Voila! That would be our opportunity to spill our guts about this organizaions controling so many lives.

witchywoman...
my idea is that we all vote on a single day...and all get T-shirts that say something simple like "proud to be an ex-JW" with maybe a couple of websites listed on the back....and those of us that have many in one area....maybe all get together and invite a news team...
lets see what they do then...
what do you think?
I for one would do it!!!!!

If there is to be a T-shirt I think it should have something everyone can understand, something universal. Happy to be out of the JW CULT. Cult is a nasty word that everyone understands, even those that have never had anything to with jws. Most only see it as an odd religion.
I still don`t think the T-shirts are necessary. Although I wouldn`t mind walking through a convention wearing one. I wonder how long it would take before I would be escorted to the door by an attedant. Hey, can they do that? You just may be on to something.

T-shirts may not be a neccesity but I think that we wore them...if would in a physical sense unite us.
If we are just a group..what sets us apart from any other group.....unless its something that people can see (ie...something we are wearing)
I think the word CULT would be too much...it would put us at their level....I know Simon has had lots of good suggestions for merchandise...maybe we really should narrow it down to a few and vote..
we really could get something started here..Im all for it and would have no problem dropping a few bucks for something that would tell the world..Hey----we are not evil like they want us to believe.
Who is in??????

I guess what I am trying to say is that the only people that know what an apostate is would be jws, or xjws. For the rest of the world to know what an apostae is would take considerable time.
I don`t think cult is too strong of a word to use, it reaches out to people that don`t know what we have been through in an imediate way.
If for instance we could unite, say the T-shirts, say protests, and the word apostate could become a household word, then yes. That means we would become united as apostates as an organization to bring attention to the wtbts in a way they never imagined.
