    9/10/02 Edited to change the Subject Title (maybe Midnight Madness Sale wasn't such a good idea!)

    As all of the SL supporters know, things are in HIGH GEAR with the Press Conferences last week, and more to come, the Andersons traveling to Canada for the Boer v. WTS trial which is occurring right now, and B.Bowen going to the UK next week, and the SL March coming up very quickly! Hence, all these things take moola and you can HELP the Silenced Lambs AND the SilentLambs CAUSE to move forward by ORDERING your SILENT LAMBS MEMORABILIA if you haven't done so already. Bill posted this info in his prior thread entitled 30-DAY BULLETIN of 8-27-02 http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=35503&site=3 but I felt it needed some FRESH EXPOSURE. I hope you agree! (Bill did not ask that I repost this. I am doing this of my own accord, FYI). Ordering these items now BEFORE the March does provide a "discounted" ADVANCE PURCHASE PRICE. Got your CHECKBOOK ready? Here we go...

    ----------------------------------------

    PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS & MEMORABILIA

    which say on the front:

    www.silentlambs.org

    These are available for those who wish to wear them at the March.
    Bill needs to know in advance how many to bring, so please order early.
    Advance Purchase Price: $10 each. X-Large Size Only.

    REGULAR silentlambs T-SHIRTS:

    "Tiny" silentlambs logo on the left chest and a larger picture on the back.
    Price: $12 each. X-Large Size Only.

    "PROTEST" T-SHIRTS:

    With the picture featured on webshots and JWD. You can see it here: http://community.webshots.com/photo/47014725/47015823gKkmoh
    Price: $12 each. X-Large Size Only.

    COFFEE MUGS:
    Coffee cups with similar labeling.
    Both will have the Tiny silentlambs mascot pictured on them.
    Advance Purchase Price: $3.50 each.

    THREE OFFICIAL silentlambs BUMPER STICKERS:

    I SUPPORT silentlambs

    PROTECT CHILDREN

    NO MORE silentlambs

    The Bumper Stickers are very professional and feature the Tiny silentlambs logo. Ordering before the March will save on shipping and this will also let us know how many we need to bring.
    Advance Purchase Price: $2.50 each.

    NEW silentlambs LAPEL PIN:
    This pin was designed by a professional jeweler. It features a close-up of Tinys face with a gold X over his mouth. The background around him will be mint green with a gold circle for a border. It will be a ? of an inch circle with "silentlambs" written underneath Tiny." We are cutting it close but they should be ready by the March.
    Advance Purchase Price: $5.00 each.

    COMMEMORATIVE PHOTOS of the SILENTLAMBS MARCH:[/u]
    A Commemorative Set of Photos will be made of the silentlambs March, which will include a selection of 12 pictures from the March. Silentlambs again asks that you please pay in advance and they will be mailed after developing.
    Advance Purchase Price: $10 per set.

    All funds go directly to silentlambs and will help to pay for the March as well as support abuse survivors. Much time and effort went into making these items available. The quality is very high and it will offer many the opportunity to speak out, not only at the March, but anytime they go in public with these materials. The cartoon lamb should make a nice conversation starter and give the wearer an opportunity to explain what silentlambs is all about. To date I have offered no promotional materials in order to focus on the issue of the Watchtower Policy and the Media. Now it is time for those who wish to make their own personal statement and let the public know supporters are in their local community.

    You can place your order in one of several ways:

    1. Via the Visa/Mastercard/PayPal logo on the www.silentlambs.org homepage (top left corner). The "donate" buttons are pre-set at $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, etc. Describe your order in the "Comments" section of the PayPal form. Be sure to include your name, address, and the items you are ordering.

    2. If you have your own PayPal account, you can order from www.paypal.com. Click on the "Send Money" button and address it to: [email protected]. List the items you are ordering, along with your name and address, in the "Comments" section.

    3. You may also send in your order via the US Mail addressed to: silentlambs, P.O. Box 311, Calvert City, KY 42029. Be sure to include your name, address and which items you are ordering.

    4. If you order AFTER the silentlambs March, please include shipping charges (Grits added that request, not B.Bowen).

    Remember this march is for the children, children within Jehovahs Witnesses, those who they meet in field service, those who have been discarded by Watchtower Policy. We all come together to support that end. silentlambs[/b]

    Hi RevMalk: Shopping Cart! Great idea! I'm sure Bill could use all the help he can get. Why not drop him an email to [email protected] and/or [email protected]. He did a previous Help Wanted thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=34913&site=3 --- There were SIX separate Job Departments, and the one (I think) which may be what you are offering/describing would be where Bill wrote:

    Internet Coordinator (and 2 Assistant IC's)
    1.Development of website related material and information.
    2.Promotion of website on the internet.
    3.Updating and adding material to website.
    4.Responsible to train assistants how to do your job.

    The other FIVE Department Titles were:
    1. Media Relations Coordinator (and 2 assistants)
    2. Merchandising Coordinator (and 2 assistants)
    3. Advocate Support Coordinator (and 2 assistants)
    4. Financial Coordinator (and 2 assistants)
    5. Convention Coordinator (and 2 assistants)

    Thanks Rev!
    Grits

    PS: Rev: I just sent a copy of your post to BB. FYI.

    Another Topic was started today entitled "Stuffed Lambs" and Derrick had some great merchandising ideas: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=36386&page=1&site=3#490565 Derrick wrote:

    I think the only way for the message to get across is for these stuffed toys to be manufactured of the highest quality and cuteloveabledesignto the point they are consideredcollectible toys. The label could ambiguously read "Made in the USA by SilentLambs.com - visit our web site today."

    That way the toys could make it to such mass media as "Home Shopping Network" on satellite television and other major distribution channels on their own merit -- allowing sponsors to subtly mention that buying one of these collectible toys has a bonus of supporting awareness of a good cause. Prevention of child abuse could be briefly mentioned with the encouragement of those buying the stuffed toy lamb to visit the web site on its label to find out more about efforts to stop child abuse in religions such as Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Done in this subtle manner it has lasting public relations value, and makes itrisky for elders to stop JWs from owning one. (Criticizing a JW for owning onewould send a publicmessage that JWsare fanaticallyagainst efforts to stop child abuse to the pointofpersecutingJWswho own anything that resembles a lamb's image. The Society's P.R. department wants to distance itself from stereotypical association with fanatical religious groups, and likely would advise against going to the extreme of preventing JWs from owning a widely distributed collectible toy.)
