    One way to make money for the event is book sales. You buy the book (possible consignment) from the publishing company/author (the industry standard would 40% discount) then he/she signs the book.

    I definately think it would be great to be able to organize a "resistance movement" for lack of a better term. Much ggod could come from getting minds together. There are so many out there that are inactive, df'ed, da'd that don't even realize how many more of us are here.

    This is something I've thought about for some time now, if just a few wanted to step up and start an organized entity strictly for helping others move past the cult, I'd back it with everything I had.

    Thanks for your comments! It looks like I already have one professor onboard for whenever we could make this happen...professor of world religion and also psychology. I am hoping I get responses as it would be cool to have some of the people I have emailed already. Anyone have ideas for videos we could or should play?

    Sincerely,

    I am also betting we could do some webcasts for folks here who could not attend. All our classrooms are wired for net access...AND I know of couple XJW geeks who live in these parts..

    What a great idea. It's not like we have something like the internet to talk about the JWs to death.
