  excuse me if i ramble...this is hard.

  i have even avoided threads in the past where others have had to go thru this because i didn't want to face it.

  guess i'm a wuss.

  Jehovah's Witnesses / Apostate statistics.....

  ok ok....don't bite at the "apostate" label.

  but recently someone on here told me that disaffected/inactive/d/f jws now must out number jws as a whole.. i (funny enough) disagreed.

  does anyone have proof otherwise?

  alright, alright... I'll reply. Sheesh!

  IMO, there are more ex-Jw's than "active" publishers. However, I would not think there are more ex's than memorial attendees. But, I could be wrong.

  Old Friends from the hall invited us over to their house.....

  ok, so we get a call from some friends who looked up to us as "who to be like".

  we have been on the fade for, well, a long time now, which is quite a contrast because we were the never miss type.

  the last conversation i had with the husband he kind of opened up about how he was having trouble going anymore.

  The Effeminate JW man

  time to pick on the guys!

  i was an adult when i was conned into the corporate cult known as jehovahs witnesses.

  before that time i hung with a rough crowd of guys who carried guns and did bad things to people they didn't like, or who were stupid enough to let these guys know they disliked them.

  ANOTHER CALL TO ACTION: Newspaper ad's?

  by 2escaped lifers in

  i have been thinking about this for a while, and a couple recent events here on the board have solidified my thinking.

  first, seattleniceguy's triumph with the un posting a letter regarding the wts affiliation with the un.

  it just shows that with a little combined effort we can accomplish alot.

  OK, that brings up a good question. How do we need to do the donation thing so that it is transparent and so that no one will think I am a troll and just wanting to pocket everyone's spare change (not that I would mind if everyone here sent me 5 bucks in the mail ).

  But seriously, advertising will take money, and it would need to be done with collected voluntary donations (aaaaarrrrrgggghhhh, did I just say that. Cult training....). How do we structure it so that everyone will feel comfortable donating?

  Any thoughts?
