Upon further review let me clarify: its lazy and a bit untoward to start a go fund me style page for writing a book (just write it) however the initial levels of supprt are not what makes him slimy. They are basically just preorders and him promising to autograph your copy. Thats fair enough, a preorder and a signed copy for 10 bucks. The slimy part is the 150 for MAYBE getting your story in the book and, at best, one direct quote. What a damn troll trying to take advantage of a group of people whom he know dont feel as if they have their voices heard. Hes essentially saying “i will make sure your voice is heard!.... for a price”. Reminds me of every religious leader in history, promising to make sure god hears you... for a price... and only through him can you be heard.
Cedars, a very special “fuck you”, from me to you.

Freddo, if any good came of the ARC it was people being able to give voice to their abuse and perhaps help someone else do the same or maybe prevent it from happening to someone else in some way, and in that regard it was certainly worthwhile, without any qualification.
Some seem to feel that the ARC would prompt major changes in the cult, and i can bump at least 5 threads that support that view. From that perspective the ARC was and remains a toothless dog. Unless the jw’s are mandiated to change they simply will not. The ARC had no legal authority to force change and so no change will happen. Toothless.

What stan said, x2.
As i said when the ARC kicked off forever ago, its a toothless dog. Anything the arc writes or wrote is utterly unenforceable and will drive zero change in the org. I hope everyone feels better for having done it.

Dont sweat the venting, a lot of us have been there. Marriage in jw land is a trap. If its bad your left with zero options, in their eyes, except to cheat and seek a divorce. Its crazy.
Try to take a step back and give yourself room. You can absolutely divorce and be ok in your own eyes, when your ready. You dont have to decide anything today. Breath easy and take in a little freedom, try to see things objectivly and reach out to us here. Many will be happy to talk and listen. Your not the first or last to go through this and get some needed support :)

It wont affect anything. So called net neutrality rules were put in place just two years ago and the interwebs were awesome before them. Also bear in mind the fcc has specifically called on congress to make laws regarding the same issues the net neutrality regulations addressed.
This is essentially an argument between philosophies, law making vs regulating under existing frame work. Im a libertarian leaning type of guy and prefer less government over more. Show me an abuse that needs to be addressed and we can talk , but the so called net neutrality laws werent addressing any abuse.
