New boy.... again again im astounded that our experiences mirrored each other so much, although decades apart. Be it bethel or family i find many similarities. Not surprising of course, countless others shared them as well. Its nice to read these and feel that kinship accross decades and miles.
My ex wife also suggested that i was crazy, bipolar and whole list of other things when i began to separate from the cult. For a brief period i had to actually consider it, although but briefly. In the end rational thought wins out but it seems so strange for those still in to see someone they viewed as a pillar come to the realizations that eventually come.. they dont know how to cope.

“Last thing, I just saw this. Please, just in the future, remember even your own actions on here affect others. Other are all going through horrible tramas and are just trying to cope without being continually abused or judged. Try to come together and give a little more love and a little less public judgements. Everyone is trying.”
if only you could apply that to people still in the cult.

Diog, thats incredibly short sighted and far too simplistic.
Your underlying claim is that you care about the people in a cult not a religion. If thats true then focus on helping the people not an protesting an abstract organization.
You will NEVER change the organization or its policies. EVER. Accept that. In america its refered to as pissing in the wind. The dosent give one damn about a few dumb ass df’d apostates who spend a few min walking in sprinklers. Its moronic and laughable.
If you care about those who might be helped then focus on them and help them. Disrubting the indocrination service dosent help them. It plays into the orgs FOG training.
Do you inderstand that? Your a tool of the org when you behave as they say apostates behave. Repeat that until it sinks in.
Its not about what makes YOU feel better if its about helping other people.

Really heather? The point was to catch the attention of other ex jw’s and get them to talk negatively regarding ex jw protests? In that case congratulations. I offer my further slow claps of mockery to you as well.
if however your point was to get the wt orgs attention and somehow make a difference you and all your ilk failed miserably. Yet again. You made yourselves and all ex jw’s look like weak minded bitter fools who are so disorganized that after 6 years of planning you can only muster a tiny handful to stand in front of hq for 20 min on a date that has zero meaning for anyone in the org or in all of america.
Way to be effective.

No kite, trust and believe that people “disliking” posts that hurt their feelings will continue. Its a badge of honor to have some disagree with you.

Your good at that slim, you’ve been imagining the fall of the wt for years 😂😂😂😂😂
i kid because i love, slim ;)
to the points made by kite, i would think a date surrounding the annual meeting makes a great deal of sense. The day before or the day after, maybe one week later to address ideas dropped at the agm even, any of those makes much more sense in the witness context than 11/5.
I also understand and to some extent agree with the idea that you want to include people who have a signifigant cult experiance but i think anyone who was in the cult or touched by it has a valid cult pov. Consider a single mom who was dragging her kids to the hall. She would never be an elder or ms and because of her responsibilities with children she would likely not pioneer... but she was as devoted as any.
What i suspect you may be alluding too (and forgive me for trying to speak for you) or at least a feeling i have that may be similar, is trying to avoid having people who are loons represent the ex jw movement. You dont want bro or sis fringe jw loon who left the org because they hear voices representing those who left over doctrinal issues or childwelfare concerns etc etc. you want rational well spoken reasonable people to represent those who left for rationale reasonable reasons.
on the matter of dress.... i get that dressing in a dignified (witness like) manner may be more palatable for wintesses but i dont think its necessary. I suspect behavior and attitude would make far more of an impact than dress alone. Fix the big issues and the smaller things like dress wont show glaringly if at all.
i also agree a single issue presentation may be more desirable strictly from a marketing standpoint but you also never know what issue may touch someones heart. Perhaps try to pick a theme and have variations on that. That way you end up with a broad range of issues but centered around a theme that keeps it focused. Think “wt injustice” and signs that center around it, justice for children, justice for those who died before organ transplants etc etc.. You dont want to kill peoples creativity by boxing them in but walk a fine line keeping a focused message to try leave an inpression.
I also think general signs pointing to jw facts or this web site serve a broad purpose and a really good tactic. The internet allows witnesses to explore their doubts in private without worrying about being discovered. Even at that a lot of people here will tell you they went through a huge phase of fear, fear of the desert god striking them down for reading on this web site, fear of being outted etc etc... but the basics on jw facts and the ablity to interact here have been key for a lot of people and simple signs calling attention to these sites mixed in with others would be great.
Theres lots of really good territory to explore on this front.

What would you do for next November 5?
by Faded ini think everything has to start somewhere, and you can see the passion and commitment from those loyal 50 that showed up in warwick yesterday.
the event was not very well organized but you could see the passion & dedication from most of them.
and i think they at least touched a couple of people at the kh yesterday.. having an annual day of action actually inspires me.

Let me also point out a huge and overlooked flaw in the idea of yearly 11/5 protests.. this is an american based religion, both in history and in physical location. November 5 is meaningless to americans. Guy fawks isnt a historical figure we grow up being told about or identify with on any level. A simple and effective way to start would be choosing a more meaningful date
