  If you want to read an exciting novel about religious intrigue read the DAVINCI CODE byDan Brown and the one before that is Demons and Angels. He claims he has done a lot of research and it is historically accurate. I talks about the Illuminiti in those books and I strangly did think of the WT when I read them. Some pretty strange stuff in there--don't know how much of it is accurate, but an interesting read non-the-less. On my top 10 books of the year...

  Would You Return To The Organization If You Were Given Total Amnesty?

  if you knew that the policy was that there would be no more witchhunts, no more disfellowshippings or shunning of any kind, would you be tempted to go back?

  I personally would never do the picket thing, but some in other posts brought up that it is something that some might want to do--figure they may as well do it right if they are going to do it and maybe a little insight would help them decide the right approach to take...

  Read a thread related to this subject yesterday, but didn?t respond to it, thought about it more and this is what I came up with...

  For many years I went to large assemblies where apostates were present, but as a well trained JW I avoided them like the plague. I didn?t like the approach of many of them who would stand there shouting at the witnesses when they walked by?they seems a bit radical and at times scary to me?I understand them more now?their frustration and pain, but at the time I saw them very differently. I still don?t think many of them took the right approach?because their anger made them appear unbalanced.

  I do remember one woman (apostate) who stated something like this: The bible says there is one mediator between god and man?Jesus Christ?why then does the WT claim to be your mediator?

  Anyway, I thought about this over the years because it was a true statement. And, in true JW fashion this woman asked a hard hitting question that made me think. In fact, I thought about it over the years every time there was an article or something was said that promoted the idea of the WT being the mediator. You could say her question planted a seed in me, but I couldn?t help it-- I could not deny this was the truth of the matter. It was years later and until just recently that I left the Org. It wasn?t just because of this woman?s singular question, but the many many more questions that formed in my mind over the years from my experiences in the Org.

  So, with all this in mind--and from my experience--I feel the most effective way for any who would think about spreading the word at assemblies or in many other situations for that matter would be to: To be respectful, don?t flounder them with too much information and ask hard hitting to the point questions. You could have handouts with further information for those who want it, but otherwise people who want to will seek their own answers. I think just standing there with individual signs with one question on them that could read something like:

  Why does the WT policy on child molesting protect the molester and not the victim?

  For information go to > www.silentlambs.org

  Why was the WT involved with the United Nations from 1991-2001?

  For more information go to>www.un.org/

  Why were the baptismal questions changed in 1985?

  For more information go to>www.Freeminds.org

  Anyway, this list could go on and on ?

  What other simple questions would you like to put on your sign?

  Puternut,

  I really felt you poured your heart out in your thread--I could feel it--it touched my heart. Can you just copy your part of the thread and send that off to your kids? Tell them it was part of your journal...

  Yes, for those who aren't afraid to put themselves out there it would be interesting to know more life story. We catch it in bits and pieces with the threads and posts, but would be interesting to see more of the broader picture of their lives.

  I read Dansk original thread and didn't feel offended by it--think he was just venting like we all do sometimes--putting the WT leaders to shame..I think many of us feel a lot of compassion for the R&F JWs who are trapped in there for whatever reason: because it is the only life they know, they think it is the right think to do, they are afraid to do anything else because of the consequences, they are in denial, or because they are too weak or mentally ill to think at all. I don't think that many of us feel these are the ones to blame, but I do say shame on the WT leaders and judges who are controlling and misleading those who are looking to them for guidance and direction...
