Yes it would be good to send in to the media, the most important thing is the suppression of free speech, a value that a democracy holds in high regard.

Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society: Do They Practice What They Preach?
by MerryMagdalene inin a word--no!
consider the following perversion of justice and threat to civil liberties:.
the watch tower bible & tract society of canada brought suit against the owner/operator of the popular research website quotes.watchtower.ca, seeking to shut down the site, take the domain name for themselves, force the destructions of the files, and pocket $100,000 damages in addition to legal fees, claiming intent to embarrass and to divert traffic from the official watchtower website.

WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site
by Quotes inin compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".
the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).
my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.

Thank you for your hard research and time you put in to your site.
Surley the WTS must know that to persecute only unites and strengthens peoples. We are global and very strong people here.
May you live well Quotes, your purpose will endure.

Number crunching - the impact of the net
by Lady Lee inyesterday i noticed that there were at least 3 newbies who signed up and posted.
almost every day we have at least 1 new person sign up and post.
that of course doesn't include those who sign up and don't post.. i've read numbers that stated it took so many hours of witnessing to make 1 baptized jw.

The WTS 's fear of the internet
by greendawn inthey pressured their own followers into not setting up websites to promote the jw religion,they have demonised the internet as if on every webpage there is someone ready to destroy the faith of a jw, and they are monitoring websites that are hostile to them to see if they can find ways to legally close them down.
.
why do they fear the net so much if they have the truth as they like to parrot so often?

I can see the new publication this DA will be a software patch, to enable safe use of the internet for all true christians. Any violation of dub law will be sent direct to the WT mainframe and the neccessary action to be taken upon the individual, yes god sees all, but through his FDS.com
(If this comes true, I said it first)

You have a great deal to give to people with your experiences, remember that. If you can, let a bit out at a time and always follow your intuition. Welcome to the board, from a fellow Newbee.

Jihad
by wombat inmy (non-jw) son refuses to talk to any of his jw uncles, aunts and cousins.
his daddy (me) da'd over 30 years ago and has been shunned by the large jw part of his family ever since.. so, in my adult son's words, he had declared jihad on the wtbts and refuses to acknowledge any of them.. he's a successful popular fellow that everyone looks up to.
they will miss him.

I suppose if family can't transcend belief, why would you or your son bother with them? A large part of family do not exist to me also, but thats their choice. Life is great and rich, if they do not understand that "blood is thicker than water" , then may they continue in their mental vacuum, and pursue a world that is never coming, or could exist without the diversity that is "human".
Good fortune to you both!

Depression, Holidays & JW's
by oldflame inwhen you were a witness did you get depressed around the holidays ?
tell me what your feelings were then and now.

Never depressed as I knew (in the sense I had been bought up a JW and knew no different) I wasn t missing out on anything, and when you rationalize christmas like the dubs do, it makes sense. However upon leaving I found the concept intriguing and thus sought to find the real meaning of this event. What I m talking about here is the giving of gifts and goodwill to all part, and I believe I found something of great merit in christmas. That when you give a gift to a person, you must think of what that person may want or need, and to do this you have to think about that person and their likes and dislikes, thus providing a gift to be pleasing to them. It makes you think of people. And I find thats the meaning of christmas, you make time for those you cherish or are close to you, when otherwise its hard to find the time for such. This is my 5 th christmas this year and I m over all my slight hang ups I had about it. Its a good time to realise that its those that mean the most to you, desreve your thoughts.
By the way did I mention Saturnalia?
