I think if people actually want to stand there with their signs....let them. Maybe they will reach even just 1 person and it would be worth it. Its not my style, but whatever!

37Apostates protesting conventions = Something I laughed at
by free2beme insorry if there are those apostates here that do this, but you were often the butt of a joke and nothing taken serious.
i personally loved the ones who wore paper bags over their head, as they were often people still afraid of getting in trouble.
it is not like a political rally with people saying "make love, not war.

REVIEW OF JCS "BIG NEWS" ARTICLE
by Oroborus21 innote: the catholic molestation cases have mostly been evaluated under employment law theories not the tort of misrepresentation or under non-fraud related tort claims]; fails to address important legal considerations such as standing and statute of limitations; and finally and most importantly, the essay fails to address in any meaningful way the inevitable constitutional arguments that would be raised by opposing (watchtower) counsel.
supreme court justices do not have the time to browse through law journals and the implication that they would be interested in an essay is even more deceptive.
the society does not cite a 1960 study as evidence that blood transfusions are hazardous.. here is the actual quotation in context:.

I thought the big news was going to make an impact greater than the Dateline story...??? No active JW who is a true believer is going to care, sorry. They will just view it as more persecution from Satan and the world and will feel vindicated. This is quite a let down.

This was funny, I showed up for work 1/2 an hour early, the traffic on 167 was pretty easy, the only slightly tough part was managing the hill down from our house - and almost every one of my employees called out because of the weather? I couldn't believe it, it was what we call a FLURRY in Philadelphia, or even SPRINGTIME!!! Too funny

yeah the internet, and chat forums...I remember those days well... but the comments about no computers and the such, are really silly - there was never anything ever said about that EVER from the stage or IN PRINT.

I only left 3 1/2 years ago, and there was NO RULE AGAINST COMPUTERS... are you guys nuts? Everyone had computers in my congregation (Willow Grove, PA) The articles in the magazines never said anything about it either....possible hard line elders you were dealing with? I only remember the scare tactics about being really careful on the internet.

Elder-speak....How do they manipulate us?
by jgnat incan you help me build a glossary of elder-speak?
you know, those phrases and arguments designed to appease, coerce, or guilt congregation members in to a desired course.
by exposing elder-speak, i hope to reduce the power of the words.

We shall NOT watch how we walk
by mikepence inmy family will not be attending the march.
i respect bill and what he has accomplished, but i believe that attempts to control the march and the marchers, are misplaced -- even damaging for victims of abuse -- who have been controlled enough!.
the last thing victims of abuse need is to be told to keep up appearances.

were charges ever pressed? I don't think they were. Why not? That was the real reason for the donations, way back in 2002 according to this thread. Is Claude Villa a child molester, or is he a victim? That is the real question I think. I respect anyone who has come out of this religion, but looking back on things like this really leaves a bitter taste in my mouth - you sound just like the JW's, just from the other end!
