  Silent Lambs Advertising Campaign?

  by YYHWH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if dateline decides not to air there program concerning the jw pedophile issue then maybe members of this board and other anti- jw sites could all form a advertising co-op fund and use the funds to buy some air time to bring the issue to light.

  you can actually get air time very cheap through the cable companys,i work for aol/time warner in houston tx and i know for a fact that you can buy a thirty second spot on cable for under $3000.00.. of course it wouldnt have as much impact as dateline but i do believe it would generate some publicity and media attention.. each spot could also include the web site locations for more info.. the fund could be set up as a charity are a non-profit organization.. i think it would be a great way to expose the dubs for what they really are.. lets say for example you could get a thousnad members in the co-op each one committing to a minimium of $25.00 per month that would be enough to run about eight spots a month in eight major citys with an audience of probally over five million viewers.. may sound like a pipe dream but i believe it would be easy to set up and to manage.

  YYHWH,

  Not to totally rain on your parade but at 8 ads per month you would have no ones attention. Typically in the world of advertising if you want the listener / viewers attention you will need them to hear your ad roughly 21 times in one week at a minimum. The next step is to ask when and where you would want those ads run? What quality of production do you want to have for those ads? There are so many more factors that will come into play that your proposal truly becomes an unrealistic prospect unless you find yourself a financial angel with deep pockets.

  And this is all after you've decided what the message is you really want to deliver to the public.

  Hiring a good PR firm with solid media contacts would be a better return on the money. Here you would have someone actively developing the image of your non-profit organiztion in such a way as to possibly get you interviews and additional free expoasure for the issue/s you wish to bring to the publics attention.

  Michael Jackson Wants JW As Nanny

  by Dutchie in

  i am watching the news and it was just reported that michael jackson adopted a biracial baby about three weeks ago.

  he has a nanny for the other two children, but the baby proved to much for one nanny.

  michael told her that she could have a helper with the stipulation that it be one of jehovahs witnesses.

  Damon has been baptized for a bit longer than two years. I had a mutual friend stay with me in NY about 7-8 years ago it seems like now, and Damon was b-tized then. Just very much in and out of the org. over the years.

  Farkel,

  I have to agree with you about prefering sans serif fonts for reading online. I would bet the reason has something to do with the fact that most of the studies for the web and online reading make the claim that your reading speed will improve when a site uses sans serif fonts for their text. It's only in the world of print that serif fonts begin to improve the speed of the reader.

  question for any ex-bethelites....or anyone else who might know.. after serving (aka being slaves) at the brooklyn bethel my sister and brother in law are leaving because she is pregnant.

  im just curious about something.

  how long is it normally in such circumstances before a couple leaves?

  No they won't be covered or helped out by Bethel with any if the ensueing medical costs. Unless things have radically changed in ther last 2 years Bethel self insures only those at Bethel. And even then as a Bethelite you will find yourself picking up part of the tab.

  A question I can't answer...

  by jayhawk1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my soon to be mother-in-law, asked me a question that i can't find an answer to.

  we were talking about my life as a jehovah's witness, and how i don't hate my late father for raising me as one.

  more importantly how i don't blame him but rather blame the religion for my aweful childhood.. her question is, "was there anything i enjoyed about being a jehovah's witness?

  I can't say I hated being a JW while I was one. I had a great social life, friends I really enjoyed. Playing Domino's, grilling out back and having friends over for a drink was just part of the fun.

  As a witness I believed in the bible and I believed that we were the true religion. There are times that I miss that belief, the surety that came with that level of belief.

  We just finished watching the show. I still can't believe it happened.

  I'm overwhelmed with a saddness that hits me from time to time as a result of that day. I lived in that city for nearly two decades of my life. I knew people who worked in those buildings. I knew people who were in those buildings the day they were destroyed. When I think about all those who lost family & friends that day I weep for them.

  I'm also proud of those men and women of the FDNY & NYPD and all those who volunteered in the days and weeks afterward to help the people of NY. I remember wishing I was there and wishing I had something to offer in the way of help.

  While it really is a sad thing to see what the fanatical belief of true believers can cause. I am relieved to see such selflessness and acts of bravery in our fellow man as represented by the volunteers who served in the aftermath of 9/11.
