The money from selling these will likely go to pay the settlements with the 16 victims of JW pedophiles. The settlement was announced May 10, 2007; see Associated Press reports.

How Can We Reach Witnesses who Won't Believe Child Abuse Allegations?

by flipper in

as you all know , gawd, a lot has happened in the last year.

the sixteen child abuse settlements in california.

now we have a perpetrator of this crime let back on the loose in great britain.

Common sense says they know it's true that molesters are among those going to preach door to door, but they throw up these verbal denials as a way to fend off something that would send them out of the organization with resulting loss of JW friends, family and business associates.

So though you think it's a matter of convincing them, in a lot of cases it isn't. Therefore, the question is actually more of how can you motivate them, since they will at least nomimally be continuing as JWs, to stop donating their money, potentially offering to die from lack of blood transfusions etc?

The answer is to number one remind them that if they are going to be in it they don't have to donate money, time or energy; and two, since they are Bible scriptures conditioned, to get counteracting Bible scriptures that overturn the mistaught scriptures.

For example Acts 15:20 says "abtain" from blood but 1 Samuel 14:32-35 says Saul's army ate unbled meat to keep from starving to death and just had to build an altar to show they regretted having had to break the then existing Mosaic Law against blood use in order to stay alive, and they were forgiven.
