  in this thread i mentioned having a long chat with an elder last summer.

  i didn't realize i had never posted the story, so here it is.. last summer (when i went to buy my new camera lens) i ran into one of my favorite jws at the photography shop.

  he was buying a camera bag for his new dslr, and i saw him, went up and greeted him, hugged him.

  even if you don't want to be on his show (there's an option to indicate that you don't), please leave your comments to raise awareness with his staff... (if this has been posted already, my apologies).

  have you been brainwashed?.

  Awesome! I wrote to the Dr. Phil show the day after I heard about the elder blowing himself up and the KH asking him to do a show on cults like the JW's. Hopefully some people will write and be willing to participate! Would love to get some very negative press on the JW's!

  Exposure

  it is has been quite disturbing reading all the stories on jwd.

  it is truly sickening.. i am curious if anyone has pursued getting negative tv exposure about the jehovah's witnesses and their practices?.

  for example, submitting an idea to oprah: https://www.oprah.com/plugger/templates/beontheshow.jhtml?action=respond&plugid=b2100004.

  Enough is enough for the Jehovah's Witnesses. Something needs to happen sooner than later because they are out of control and the world needs to know!

  She absolutely needs to know. There must be plenty of ways for her to "find out" about this without you having to tell her directly.

  2012: The Year The Internet Ends

  by What-A-Coincidence in

  http://ipower.ning.com/netneutrality.

  06/01/2008 - every significant internet provider around the globe is currently in talks with access and content providers to transform the internet into a television-like medium: no more freedom, you pay for a small commercial package of sites you can visit and you'll have to pay for seperate subscriptions for every site that's not in the package.

  what can we do?internet providers have realized that the only way to not lose massive amounts of customers over this is to make sure there are no alternatives, that's why all major internet providers are currently making agreements and planning to switch simultaneously somewhere in the year 2012. this is currently all going on under very strict nda's (non-disclosure agreements) because the last thing they want is the masses speaking out against it.
