  I agree that we shouldn't shoot the messenger. It's good to hear what kind of rumors are circulating among the Witnesses.

  I think it's easy for Witnesses to mistake sending take down notices with significant legal action. What I find remarkable is that they seem to have stopped sending these notices. Their first round just caused more videos to be uploaded including parodies and videos with commentaries. If they do a Scientology like attack, I think they realise it can backfire greatly, with a lot of unwanted press coverage. They may occassionally send a take down notice for videos that reach a certain amount of views, but I think they are smart enough to not do more than that.

  I would love to see the Watchtower Society challenge Google in court. The Watchtower's legal team would be grossly outmatched and it would be a PR disaster.

  I think it is a little premature to start removing videos. We don't have any confirmation yet and removing them wouldn't get rid of the legal liability (if there is any to begin with).

  PZ Myers has posted about Sparlock!!!

  i wrote a letter to pz myers about the sparlock vid and asked all of my ex-jw pals to do the same if they had a few moments.

  and he posted about it!.

  pz myers is huge in the skeptic/atheist community, so the vid is spreading to non-jws as well.

  "I wouldn't want to be the dub who came up with this Sparlock idea."

  I can't believe they provided such a nice closeup for us to use. It appears that someone spent a lot of time designing Sparlock.

  This is great news. Thanks for helping to make this happen. This could really make it more likely that it will get exposure in the mainstream media. We should try to give it as many likes and tweets as possible.

  I see that Pharyngula has picked up the story http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/06/05/episode-cccxxxv-the-sparlock-thread/

  Can any one add that to the list of references? I know it is a very popular site. Now it's probably only a matter of time before other reputable sites pick up the story. There are also some news stories about the 2012 District Convention that might make appropriate references.

  I was wondering if this passage, "Also, many elements of the entire video perpetuate outdated sexual stereotypes and manipulative, coercive child rearing techniques." should be changed to something more like this, "Also, some critics have suggested that certain elements of the video perpetuate outdated sexual stereotypes and manipulative, coercive child rearing techniques." to make it sound more nuetral.

  ok, this one is a little long, but i think it's worth reading.

  in putting this together, i came across a fair amount of interesting information about the witnesses and their belief in demons.

  there's a lot that i'll be interested to put to the next witness i come acoss (if any of them still quite dare to talk to me after last time.

  Good article. It's crazy the way the Watchtower Society tried to use fear to control us. I recently came across a blog post that discusses this in relation to the Sparlock video. http://junkdrawerofthought.blogspot.com/2012/06/this-is-sparlock.html
