  PROJECT JERICHO--What are the advantages of a mass exodus?

  by uninformed in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have seen lots of encouragement for us to 'unite' and accomplish something that would set back the wt society, but in such a diverse group as we are, it seems that even though we are together, we are alone.. has anyone thought of the possibility of 'semi' organizing a date certain for a bunch to abandon the organization?

  kind of like the exodus, or someting along those line.

  maybe a loosely organized letter writing campaign.

  Good ideas. It might be interesting to set a date to tie up their phone lines. If we set a time to leave, I think it might be most effective around July or August. They try to get a good peak publishers figure in August and it might be a powerful statement if a lot of people left just before then. I DA'd in August and they still tried to collect a time report for that month. If someone is fading and irregular. August is a good month to not report.

  a few weeks ago she asked if we still believed it was jehovah's organization.

  i hadn't heard from her until this morning.

  i asked her to show me from the bible only where it says that this is j's organization.

  It's kind of a hypothetical situation for me, but I might say something like this:

  I have researched both sides of the pedophilia issue and come to the conclusion that if I remained a Jehovah's Witness, I would be responsible for supporting this abuse. Among other things, I have learned that known pedophiles can be appointed to positions of authority as long as it's only the elders that know about it. (This is in a BOE letter, I can look it up if anybody needs the info.) This is a personal, conscientious decision and it's up to you if you want to do the research or do anything about it.

  I have seen some movies from Denmark and nearby countries. My limited experience is that they can be pretty serious and thought provoking. If a movie was made in the U.S. on the same subject it would probably turn into romantic comedy chic flick where everyone is happy at the end.

  I'm excited. It looks like an excellent movie. There is a real need for the public to become more aware of the JW disfellowshipping and shunning policies. Maybe this movie will help. I hope it will receive good support (assuming it's good) among ex JW's. Perhaps it will help counteract the biased Knocking documentary.

  yes that's right....lovely jiffy lube effed up my engine and it is toast.

  i'm waiting to hear back from the district manager, whom i'm sure i will have to call myself.

  i am anticipating them to fight it, even though a garage has put the blame completely on them.

  I once got an oil change and they caused some body damage. I had to be persistent, but they paid for it.

  Inculcate has a funny rhythm. The word really stands out in the boring boasting sessions.

  I think it's funny how an organisation that claims to be supported by the sovereign of the universe is scared of little blue cartoons.
