  i just checked twitter and the story is picking up tremendously there.. many people only get their news from twitter now.. i encourage you to use twitter, you can do this anonymously.. rt (return the stories) get familiar with twitter if you are not already.. it's a wonderful format for spreading the news.. many activist will see this and spread the story that have many followers.... the time to do this is now, before the story gets too old.

  "We should all agree a hash tag. How about #JWscandal ? Then it could really trend."

  #JWscandal is a great hashtag. I think #JW is also good for any JW related tweet. It's very short so there will usually be room for other hashtags too.

  I think the best phrase for a trending topic would be Jehovah's Witnesses. There are already a lot of tweets with that phrase, so it might be possible to have it show up on Twitter as a trending topic. If it becomes an official trending topic, it could really explode. (I don't know how hard it is to do that, but if we work together it might be possible.) We can still use hashtags along with the phrase Jehovah's Witnesses so that people can click on it and see the other tweets with that hashtag.

  I've been trying to do my part. It's not hard to retweet other stories if you don't feel like composing your own tweet.

  It might be fun to try to organise a time to get Jehovah's Witnesses to be a trending topic and talk about the lawsuit, Sparlock and anything else that is interesting. I noticed that a lot of people mention Jehovah's Witnesses when they get woken up on Saturday morning, so that might be a good time to do it.

  We could schedule some tweets for Saturday morning and also send messages to those who are complaining about the Witnesses waking them up. We could mention articles about how to get on their do not call list or start a petition asking Jehovah's Witnesses to stop sending sexual predators to people's doors.

  It's hard to keep up with all the news. Just one of these news articles would normally keep us talking for months. It will take some time to comprehend the impact of all this coverage.

  Sparlock was a wonderful present to apostates for the Watchtower Society. It isn't polite for them to ask for it back.

  "We could get it trending on Twitter maybe...we could at least try?"

  I'm starting to see some tweets with the hashtag #WatchtowerLawsuit.

  I also found this blog post http://www.atheistgeeknews.com/the-biggest-news-since-sparlock-oakland-jury-holds-jehovah-witnesses-responsible-for-sexual-abuse-of-fremont-child-2629.htm

  I think we should get the word out in any way we can.

  Imagine being a local witness that has contributed a lot of money for the building and maintenance of the kingdom hall and realizing that the hall might have to be sold to pay for this lawsuit. I think there will be a lot of Witnesses upset over this.

  Hutterites Shunned for education and high school sports

  by puffthedragon in

  i have never heard of this group but i turned on the tv and right now (eastern time) there is a show on national geographic called american colony/hutterites and they are shunning members for allowing their children to have more education than they deem neccessary as well as playing school sports.

  the group also appears to think they are the only ones going to heaven.. anyone know more about this or have experience with them?

  struck a chord with me..

  I used to live near some Hutterite colonies. They had some fantastic bake sales. They weren't very good sales people. They would just smile slightly as they took your money, but the food was so good that it didn't really matter.
