**MUST READ** AlanF's email to Knocking.org
by sf inthis is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.
alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.
however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.

Update on Alan Feuerbacher's heart attack that he had last Sunday
by AndersonsInfo inalan'swife, julie, talked to the cardiologist this morning.
the news about alan's heart is good.
he described the heart attack as mild and said that although there is damage to the lower portion of his heart, the pumping action probably won't be affected much.

Thanks for posting your notes! Sorry you had to be there. ;-) I get to go myself in a few weeks...yay!! Did it sound like a manuscript talk? I wonder if perhaps it was a liberal soul that snuck in some of his own thoughts...hmmm. I'll be looking for that one.

Looking for Candice Conti Video Interview
by dontplaceliterature in@ barbara anderson or anyone else who knows.... is there going to be a video interview sometime?
i thought i saw it mentioned on another thread, but haven't seen anything.
with all the other molestation scandles receiving video coverage lately, you would think this would also get a nod.

Wouldn't that be awesome...a 1 hr prome time special on the 'secret world of Jehovah's Witnesses' (something dramatic like that anyway)
Someone has to expose the instructions in the elders book (or crap written in the margins) about calling the legal dept from a payphone.
We need an ex JW with some good media connections!!

so happy he won't face charges for accidentally killing a sick freek who would molest a child. I think any normal father would have reacted the same.

...unfortunately, the only reply I got was an auto generated 'out of office'. Not too surprised though. I still sent another one to them with an update on the lawsuit. oh well...not like I expected them to write a scathing article during DC time.

Thank-you everyone. I hope I get a response from one of them...I sent it to two editors, and the religion writer. So we will see. First time I have done something like this. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I can't give you my name, for fear of it leaking and me losing my family. That sounds dramatic, but that is what I live with being a 'Jehovah's Witness' who does not believe the doctrine anymore. I am not free to just leave, or express my thoughts without being branded an "apostate" by the organization. I would lose my friends and family.
I am wrinting this because every year around convention time, the post writes a "flowery" article about the District Convention. I wanted to briefly explain to you that many believe the Watchtower Society to be a cult. That is what I now believe. No doubt your photographer will take pictures of smiling, "happy" people. However many are like me, no longer believing, but held hostage due to the threat of disfelloshiping (or shunning), simply for not agreeing with the "governing body" (group of older men in NYC who direct the organization)
I invite you to view the following website, which is written by a fellow former JW. He very eloquantly explains the flaws and problems within the organization. He also presents many scandals that have played out over the years, scandals that would shake most JWs to the core, however being raised a JW, we are constantly discouraged from doing any outside research about the religion. Anything bad that is presented is spoken of as "lies from Satan". It is truely a strange religion...now I can look back and see the craziness of it all. I hope you take about 15 min to look at the link below and maybe do some added reasearch before presenting your next article this summer.
If you see me at the arena, I will be one of the ones smiling, like I am happy to be there. There are many more like me who are also trapped.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
Sincerely
TD
