Brother Bill,
Outstanding, simply outstanding. Your picture is next to the definition of "courage of convictions" in my dictionary.
Next problem, Bro Bill may have started a "trend". This is going to be like the movie scene in which one soldier steps forward, and the rest of the company steps forward with him. I forsee many "candidates" for disfellowshiping "hijacking" the meeting, taking the high ground, a tactic that will surely upset the elders and cause many observers to look inward.
Bill, I consider you a great American and WORLD CITIZEN. God bless you and your family in this ritgheous and holy cause.

Radio Program on DFing at 11AM today
by jschwehm injust a reminder.
i will be interviewed on a radio program based out of st. louis, mo at 11am central time about the jws' dfing and shunning policies.
it is a call in show.

i didnt hear the st louis show--but if it got some "numbers" in the st louis market the witness topic should catch on in other radio markets.... talk radio is a really good way to reach a diverse deomographic area and JW scandals like pedo-df-shunning hit a hot button with producers....i know its cold but sex sells... so do human rights abuses...sex and human rights, plus the fact that John Q Public generally dislikes the witnesses---blockbuster...
dont be shy about calling in to your favorite station and bringing up the topic---WLS chicago, KMXO st louis WOR NYC, plus the syncdicated shows are always looking for ratings...plus these markets have high numbers of JW's
just some thoughts---hillbilly

Francois- I was thinking more in terms of finding several test case around the USA... I'm sure that proscecuting several individual elders or BOE's would be effective for the following reasons...
Individual cases would spread the media coverage to multiple markets
Eggs in one basket threory... Class action suits take a long time to settle and if you loose -- Finding several good individual suite increasing the odds of getting a winner...Class action suits seem to loose media attention as they drag on too.
Quality of defence--The WT has the 'guns' to fight one or two 'big' cases... Spreading the cases out against individuals whould keep the WT off balance...They would have to select the cases that have the highest profile and greatest chance to settle out of court or win outright in trial.
The lower profile cases--in my opinion Brooklyn will leave those elders and BOE's twisting in the wind---further demoralization of the R&F would be highly possible.
Remember the NAACP--Brown V Kansas was selected as their battle ground for a reason... they sued several boards locally but they felt Brown was the one to take to the top, so to speak. Using some good stratagy the NAACP got what they wanted, a high profile case that they could win.
We are really just another 'civil action' out there in 'Ceasaers' eyes...At best maybe we can get some legislation that requires abuse reporting in all 50 states and a requirment for all religous councilors to carry malpractice insurnace.. Seems like we should be able to get some help from the ACLU or somebody as many of these cases have a ring of human rights abuses,many of the cased pending seem to have a racketering angle against the WT.
WE have just let Pandora out of the box...let the festivities commence!

Lessons I've learned...
by WildTurkey inlets post lessons we have learned:.
i've learned that no matter how much i care, some people are just assholes.. .
i've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only suspicion, not proof, to destroy it..

among the things that I've learned:
NEVER sign your mind over to anyone as a "blank check".
Forgive and forget limits your insanity...
God really does not let us bear more than we can carry.
Holding a grudge lets the "grudgee" win--The best revenge is living well
Trust is earned ... never be suspicious in a phobic sense but never take everything at face value either...especially if things seem too good to be true.
Be careful of people that want to "help" you, this may sound a little paranoid, but folks with the 'answers' usually have some kind of agenda...make sure that agenda fits your needs too.
Don't let anyone take you past your comfort level....feel things out and go for it if it feels right.
The "Joneses" wont pay your bills...screw keeping up with them...
Always and never are to powerful words..use them sparingly.
You can usually get more stuff , people are hard to came by.Yes means yes and No means NO--the problem is learning to say NO ...it's easy N-O.... NO will keep you in the shallow end of the pool till your ready....
If you buy cattle at .75 the market will drop to .60 as soon as you fill the feed bins....
The horse you just "stole" at the auction--the drugs always wear off on the trailer ride home...
We need sombody but try not to be "needy"
Mean people suk...
Well these are some of the things that I've learned.....a little hillbilly logic.
