Letter WRiting campaign
by Cacky inon another board for ex-jws, i stated i'd like to start a mass letter writing campaign.
at first i thought of writing to the united nations human rights council, about the shunning and increasingly bad insinuations and name calling against apostates, but mostly the shunning, and the fact that the org is increasing it's pressure on the r & f to continue and do more shunning if they had been letting that slide.. anyway, on that board, some suggested we write to the media instead, because that way it might get out to the public better, and then other organizations might see what's going on and perhaps take some kind of investigative action agains the org for what it does to anyone who wants to leave, which i believe violates our own freedom of religion, because we are not free to leave their religion without repercussions, and very heavey ones at that.. i also would like, as much as possible, to have our letters date-stamped october 31, just for the irony of that being halloween.
and i'm looking for a name to call our campaign, i was just thinking, halloween hey day.

Your top 5 most irritating doctrines/practices?
by cedars init's clear that virtually everyone on here is infuriated by wt teachings/doctrines/practices, but i would really like to know what is of most concern to people who frequent this forum.. here is my top 5, number 1 being the most significant/infuriating:.
the disfellowshipping practice - expanded to include family members (but not parents) who are old enough to leave home.
wrecks families and creates abject fear once people find out the truth about the organization.the blood issue - another unmerciful teaching, but one that costs lives.unquestioned authority of governing body - a handful of men make life-altering decisions as representatives of a larger group of people who they never see or speak to, and yet they demand unquestioning obedience on pain of being disfellowshipped.failed prophecy - the fulfilment of huge swathes of bible prophecy, including revelation, has been attributed to the events of the early 20th century, and the actions of a small group of men.two-tier christianity - faithful and discreet slave are anointed who go to heaven to whom ransom provisions apply directly, whereas remainder, or "great crowd" stay on earth and form a sub-class, only access benefits of ransom through fds.i realise that many of these issues are inter-related, but that's roughly how i would put them.
