I have an old well used black one that I use for reference now so I will take that. I plan to take a few (a lot) of business cards with silentlambs website on it to discretely leave around the stadium.
I understand I have to take my own food too - that they don't provide any food at all any more Right?
some one asked: .
>>i don't understand.
i honestly do not understand how active jws can be presented with hundreds upon hundreds of cases that have occurred all over the world, and casually deny that there is any problem.<<.
Think about what so many gave up to join or stay in this WTS.
To sacrifice so much and then find out you were lied to is beyond what many people are capable of. The pain is too great - cognitive dissonance will cover it up and keep them oblivious

Thanks Blondie - that is exactly what i need to know
Will they hand out a book to anyone in line or will everyone need an ID badge?
Can I expect to be followed if I don't have a badge? What if I carry my old Bible?
I know they don't take money anymore for the books - what do they do instead?

Does anyone know when the books are released - which talks?
And do they still have a literature counter where you can pick up stuff?

GRITS being split for a while is part of the process - It goes away after a while -- faster if you hang out here.
ill tell you my best experience in my belief was being totally drunk at my mates wedding surrounded by jehovahs witnesses who were trying to talk to me even though i didnt want to talk to them (and they were the ones who ignored me at meetings lol)and all i could do is smile at them because i couldnt understand what the hell they were speaking about,and i was so happy and they were so offended because i was pis~@d.
My best and worst eh?
Well my best was being there when my friend died. She opted to die at home and hard as I tried to get the elders to encourage some sisters to come to help only 1 showed up once. I was there and held her hand with her flishly sister and was able to help the family shortly after (the family was deaf and needed an interpreter to deal with the medical people who came in) But to be there with her at that moment was one of the most love filled moments in my life (other than having my babies) It was also one of the worst because I was severely criticized by my elder husband for neglecting him and my responsibilities to go to meetings and door to door
My worst was being DFed. I had to talk about my sexual abuse in my marriage and a rape (with all the horrid details) But in the long run this was the best because it got me out

In my family every one of us 5 kids were abused while we were "in" the org. My siblings all left in their teens. I was the only one who stuck it out and I left in my 30's.
My oldest brother was into big time crime. The second brother was into drugs. The thrid is metally ill and my sister is a drug addict. (My mother says I am the one who needs help)
A study here in Canada showed about 95% of addicts and sex trade workers were sexually abused as children. I suspect the incidence is similar in the US

Hmm interesting. My abuser while in the JWs had 3 victims while he was associated with the JWs. He had 3 more victims before he was associated and after he left he married a woman with 2 daughters (I will assume he abused them) and he and his new wife took in foster children - all girls
We know he abused 6 children between the ages of 5 and 12 and I assume he abused another 2 or more children. I suspect he could easily have had 12 victims because the above is just what I know about him which is actually pretty limited
