Sounds like a winner to me - "How about a virtual memorial garden?"
But who know what'll open up after the SilentLamb march - Could be the start of something BIG!

8Need Suggestions: WT Victims' Memorial Garden
by Scully inhttp://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=36257&page=1&site=3#488822 .
i posted an idea on this thread last night.. i thought it would be a very worthy cause to open a memorial garden or park for anyone who was a victim of wts policy on blood/organ transplants.
the more i thought about this, the more i realized the potential to open this up to people who lost a family member to suicide as a result of shunning/dfing, and even to survivors of wts policy on child sexual abuse.. a memory garden would give the family a place to visit in peaceful surroundings to remember their loved one.

Silent Lambs PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
by abbagail in9/10/02 edited to change the subject title (maybe midnight madness sale wasn't such a good idea!
as all of the sl supporters know, things are in high gear with the press conferences last week, and more to come, the andersons traveling to canada for the boer v. wts trial which is occurring right now, and b.bowen going to the uk next week, and the sl march coming up very quickly!
hence, all these things take moola and you can help the silenced lambs and the silentlambs cause to move forward by ordering your silent lambs memorabilia if you haven't done so already.

Those 'Mean' JW's
by Larry inremember when elders took pride in dfing someone - like they got a notch on their judgmental belt of righteousness?.
remember when parents would brag about kicking their kids out if they did want to serve jah or if the kid got dfd and the father didnt want to lose his position in the k-hall and threw the kid out?.
remember when catastrophes would happen to other people/nations and jws would laugh about it and consider it just part of the last days?.

Brainwashing - Definitely!
I know when I was in the BORG I felt like those 'mean' JW's, but once I left my heart opened to the world. As I sometimes say when asked why I left the BORG "My love for people outgrew the love the BORG taught me to have."
Actually, it's not even about religion, the behavior has more to do with their lack of self esteem, etc. Be that as it may, it still doesn't excuse their 'mean' behavior. True, each congregation is different, but the few examples cited could all be backed up by personal experiences and quotes from the BORG's publications.
Let me just add -
Remember how the JW's would be happy to talk about the 99% of the worlds population dying at Armageddon?Remember how JWs would talk about occupying peoples homes after Armageddon?
Remember when we thought Ray Franz was crazy?
If you were an Elder, remember when we wanted to Dfd someone and couldnt do it, unless we resorted to trickery, trying to trick them into admitting something?
I remember when we heard that a sister went to another church. We were burning with anger that she could visit Babylon the Great, so we decided if we could get her to confess that she went to another church we can dfd her for apostasy. We got her to admit it, and ask if she would stop. She said she didnt know and for us to do what we had to do. So we did - We Dfd her. But keep in mind we went into that meeting with a preconceived verdict. Yes, guilty before pronounced guilty. In fact, one of the Elders said, it wasn't good to have these type of people in Jah's organization.
To piggyback on Mins comments - Remember how Elders would follow people and camp out in their cars all night looking for evidence to Dfd folks.
Remember when someone would write a letter to the BOE complaining about an Elder and instead of the BOE investigating the claims/charges they would condemn the person for writing the letter?
This place is about expressing your hurt and pain, and it hurts me that I had that mentality. Sometimes writing about it helps.

Remember when some one got Dfd and the JWs would relish in the thought that the Dfd JW would not be doing so well? Or when the Dfd JW would be doing good and the JW would say "Yeah, but they dont have Jah holy spirit."
Remember when a JW would brag about dropping a study due to lack of process?
Remember when the JWs would gleam with joy when they talked about the Catholic Churchs scandals.
Oh yes, you gotta love those 'Mean JWs.'
