As long as the Emails are respectful of the host, I know we can get our point of view.
Like other major metro radio markets the average perspm has no exposer or very limited with Jehovah's Witnesses don't have a clue how devistating this is..
I am hoping people don't use this as a personal vendetta or use it to expose Wt doctrinal issues. Let just get the Lambs all the help they can get.
Love

Hi,
I was listeing to WFLA (970 AM) on my way home from work today. It was 5pm est. Schnitt the talk pesonalilty was talking about the Catholic church how horrible it was for them to fille bankruptcy to avoid paying the victims of Child Molestation.
Well you know I just had to call up the show on my cell phone. At 5 in the afternoon, the show is 2/3 over by then. It is on 3pm est afternoon, after Rush Limbaugh show. It is a Conservative Radio Talk Show forum.
I told the producer about a religion which is worse than the Catholic Church. the screener said "the Jehovah's Wintesses," I said yep. He told me to wait and I was second or thrid in line after the news.
I told Schnitt on alot of Silentlambs issues, disfellowshipping, and what peaked his intrest is the database. I told him the BROoKLYN has a database of over 23,000 pedophiles. I told him how the pedophiles are protected and the victims and families are talk are DF. He has a hard time beliveing it there is a Brooklyn Database.
I tried to explain to him how the average Catholic understands there are pedophile Priest. But the avegage JW villianize vicitms and those who speak out.
My call was cut short due to my cell phone signal was lost. I was on for about 2 - 31/2 minutes.
Here is where I need your help XJWS. As many as RESPECTFULLY CAN, can you email the producers of Schnitt show. I don't think the general public knows how bad the problems is. HIs reply is like many of the public who is not aware.
Here is his email address:
Also here is his webpage
http://www.schnittshow.com/main.html
For people in the Tampa Florida area his show is on between 3pm and 6pm est. I passed Bill Bowden on the information hopefully he can get on tommorow. YOu respectful and well in taste emails will pave the way for his call to be more receptive to the producer. Also the phone # fo the show is 800-801-8999 for those who get Clear Channel Communications in theTampa area. Schnitt.also has a national syndicated talk radio show in the morning.
Let's hope with all of us, we can pave the way for the story to get more air time and keep it front. For all the Silentlambs.
In advance I like to thank everyone who emails or wrties.

Reestablishing family ties with non-Witnesses
by cyberguy inas most of you folks know, non-witness family members are treated almost the same way as jw's treat disfellowshipped people.
after leaving the borg, fully or partially, has anyone had good results in reestablishing relationships with non-witnesses family relatives?
i've got over a dozen cousins that i'd like to have a relationship with once again, but i'm not sure the best way to break-the-ice.

Subject: Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Just want to wishyou all a happy and Safe thanksgiving. Spend yourADVERTISEMENT
time with family and loved one.
If you are here and you family is shunning you because you are DF,
you are family here. Just can't serve the turkey on the post.
What is an XJW thankful for on Thanksgiving?
1) JWS trying to pretend they are not celebrating thanksgiving while
cooking a turkey the day before. If you ate turkey on Thanksgiving
you were celebrationg the holiday. I felt this was hypocritical.
2) I don't have to spend the day knocking on people's doors tryting
to sell Watchtowers. I can enjoy my day off.
3) For me no Kingdom Ministry School meeting. Myne was scheduled for
Thursday night.
4) I am thankful for my relationship with Jesus.
5) I am glad I don't have to explain to others at work why I won't be
celebrating thanksgiving.
6) Thankful no long Wt slave!
7) thankful for all the wonderful XJWS friends I have met though my 8
years of ministry.
8) Thankful to Jesus he uses this Egroup for helping XJWS to have a
full relationship with him.
9) I am thankful I have a job which I am gainfully employed. As a JW
I could not take many job beause it was not permitted or required me
to work meeting nights.
10) Today I can celebrate thanksgiving with my non JW family members
and not being absent. I can hold hands and pray with family to thank
God for our blessing, not to sit alone or be with JWS who will talk
about how those in the world are not pleasing to Jehovah by eating
enjoying a thanksgiving feast.
BTW ejoy your Thanksgiving and Hold hand with your families tight and
pray! Remember the days you were not permitted by Wt rules to do
this!
Love,

I just wanted to get an opinion here from EXJWS on the subject. Ministering to them it is a very big issues. It can't be ignored because it is all over. Even those who have no inking for Christianity know about how a Chrisitan is suppose to pay 10%.
I don't think you read we have spoken to our chruch and they still push.
If we confront our leadership with Scriptures suddenly, it becomes a principle not a requirement. What just happened here?
Clash, it is not only TV preachers, minstries but chruches on the local level which push the issue. Many XJWS as you can see don't see it being applied to the Christianity but Part of the Mosiac Law code.
Clash do you think XJWS have a hard time with the subject? I can see they do and for a good reason. Christians tell me being XJWS is to blame I am not understand fully and must trust God. Not the fact we search the scriptures mind you.
Clash, have you ever heard a Pastor who blame the reason why thier church checks bounce is because congregation does not tithe the way they should? Or not pay bills church has incurred? Have you ever call a Christian on the phone, knowing they are not only bouncing checks but refuse to pay for them because "they have to pay their tithes? " Or not pay thier bills or credit card bills they are racking up? I have heard these converstations plus question my own leadersip on ths issue.
Now the "Christians" are walking into bankruptcy court, asking the Worldly Judges to relieve them from their debts. How does it look when the person say "We must pay our tithes." If they are asking Worldly Judges ti grant these Chrisitans relief from thier worldly debtors, how does it make a witness for Christ.
Many belive if they give 10% they will be automaticly blessed. They see the TV preachers living in a life of exceeding luxury. Our former Paster has a 175,000 home where the average home is 50,000 or less. All these guys drive luxury vehichles while the congregation memebers just struggle to survive. If they congregation see the wealth of these men, why can they not believe they can also be weathly?
Most Chrisitian can't explain what they belive and why, but they can point and quote scriptures in the Old Testamant on Tithing? I just wonder why is this? It is because they are not teaching the Word of God to their sheep, but are insuring thier own incomes. Clash, am I telling the truth on this issue or not?
My husband and I looked into and know is does not apply for Christian for it was done away with when the Law code was. Why are local preachers and Tv preaches making Christians keep part of the Law which only benifits preachers when telling them to disregurad the Sabbath and other Law related things. YOu either keep the Law or you live by Grace. I know Jesus has given us grace,
Deep down Clash if a person feels they want to donate 10% tithe it is between them and God.

Clash,
I wonder how much damage you are doing right now for preaching the word of the Gospel though your actions. You crass behavior does more damage than a healthy discussion of the issue of tithing 10% which many Christian denominations raise themselves. If you really want to blame someone for this subject go local churches which are now pushing it.
Now I have been to a few churches. I don't think you are taking note of my post very well.
Sadly many churches on the local level are pushing the 10% rule. If it was just TV evangliest, then this post whould have been challenged a long time ago from more people than yourself. Eph 4 does not talk about tithing, so what was your point? I am not putting down the church, but if the many Christian denominations (not all but a lot) are jumping on the band wagon teaching from the pulpit of the 10% tithing rule, it should be discussed.
If you watch local braodst of local churches on public access or Sunday mornings, they are also pushing the tithing issue. I noticed many posted here who told of local church issues which they have experice related to this issue.
I like to note there are some denominations and Christian TV evenglist who don't push tithing or beg for money all the time. The people are in the minority their numbers are growning less and less. At times those who stand for the opposing view on tithing are subject to guilt trip and hassles by chruches and ministires who need to push their agenda to make the payrolls and bill they are racking up on the way.
One of the problem in ministering the Gospel to JW is the tithing issue. JW who have left the heavy handed leadership fo the Wt, are now walking into same Chruches who are teaching this point (it seems like every sunday a portion of the program is dedicated to this subject more and more) are now told from the pulpit of new church, you are required to give 10% of your income. All the guilt messages when you don't.
Look at the TBN post which started awhile back. If the Tithing issue did not affect many XJWS it would not be mentioned.
Just think, the JW who has left Wt now is subjectaged almost all the time for not only donation of 10% of income, to give more and more. How do you think the XJW is going to react? The subject is a healthy one to discuss here because most people have an opinion on it.

I am very sorry you feel this issue is turning people away from the Gospel. I think because of the heavy bill collection style used on most church platforms, Leaders and TV Evanglist have made it an issue long before I have.
I feel tithing subject hits a raw nerve with a lot of folks churched or not.
Tonight, I went to the first class in my Chaplincy training. One of the questions asked to the Class was name one reason why a person does not go to church. The loudest and most emphazied one is how Churches and Christian based ministries are hitting them up for money all the time.
I don't think airing my views on tithing on this board has damaged "enemies of the Gospel "as you put it anymore or less towards the Gospel. I feel it shows how heavy handed preaching on the subject has made more enemies of the Gospel than my little thread. Pastors, TV Evangleist and Denominations are turning the stomach than I who brings up a very real subject which is well known outside of the church. In 1998 the Boston Globe ran an article "Pentacostals give God thier due." All the article talked about is how they give God 10% of their income. It is so part of pop culture to see TV preachers begging for money. Sadly most live in the lap of luxury while many Christians struggle to get out of debt or make ends meet.
Did Jesus live such a lavish lifestyle? Where does it say in the Bible Christian Church must give 10% did not Apostle Paul work instead of asking the Chruch to pay him?
I beleive it is so indoctrinated, Many Christians will belive it or fear the fact if they don't give bad things will happen. I mean you are stealing from God if 10% is not given, right? Guilt trip is repeated and embedded from week to week. I won't even talk about Christian media who drills it on every program. Not includes asking for donations to support their ministries.
Southren Bapisit are very big into the concept of 10% tithe. Have you ever tired to reason with a Southren Bapist on this subject, let alone the Pastor? They know how my husband and I feel about it and use sciptures to back up our view. It puts us on the butt end, because the life blood today of any church is how much money can be collected.
If a person choose to Tithe and belive it is a requirement I will respect thier belif. I don't have to agree with it, but if a person make a choice to give 10% it is between them and God.
I believe a Christian should have desinated in thier budget a regular donation. It is given freely and not under compulsion. A church who is not heavy handed about donations is more in the way of the 1 century model.
I felt it a subject which should be brought up here. Can you see the fruits of the crop of Churches and TV evanglist are producing in those who listen and worship at the various churchs?
I like to see more Christians donate something more valuble which is their time. Where has discipleship gone? Why is the Christian Churchso Scripturally Iliterate when it come to why they belive what they do. I know more can quote off the top of their heads on Tithing though. Why do you think this is so?
