Hello all! I am working, more in the planning stages, where I am going to offer a commentary on the Caleb and Sophia cartoons that the org puts out. I noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer. I would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable. I wish to offer how the cartoons fit in a Mcdonaldized organizations within a male dominated sub-culture. If you are intersted in collaborating please drop me a message.

Protest for Mandatory Reporting?
by Luther bertrand inon another thread, i have been having a discussion about protests in connection with watchtower policy.
one of the biggest and more re-occuring rebuttals to protesting at kingdom halls and assemblies is that it does two things: 1. it re-enforces the apostate "mentally diseased" narrative heaped on the xjw community by the gb 2. it causes people to withdraw and get closer to the borg.. what if we as a group took the protest to city halls and government authorities to raise awareness of the need for mandatory reporting laws, rather than protesting @jw events?
hell even geoffry jackson, when he gave his testimony at the arc, agreed that it would be "helpful".

@Enlightenment123 from your comment am I to assume that you would be ok if protests were brought to secular authorites rather than to the KHor Assemblies?

@smiddy The problem is that each state in Australia have different laws concerning the reporting of alleged child sex abuse. Some require others do not. -

@bafh I agree with you10,000% So back t the original question. Do you think it would be easier for exjws to organize as a single group in solidarity if the protest were shift in the way that I described?

@ScenicViewer Taking the protests away from the Kingdom Halls and assemblies would actually take the protest from a focus of hey this is a cult watch out to we need to change laws concerning Mandatory reporting. By doing that it takes religion out of the emphasis of the protest and more on change legal policies.
