Ah yes....conditional love. I hate conditional love. It's really no love at all.

by Calebs Airplane inwtf is the wt doing to the minds of the brethren???.
this morning i went to the post office at 7:50am to pick up a package.
turns out the mail box section was open at 8am but the actual post office didn't open until 8:30am... rather than drive home and come back later i decided to get out my car and wait on a nearby park bench.

OK.....1- a brother talking about the marvels of Gods creations and the 8 testicles of an octopus....maybe he meant to say tentacles--- but he said testicles-- two or three times, I don't know maybe he knew a very manly octopus. 2- A sick child being carried out by his Dad holding him facing the row of seats in front of them and the kid puking on 4 or 5 southern ladies dressed to the hilt.... 98 degree Yankee Stadium heat w/ equal humidity.....no wonder the kid was sick.Well, that and of course the 'kill me now so I don't have to listen anymore' boring talks.

Online support for JWs
by goddidit ini want to use my knowledge of science and religion to reach out to jws and help them escape.
but as we all know, it's very difficult to make them listen.
they don't come to the door very often so i wondered about any online methods.. one idea i had was to friend some on facebook and use this to show them things that might make them think.. bearing in mind my audience here (you're all ex/fading/conscious class right?

P.S. I extend the invitation to anyone who wants to.....feel free to send me your name, and I'll put you on my mailing list. As mentioned above [email protected].
I wish I knew how to drive dubs to a website......can you link your website to the Society website so it will be a cross reference type thing. I'm no techie and I'm sure the wtb&ts would squech anything like that instantly.....still, don't know without trying.....

I decided to try and educate my dub-acquaintances by emailing them thru a site I set up under the name I use here: big mama (sort of a cousin to the "Mother-like Organization"). Anyway the email address is [email protected]. I pick subjects that I hope will catch their eye and interest. I've had 2 people ask to be removed....out of about 60 in a couple dozen messages sent. However I've had a couple requests for more info, and had a few send references of names to add to my mailing list. If you PM me I will send you samples of what I have sent out. OK, it's not a website and I know alot of dubs just 'junk mail' my messages. But I spent 45 years pounding the streets to preach a message I gagged on. Rmembering that makes this a cake-walk. If 1 person has their eyes opened, I will consider it a success. Your response rate will be just about like the interest you would find going door to door if you were a dub. But the attitude has to be the same: ".........just one hearing ear; just one".

Biggest freakin' bumper sticker I've ever seen.....yet it doesn't seem to say all that it could. Throw in a hint of what the heck it's all about...."google me" maybe, or 'youtube this".

40 years ago I remember asking myself...."Can I really keep doing this forever?" .....probably one of many signs that hint the answer is 'NO'. I've been out for 5 years now andcouldn't be more content.

email slam to my acquaintances
by Big Mama inin the past few months i have been putting together emails that focus on the conti trial and all involved, the affiliation of the jw's w/ hitler, the u.n., and now osce, and misc questions and objections that i have had for years.
i send them out thru an email address that "big mama" initiated for only this purpose.
my intent (which i try to make clear to the recipients) is to educate: "this is information you will not find in any of the wtb&ts publications, in fact they prefer you never know these things" is a common line in my emails.

Should anyone be interested, feel free to PM me and leave your email address and I will send you Big Mamas latest email.....you can then send it on if you like it, or perhaps use it as a format to make your own. Just an offer.

I also make sure they know that as long as they are aware of these things, remaining a Witness is OK if their conscience allows it. But to be a Jehovahs Witness without all the facts of what goes on in the backrooms and alleyways of G-Bdom is not accpetable.
The replies I've gotten have surprised me. Only one (yup:1) has asked me to stop sending. That I honored ( with comments to the effect aforementioned). I have also had requests for more info, which shocked me completely. Anyway, it seems to be a way to get the dubs talking....My focus is just to educate my ex-JW friends, and others who have had conversations and Bible Studys with the W's.
A nice and annonymous way to introduce 'the truth about the truth' to those who are still in, and that you care about.
I'm new here and just wanted to share my idea. Maybe a way for those who want to do the same to get an email progam ball rolling.
