  hello watchtower monitors and people of the board....here's the game.. somewhere, in the united states, there is going to be an apostate showing up at one of your district assemblies, he will be sporting a rainbow wig and a john 3:16 sign.

  inside the convention.. now now, before apologists and dissents come my way.....i got a protest permit to be on said premis, and also, once i wear the wig and show the sign....as soon as they tell me to leave, i will comply...therefore i cant go to jail(saaay all you want, i already have an "ace up the sleeve" on this, so guess what?

  you're wrong if you even think otherwise hehheheheheh).

  My idea for a book.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "even if an organized religion is formed with good intentions, it is only a matter of time before the organization becomes greater than the members.

  once this happens, the priority of the leaders shifts from the well-being of the members to the well-being of the organization.".

  (this quote from elsewhere inspired me to share an idea that i have had running through my brain with the intention of one day writing a book about.

  2. friends

  i was half dreaming one time before i fell asleep last week, you know where your daydreams start to get more real as you get more sleepy.

  i was listening to an interview with bill and imagining myself at the big assembly'n what it would be like to go back there this year, how i might get treated, who would recognize me, and whether i would bump into my dad.

  found my self getting angry from what i was hearing in the interview with bill.

  Time for Silentlambs to address blood issue?

  by Pathofthorns in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted to say that perhaps now is a good time for the silentlambs group to add a fight against the society's blood policy to their agenda.

  i think the society's latest actions in response to their pressure could be considered a reasonable victory and unless the attack is broadened to include child abuse and blood, i think their 15 minutes could be up.. i see the molestation issue and the respect gained in media circles for the silentlambs group providing a "limited time" opportunity to use this issue as a springboard to launch another offensive.. the society's recent actions regarding child molestation make the issue increasingly difficult to convince the public and active jws of the need for future major changes to their policy.

  valuable time spent on the issue of molestation and trying to force the society to bend on the last few remaining "demands" while probably hundreds of witnesses die each year due to lack of blood might be better focused in another direction.. i think the common understanding that witnesses should be able to personally decide their healthcare without influence and threat of sanctions or reprisals from the congregation will be much easier to form a more united effort against the society.

  Convention Apostatizing Brings Gestapo Response

  by outnfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my flyers merely said: if as a jehovahs witness, a member of your family has been molested information is available for further information see: www.silentlambs.org or call 1-877-wtabuse.. nothing overtly inflammatory, actually more like a public service announcement.. i guess thats what most of the local organizers and friends thought in my neck of the, woods for the first two days of the district convention!

  but once the 'friends' realized that the website i was promoting with my flyers and moving car billboard was not an approved wt site, the powers that be got ... well ... pissed is the word!.

  nobody bothered me on friday as i went smiling about my posting flyers on the light and utility poles on the routes to/from the convention site.
