two of this board's, and h2o's before it,long time and well known participants have fallen on desperately hard times.
if they could set up pay pal accounts and enough of us could contribute say $20 - $50 per month it would help them though their hardship.. these two people have helped many escape from the wts and i know for sure have given money and other material help to those in need, even when they could not afford it.. if you can help, send an email to: [email protected].
you need not include any particulars of who you are etc, just an indication that you could support this and how much you could send.
Wow,
We are up to $120 per month with 8 respondents. Some is targeted specifically to farkel since other are helping the other needy one privately.
Guys, let's show the WTS what LOVE really is, atheists, agnostics, gays, Christians, fundamentalists and all. Let's bury our diffs, if any, and get behind our friends......
Challenge: Make this bigger than the UN thread and we can help others of our posters who are needy......

we're flagging....bttt.
we seem to be at something of an impasse with the press.
currently, the guardian seems to have an exclusive.
i'd suggest we use that fact to get further publicity for the un-wts connection.
blondie,
We each do what we think is right. I don't see the blood, child abuse, UN issues as being disconnected but others may. Some may support the WTS in some areas and not in others. My initial response was to your list of why writing letters might not work. I think actually that you're correct; however, given the publicity that the three Guardian articles gave to child abuse, I personally feel that there is more at stake than simply the UN deal.

We now have 5 contributors and $80.00 a month. Even if you can't contribute and support the concept, please help by keeping this post at the top...
One of the posters who I'm suggesting we help is Farkel who has posted on his plight. The other has not posted about it but is well known and loved by many.
thanks,
T.

Intro,
Of course you're right. I just wanted to move the thread up to the top and also see if we could set the WTS an example. Many here are nonbelievers.
T.
ps: edited; one part Preston's post emphasized that actual acts are more important than talk. That's partly why I posted it here since we all like to talk about stuff so much.
one of the upcoming articles listed in the latest wt is:.
"i appeal to caesar".
just speculating, but could this be an article that explains the ngo/dpi association to the rank and file?.
blondie,
: It is an illusion that the GB controls these articles.
That is so true. Sadly the rank & file actually think that the expositions in The Watchtower are communicated from Jehovah to the GB. It's sad because the org. itself has taught them to believe that - see the page from the 1939 YearBook.
T.
several posters have asked what i thought of the.
revelations about the wt being associated with the un.
as an ngo so i thought i might make a brief comment on.
Lefty,
You're a liar. A condition of affiliation is support of the UN Charter and principles and education of the NGO's constituency on UN matters with a view to motivating public support.
It is disgusting the way you so-called Christians will lie through yr teeth to protect the Mommy who's screwing you up the business end of your intestinal tract.
T.
ps: and also, if being a DPI affiliate is innocuous then why quit when that affiliation comes to light.

Wanted to include Preston's excellent citation in this thread.
Atheists at Ground Zero
To the editor:
I hope that the old out-of-town proselytizers in Lower Manhattan who approach those upset by terrorism will discover some local secular pleasures and stop preying on New Yorkers ("Delivering the Gospel to Ground Zero's Streets," news article, Oct. 18). Maybe they will learn toleration, and bring it home when they leave.
Also, contrary to the missionary who said "there are no atheists in the foxhole," we're right here. We donate blood, money and services to relief efforts. We mourn the dead and console each other without prayer services. And we don't need any more tracts thank you.
Josh Karpf
Director, NYC Atheists
NY, October 18, 2001
end of article
Also, I'd ad that the scarcity of atheists in foxholes says something about who starts and fights wars!
