Using Illegal Means for Righteous Activism

by John Davis in

i wanted to get people's opinion on something.

how do you feel when people use illegal means while performing their activism to shed light on the watchtower.

there have been people who have illegally recorded conversations with elders and with branch offices or at meetings.

Judicial Committees are illegal meetings anyway so I think it's a great idea to record them if the accused feels forced to attend one.

I wish I could get rid of the 1 off my user name. I can’t see a list anywhere with moderators on it.

I think I did message Simon when I first signed up but never got a reply.

Hi Wifi Bandit.

Are there copies of this letters in Spanish? Their equivalents from the Spanish branch would be fantastic if available.

Also if you have the UK versions, I'd be very grateful.

It used to be illegal in the UK to ask for money for charity. Even to rattle their collection tin at you too, although they always did it.

Its not really charity if you’re forced or guilted into it.

just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

red, arrow, break.

Thanks DioG. I loved it, especially with the BSL too!
