  Actually, Dubla, David James is no star!

  Search, there ya go again. Like the rest of the Liverpool supporters you're green with envy over Manchester United's dominance of the Premier League since its inception.

  Hamas, I expected better from you. There's no refereeing bias towards United, that's an old, whimpered excuse continually expounded by jealous people like searchforthetruth who cannot appreciate the fact that Manchester United are the classiest soccer act in Briatin. At least Eman is honest with his praise about United.

  Manchester United are a good bet for the double this year - and David Beckham won't be missed (apart from his deadly free-kicks). I have to admit, there's no-one at Old Trafford with Beckham's trusty right foot, which could bend a ball magnificently.

  Liverpool will be nothing winners. I can't even see Arsenal offering a serious threat this year.

  Yes, it's nice to be looking down from the top!

  Hi Hamas,

  Glad you turned up alive and well.

  I was never dead - apart from the 19 years I spent in Watchtower!

  Maybe I'll see you when the Foxes come into the Red Devils' den!

  Best,

  I'll bet that the methods Hillary and his wife use are very different from the ones that Dansk and his wife use.

  Min,

  We don't have ANY methods! We can't speak to any JWs openly because we're shunned. The two we have spoken to of late came round to us. It was then merely a matter of talking about what they already knew. Just knowing they could speak freely helped them.

  As for shouting, that's not my style - unless you've been naughty!

  I was rather hoping someone would pick up on an alternative way of attracting JWs other than the internet, i.e. for those without access. Any ideas?

  Brummie,

  I did put 'militant' in inverted commas, the point being to emphasise that he is not militant in the accepted term but that his ways are different to, shall we say, the norm. He is a swell guy known by quite a number on this list, though he doesn't post here. He has done much to expose Watchtower over the years and I am proud to be associated with him.

  Hi Mulan,

  We have some very close friends, who have a situation similar to yours, Dansk. Their eldest daughter, only grandchild and son in law will have no contact with them. They have been out of the JW's for 3 years, and haven't seen their only grandchild since she was about 15 months old. Their other daughter left the "truth" with them, and is their only family connection. They got involved, trying to help a cause that they were sure would bring down the organization, or at least make their other daughter see what it for what it is. The Dateline TV show really raised their hopes, but nothing has changed.

  The father, BB, is my friend, also! BB helped me more than he'll ever know - and all the way from across the pond. I was hoping to get down to see him, his wife and "other daughter" next year but, unfortunately, that's looking increasingly unlikely. Next time you speak to him please tell him I asked how he was. I telephoned him a week or two back but got a recorded message. Guess I owe him another call.

  Remember Dansk, while the WTS may strike you as the most obnoxious religion on the planet, it is rather benign compared to many that have not affected you personally.

  Of course - no other religion has taken my daughters!

  Hillary, my wife and I are not DA'd or DF'd, either - but we're still shunned. It's very difficult to be the politician when one is not allowed to voice an opinion. Then again, I suppose I could always shout across the street.

  You must also realize that the best way of freeing the JW’s of the WTS hold on their lives is not by necessarily by public campaigns, but by helping individuals, patiently and over time to see what has happened to them.

  Hillary,

  You are one of the posters I respect most on this list. The problem I have is how do we help those desperate individuals who have no access to the internet to find such forums as this?

  ISP, Latte and one or two others we know will all tell you of a certain individual who has been coming around to my house overjoyed with the fact that after more than 20 years of trying to escape the Watchtower he has at last found someone he can confide in!

  As I said, I don't ignore the importance of other methods besides campaigns - but this poor soul is a perfect example of how desperate he was to find others of a like mind but was unable to because he doesn't possess a computer! He only found out my views because I asked him to do some work for me.

  Hillary, you have mentioned certain individuals like Alan F, etc., in the past and I applaud their actions. However, these people are splintered all over the place, mainly in the USA and the rest of us have no idea of what is really going on. I believe there is room for all types of action, individual and collective. The important thing is to let those without internet access know there are people who can both sympathise and empathise. You and many others have made excellent posts - but they need to be seen by thousands of others. I'd like something set up besides this forum; something reachable by those without a computer.

  Best wishes,

  Dansk

  Andi - and E-man,

  I appreciate your posts, seriously! Perhaps I am allowing this to become personal (me versus the Watchtower, I mean).

  Yesterday my wife and I passed our older daughter in the car (she was with her husband in their car). They were pulling up outside their home whilst Claire and I were on our way to the shops. My old congregation has a Tuesday night meeting and they were dressed in their meeting attire. Obviously, they had come home early for a reason - my guess being my daughter was unwell. But there was nothing we could do. They didn't see us (I don't think) and THEY are SHUNNING us!!

  Destroying Watchtower is NOT my only goal in life - but messages to me on and off-list show the amount of support there is for a conscerted campaign of some kind. I wouldn't want to let so many people down.
