I heard on TV this morning that a few will protest at our assembly which will be held in Quebec city Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I heard that someone who lost a family member due to blood policy will protest in front of where the assembly will be held....
I'll try to find a link to this story..
Well, get out your trusty little camera, and take some pics for us!
I heard the story very fast on TV this morning, so I googled this and I'm not sure if its about this story....

This one is in French, but it is posted by the protest organizer on his site:

Le 29 juin à Québec j'organise une manifestation. Nous serons quelques-un a être présent. Nous commencerons vers 7:30am devant le Colisé Pepsi. La raison pour manifester est le début du congrès des Témoins de Jéhovah à cette date. http://www.lanouvelle.net/article-111605-Les-Temoins-de-Jehovah-invitent-les-Plessisvillois-a-leur-congres-a-Quebec.html Les anciens témoins de Jéhovah qui seront présent seront masqués. La raison pour laquel ils seront masqués est que la majorité des ex-Témoins craignent les représailles de leur familles. Donc pour protégé leur anonymat, ils seront à visage couvert.
Pour ceux qui aimerait venir, vous êtes le bienvenue. Nous serons devant le Colisé jusqu'à la fin de leur pause du midi.
June 29 at Quebec City, I am organizing a protest. We will be some who are present. We will begin at 7:30 am in front of the Colisé Pepsi. The reason for the protest is the beginning of the convention of Jehovah's Witnesses on that date.

Former Jehovah's Witnesses who are present will be masked. The reason for this is that the majority of ex-Witnesses fear reprisals from their families. Therefore to protect their anonymity, their faces will be covered.
For those who wish to join, you are welcome. We will be in front of the Colisé until the end of their midday break.
Anyone need to borrow my video camera?
Thanks for the link and story Scully.
I just caught a fraction of the news on TV this morning, so I wasn't sure what it was all about.
Guess there will be pictures and news tomorrow in the news paper
Do these protests do any good? Most JW's view apoatates as crazy and dangerous, doesn't this type of behaviour re-inforce their perception?

The public in general might see this as an internal problem, thus things aren't going as well as they say in their organization.
My wife and I we helped enormously by a protestor. For years there was a fellow around here that set up shop outside the DC's. He had a big banner with a phone number on it. We saw him at the Tacoma Dome in the summer of 1988. My wife wrote down the number but we didn't have the nerve to call him. A few months later we did.
Turns out he's the pastor of a local church and he ran a support group for xjw's and the family's of jw's. We got a lot of help from them.
There may be others out there that will start thinking, especially young ones.
Protest!? Weeee!
