I have been meaning to bring this up for a long time.
Sometimes, I think we (former JW's) who are very rightly concerned about all the lies of the Governing Body have some great ideas about how to expose Jehovah's Witnesses.
Some of us have very passionate and distinct ideas. Not a few of us have websites with our own personalities evident.
I don't wish this to get personal. Even if I disagree with some presentations or rhetoric of some, I know that it is sincere. So if you have someone in mind, don't name names.
Having said that, surely there are good ideas and less effective ones. What are they? Some clearly have the idea or goal of trying to destroy Jehovah's Witnesses. Is that reasonable? Possible? (if JW's disappeared, would they all bolt to Scientology? lol)
So what works best? To what end? Whatis the goal? What should be the goal?
Part of the reason I am starting this is to talk about expectations. The other reason, methodology, what works best, knowing what we know about the borg.
I'll start with my opinion, generally stated:
I don't believe that it is possible to destroy or bring down JW's. They will be around probably for the rest of my lifetime. If you look at most movements and cults that aren't ended by the FBI or ATF, they seem to wind down. I predict in another 40 years or so, that this will happen to JW's.
I do think that information needs to be continually put out to expose JW's. I am at a loss as to the best way. I truly don't believe, cynical as this sounds, that the public at large cares about the demise of Jehovah's Witnesses. They figured out JW's were nuts well before us. We are just catching up. So imo, to depend on the publics help in a groundwell of support, without a tsunami size scandal to help, is not realistic.
Ok, thats just to get this started. I look forward to hearing other points of view.
