May 17, 2010 is the 90th anniversary of the release of the book Millions Now Living Will Never Die--one of the quickest ways to show the ludiocrity of the wt cult is this book--the title says it all.
I propose an anonymous, large-scale blitz with the main message being false prophecies. (Too many messages and the content is lost to the public.)
This could be done by everyone blogging or posting a simple message on their blogs or a non-jw-related Internet forum--anywhere potential new recruits will read the message. All done the week of May 17, 2010 to maximize impact.
KISS=Keep It Simple Sweetheart! No going off on tangents, going off message, or providing overwhelming amounts of facts. People have short attention spans. Think tv commercial: 1 message, quickly understood in 15 seconds. You can talk about other stuff at another time, or if someone engages you in conversation. The ex-scientologists did the one-message technique with great success--their message really got out.
Proposed article--something like this:
Title: May marks another failed prediction by apocalyptic cult
Article: It is amazing a fringe group with a long history of countless end-of-the-world predictions could still be in existence, isn't it? Yet millions are still duped.
Watchtower Society, also known as Jehovah's Witnesses, has predicted the end of the world dozens of times. When the dates pass, adherents simply stop talking about the failed prophecy and start talking about what's next.
May 2010 marks the 90th anniversary of one of these predictions. This prediction was simply, "Millions now living will never die," stated in a book, newspaper interviews, and on signs at bookstands. The prophecy foretold that millions of individuals alive in 1920 would see Armageddon in their natural lifetimes and, if they joined up, would see Earth transformed into a paradise, populated only by Jehovah's Witnesses.
Despite these inaccurate teachings, millions still belong to this organization and believe Armageddon is right around the corner. Their current lives are to be ones of sacrifice, spending half of their time in religious pursuits.
You can find a comprehensive list of their failed prophecies, along with literature quotes, at http://www.freeminds.org/doctrine/prophecy/comprehensive-list-of-false-dates-set-by-the-watchtower.html.
PS-Can someone provide a link to that chart from the upcoming wt about how much time should be spent in the ministry, etc? I would hyperlink to that to prove they are suggesting half of one's time should be spent in culty pursuits. TY
