Tally,
I can understand you are eager in your efforts to help others. Let me see if I can explain from the perspective of one that not too long ago felt allot different from how I do today. Someone that is fresh and able to see both sides. Tally, I'm not saying don't do anything. You said that a picture is worth a thousand words. So true. But timing is everything.
With the world being on edge the USA has come together to show how united they are in their unity and brotherhood, it is called patriotism all for one fighting for a common goal even if it means suffering and for some even death. You can go up to these individuals and tell them that the government has many faults are they going to listen? Not right now because there is a bigger issue at hand, survival. Last week showed us that we are all vulnerable.
The same is true with JW's, as strong as that patriotism is in the USA it is as strong in the org. What did last week remind them of? Armageddon is sure to come SOON. All the years of hard work and sacrifice are sure to pay off. Tally, right now you can go up to most individuals in the org. and not only tell them but also prove all the many wrongs that the org has done and are they going to listen? You guessed it, not right now, again because of the bigger issue ...survival.
Yes, many feel that getting the door slammed in their face is persecution. At some of the meetings lately they have had the publishers watch videos on persecution at home then a discussion at the hall as to how we should also resolve to stand up to the same persecution as well if needed to defend the issue of Jehovah's rulership. We should resolve to stand up for it even if it meant death. How's that for patriotism.
I don't think that having a site that shows the pictures for what they are is wrong, that is not where I have the problem. In your post you stated
I am presently drafting an "Open Letter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation"
to warn them of this Extremely Dangerous Network of Fundamentalist Fanatics who have a Global Network in place and whose intent is the Violent Overthrow of America, as well as all other governments in opposition to their Theocracy.
Of course, this Terror Organization we know as:
The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York, Inc.The FBI and all other U.S.Security Agencies need to be duly warned.
First thing I want to state is that the government already considers them a cult and the FBI already has files on them.
By trying to bring persecution on them from the government will only show JW's that what the org has been telling them all these years is true. It will only convince millions that they were right all along. Not only those in the org but possibly many that have left and may still have that lingering doubt, "What if they are right"?
As in the time leading up to 1975 there was a record increase. Will the org see that again? Most definitely, it is human nature, again survival. There is nothing that you or anyone can do to prevent it. If you succeed in trying to cause the government to slow or shut them down, it will be nothing more then Bible fulfillment to them, it will make them right.
If the FBI and other Government Agencies take a hard look at the "We Hate America and Death To America" Watchtower Society... well and good. Maybe charges of sedition will be leveled against them again, as was the case during World War I and the Watchtower Leaders Bastards, will be tried and convicted and thrown in jail.
Again, GOOD!
Get those Kult Kriminals off the street.
The org used what happened to them during WW1 to claim fulfillment of bible prophecy in the study of the Revelation book. They would love to be able to do that again.
Do you think convicting them on the 'Harboring Pedophiles' issue would be a bad thing? And putting those responsible in jail, a bad thing? Would the jWs see that as Persecution? Some idiots would. It would wise up others, and they could finally make their Exit from the Kult.
This is the hole in their defense mechanism. A couple of years they were so busy making note of the transgressions of the Catholics on this subject, They didn't expect it to turn and bite them in the ass. There is no way to defend the approval of Child Abuse. No matter what country or language or background. It is intolerable it is an act of terrorism against a child. Pure Evil.
You can yell about the setting of dates, the new light changes. even the blood issue and how it has changed. Things like that will be disregarded as Jehovah letting the light of understanding blah, blah, blah.
But crimes against a child inconceivable.
Tally, as I stated it is all in the timing. You will only be giving them the gratification of being "right" on a silver platter.
I hope that this helps you to understand from a different perspective.
