So, I can't believe nobody's come up with the idea of apostate jewelry before now, because I think it's brilliant:

Kyria's a friend of mine on Facebook, and the author of "I'm Perfect, You're Doomed". I just picked up one of the pendants to add to my charm bracelet. She totally should expand into stuff like doormats and door knockers, don't you think?
Whatever floats your boat......
lol love it.
I just ordered the book at the nice price from amazon. Now that is a book that I'd like to "place" with householders. She should get that in a paperback cheap enough for it to be given out.
Ooooh goody...
So much potential, so little time...
I would love to see:
Inexpensive tracts printed up, based on themes and using old Witness literature to illustrate their doctrinal flip-flops... Some of the themes I'd like to see would be:
1. WTBTS' stance on organ transplants - one side has WTBTS' literature declaring it to be "Cannibalism!" and the other side stating it was "up to the individual's conscience"...
2. WTBTS' stance on people of color - and I state that because of the fairly recent thread on old - and extremely condescending and bizarre WTBTS' attitudes towards people of color.... I'd like to see that in Spanish, French (many citizens of nations in Africa also speak French, esp. north Africa), and whatever languages are quite common in the poorest areas of Africa...
3. Vicious, murderous comments about disfellowshipped and disassociated JWs... Especially helpful if you're talking to a worldly person or JW apologist...
4. A Malawi political card and articles from the WTBTS at the height of the Malawi persecution... Ditto with Rutherford's attempts to cozy up to Hitler and his subsequent change of face...
If it was possible to condense some of the above into two-sided (dare I say two-faced?? ) keychains, I'd like to see that too...
That whole F*CK JWs!! is a juvenile waste of breath when we could do some REAL damage with their own (flip-floppin'...) words...
Zid
I'll bet Kyria can get into legal trouble for copying that from the Watchtower.
I agree that all of the above is important.
But I also have no problem with the juvenile "Fuck JWs!" bit, because frankly: I'm a bit angry, it's the way I feel, and if glancing at an "FUJWs!" charm on my bracelet allows a quick vent for my anger and a laugh, I'm all for it The rest of that is pretty tough to fit on an ornamental piece of jewelry.
And hey, who knows, somebody might see the keychain/pendant and ask "gee, why the hostility towards JWs?" Therefore, opening up further discussion.
classless, though, imo.
What about all the JWs who manufacture "Watchtower" jewelry? Isn't that technically copyright infringement?
I wonder if some legal loophole about parody being free game might apply...
What can I say? I'm young and classless, too :)
