Sorry. I do like being liked. Shunning is a religious doctrine. It should never be outlawed. As much as I hate the Witnesses, I will lead the charge to counter you. People will come out the woodword to trounce you. Indeed, I know the political reality and how power works. Mess with any religious doctrine and you will be sending an engraved invitation to the brightest, most intense lawyers in the world to come after you-Jewish lawyers. Anything that threatens any minority impacts them for a host of reasons.
No one here is ready to take on every Jewish lawyers in America. Great Britan's lawyers will turn on you. Indeed, most of the civil world.
Perhaps we should have a private conversation.
The answer to the Witnesses is never to become Stalin. When you become a censor, you are far more dangerous than some religion murdering people. Law will never be the answer. I try so hard to explain so many times.
Every person who has ever entered a church in their life will take baseball bats to beat you up, and properly so! Atheists will attack you. The WT is not a legal problem. No solution exists at law. You will lose every shred of credibility you have. Jay Lenon and David Letterman will make fun of you on national TV. Also, every existing Supreme Court justice and the dead ones now resurrected with anger will attack you. Geo. Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, John Jay James Madison (Mr. Const'n himself) will rise from the dead.
I understand the impulse. Mockery, word of mouth,, etc. Indeed, just live your routine daily life and talk to people with out becoming dramatic and expressing your rage is the way to go. You can post what you want. I don't own the forum. There are so many people I respect here who are clueless about power.
Frankly, doing Dateline was amazing. Yet I know who do Dateline, Charlile Rose, all the time. Particularly for a former Witness at Bethel, it was incredible. I am so impressed. You have no power against me. Nothing you can do will ever stop me. I will be the one to stop you.
Freedom is never free. Freedom takes effort. I love freedom so much I am willing to die for it. Indeed, I broke my JW training and swore an oath to do so. Do you know that Irish lawyers were executed with their clients? Pakistanti laweyrs dropped everything to stop more tyranny. Don't think I do not know how to throw Molotov cocktails and what organs to go for to destroy you.You don't understand it but you are talking about destroying every freedom gained since the Magna Carta was signed. The entire English speaking world will condemn you.
I will personally be the one to altert them. There are an infiinite number of ways to accomplish your goal in reality. Any xxxxx fool can write an article. The standards today are at an all time low. The Internet is even worse. Not every utterance against the Witnesses is worthy. My sense from being here is that most people here are very decent.
It is sad that such decent people are ready to sacrifice such more important values than the sorrow of disfellowshiping. Yes, shunning is bad. I agree. I will side with the shunners before I will side with the tyrants. Not tyrants. TYRANTS! DICTATORS. DESTROYERS OF ALL THINGS DECENT. NAZIS. BOLSHEVIKS. THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION., etc. THE INQUISTION.
No, this is where the line is drawn in the sand. I don't want to play Paul Revere. This happens to frequently for me. Any article against the Witnesses by some Nazi, bozo, hate monger or person who never ever heard of free speech and free religion is not good for posting. Every law suit against the Witnesses does not have merit.
