Anyone know "Diane Wilson" & WTRape?

    I got this email this morning,
    and don't know if it's legit or not.
    Don't know a "Diane Wilson". Don't know of the book she lists
    as having written.

    Do know that I don't take kindly to a THREAT of a Lawsuit
    for STEALING another person's "property"... out of the blue,
    when all along, since 1999, I received from an anonymous source,
    named "Prominent Bethelite", the Watchtower excerpts about their
    changing/reversing positions on Rape ... and the commentary which
    went with it, which I also assumed was the work of PB, as it is
    definitely in his/her style of writing... and I had the WTRape webpage
    up on the Internet for 3 years now, without a problem.

    Free. Free. Free. Free Information, which I made a webpage of,
    and put up to help people, to expose the Watchtower, to show their
    lower than dim view of women. I've never charged anything for what
    I've put up on the Internet, never asked to be credited, ...

    Hell, when people ask if they could use something from a Webpage(s)
    I put up, I've always said sure, and that THEY CAN TAKE CREDIT FOR IT FOR ALL I CARE... just as long as the 'word gets out' and this
    information is spread as widely as possible to help others,
    on what is the Most Excellent Communications Tool in Existence-
    The International Network.

    Others, I've found out, put a Super Huge Premium on Taking Credit,
    Receiving Credit and Receiving $$$ for their "work" to expose the Kult.

    To Quote a Very Wise Sage, Steve Martin: "Well, Exxxcuuuussseee Me!"

    And I even suspend the Christian principle of "You received free, give free."

    Hell, I'm still living by the Old Hippie Ethic about giving freely
    in regards to putting out information that would serve others...

    So, here's the mail.
    Since "Diane Wilson" is a "public figure" and "famous author",
    I figure "she" wouldn't mind me listing her UNSOLICITED, by me,
    email address...

    Anyone got any information on ANY of this?

    Thanks,

    TT

    Hello,

    My name is Diane Wilson, and I am the true author of all of the information
    on this website about the Watchtower's view of rape. The contents of your
    website has been lifted verbatim from an article I wrote for Free Mind's
    Journal July/Aug 1994 edition. You have plagarized my work because you have
    not given credit to me as the author. All of this material is also included
    in my new book, Awakening of a Jehovah's Witness: Escape From the Watchtower
    Society, which is a copyrighted work.

    I will give you permission to keep this material on this website ONLY IF you
    credit me for this material.To avoid legal consequences, you must say on this
    website that Diane Wilson is the originator of this work, and list the title
    of my book, Awakening of a Jehovah's Witness: Escape From the Watchtower
    Society.

    Sincerely,
    Diane Wilson

    Tom,

    I'd suggest contacting her for more detailed information, including a copy of the original article. It's possible that she is writing a book and is plagiarizing you and PB - so you need proof.

    ps: here's freeminds back issues, so Randy would be able to tell you if she's legit: http://www.freeminds.org/sales/bakissue.htm

    It's on my yahoo profile, along with all of Talley's and 'PB's' pages, thru hyperlinking.

    Diane,

    I'm glad the info is up. I and others are pumping it out daily. This page is one of the most requested pages in yahoo, so I just put it on my profile. No one can lay this 'schtuff' down like Tally and 'PB', imo.

    This is why I begged Tom to put it back up on the net.

    Have you seen their 'work' Diane? Visit Usenet sometime and get a crash course.

    Thanks guys!! by the way, for putting WTRape.html back on the net.

    Tom, her handle is 'seemybook'. I just saw her thread on Kent's, fyi. Go have a gander.

    Good for you. Some people thing intellectual property rights are important. The law supports them.

    Lionel,
    I wrote Randy Watters this morning to try and get to the bottom
    of this, but so far haven't heard back.
    Blow me Down!
    I might have made a mistake and misunderstood something that was
    sent anonymously to me 3 years ago, and made a webpage out of the
    information... and haven't heard a peep of an objection to haven
    "lifted" or STOLEN someone's "intellectual property", and threatened
    with legal CONSEQUENCES if I didn't do so and so...
    until this morning,
    where if this is someone else's work (NOT the WT's Excerpts, which are the Bulk of the Webpage, but the "commentary" that went with
    the quotes from WT literature), then that someone maybe figgered
    it would be a good time to CA$H-In to try to Sell A Book...
    and looks like she already has a shill in this thread.

    I repeat Steve Martin:

    LOve, Tallyman

    Tom,

    There is a freeminds article on rape in 1994 available from Randy for $1.50 if you wnat to order it.

    I agree though, it seems like a lot of nonsense - I suppose adding her name, if she's legit, will work though.

    Funkyman,

    I see that Sister Wilson has a good li'l shill for her, here.

    Hey, since you provided a $$Commercial$$ link...
    how about supplying us with "Diane Wilson's" personal Webpage,
    where she freely gives out some of her sage observations
    on the Watchtower, to help alert people about this most dangerous Kult. You know, a Public Service Type Website, which many of the
    people on the Internet think "really important" -
    the FREE Interchange of Ideas & Information.

    If you posted THAT link, Funkyman, I musta missed it.

    She doesn't have to put up her whole friggin' book online,
    just some hefty excerpts from it - hey you know, to whet the appetite,
    so the readers can then rush out to click on YOUR link to go BUY
    the Whole friggin' book.

    The law supports them.
    Oh, we're getting LEGAL here, are we?
    "Diane Wilson" got LEGAL on me, in her email-
    (hey, since you brought up things that some people think are important... how's about "Common Courtesy"??
    Because I seriously don't like veiled threats of lawsuits
    first thing in the morning when I open my email,
    before I even gots a few sips of coffee...

    The law supports them.
    ShhhhhhiT! "The Law supports" the Activities of the Watchtower Kult
    if you want to add on to things that "The Law Supports"...
