Mouthy,
I thoroughly enjoyed our short conversation in the chat room the other day - you amaze me! Thank you for your very sincere concern, it is SO MUCH appreciated!!
I had a real lousy night's sleep last night, just continually tossing and turning and thinking about my daughters in the borg. There HAS to be some way of exposing the WT for what it really is. For a cult, one has to admit that it has done a really good (TERRIBLE!) job of snaring people and holding them there! To inculcate that God will destroy them for going off to their families rather than giving him (actually, the borg) exclusive devotion is heinous in the extreme. Well, we can't turn the clock back but we CAN make this the start of a concerted battle.
I don't really know where to start the battle from. Physio and I can sit back and wait for our daughters to see sense - but that could take forever. There are plenty of parents/siblings on this forum who know only too well that waiting patiently isn't always successful. I don't want to be on my death-bed before my girls decide to come visit, but that's literally what could transpire if we just sit back and do nothing.
I believe the org's weak spot is its holding fast to 1914. The GB are now mostly very old and decrepit, but a younger elite is being groomed to take over. My goodness, I couldn't stomach another 20-plus years of this outrage. The internet and forums such as this have a tremendous part to play - but I remember well how, when I was a "good borg", I used to immediately exit a site if I thought it was pushing apostasy. It isn't enough to just rely on web sites like this - people may only access them when they are on a down, or perhaps starting to question. We need to get the WT and all its failures, hypocrisy and broken family carnage into the spotlight all the time. But how???
Physio was right when she said it is so utterly frustrating knowing that we have all the evidence against the WT but we can't get the rank and file to even look at it.
Has anyone got any ideas about an action plan? Don't worry if it seems crazy, we're dealing with an absolutely crazy situation.
As you can gather, I'm angry, perplexed and utterly frustrated at how the WT sits back and laughs with seeming impunity. Everything has its Achilles' heel. There's got to be some way of hitting it..................
Please start making suggestions. I'm getting desperate.
