Let's get organized

friends

i've made a couple of posts just now on other threads,,,,,,and i'm off to bed.. 2.15 am and a bad day.. look......whoever is running this place, you don't need thousands of idiots like me phoning and emailing the media.

they love a good story but will be totally confused if they get dozens of disjointed stories.. get organized.....all you need is email addresses.

you have the professionals to write the press releases.. we are just amateurs and will embarrass you if we attempt to do the same.. please set up a site where we can submit email addresses of the proper people that press releases should be sent to.. a simple phone call will give any of us posters the email address of the editor or religious writer of any newspaper.. if we all did that and sent it to a central source, this site could immediately release explosive material world-wide overnight.. please..........just get the email addresses and leave it to the professionals on this site to spread the news.

wombat is right on target with his comments. Please review what I wrote on the same subject on another thread:

Willy--- I read your other post. I did not gather that you were in favor of any kind of organized effort.

I'm sure in some cases it could do harm if presented in a radical unsubstantiated manner, but we have links to the original Statement of Claim and the radio interview, as well as the final settlement. That should be enough to validate our information to the newspaper. Even if the editor should trash can our 'release' because of lack of interest, I fail to see how it could do harm in this case as long as we stick to facts properly presented. If I send out 100 e-mails & 99 are trashed, I will be glad for the one that paid attention. Where I live I doubt that I would be treading on the toes of 'the professionals' among us. I like your 'letter to the editor' suggestion and I will explore how that can be done without blowing my cover.

We have a lot of resources available and we are motivated. How can we be most effective in using these resources? I will venture to say that many of us are still willing to follow the direction of 'those taking the lead'. I, for one, am not content doing nothing.

I guess my point is -- If you are aware of an organized effort, please share.

i am new

by lunarlara in

i have been studying with the jw for just over 3 years.i have always believed in god and the bible.

the path my life took ended up with me being a single parent of 4 children.. the jws led me down the path of the "truth".

my grandmother disowned me and i just couldnt understand why.i was told that satan was lurking round every corner trying to get me away from god.

Go to www.un.org (the UN Web site)

Click "Welcome"

Click "About the United Nations"

In the left column (about halfway down), find and click "NGO Section" (NGO means "non-governmental organization," which is true of any organization that is not a Government)

In the left column, find and click "NGO Related Documents and Events" In the right hand side, you will find "Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York"

As I started to get into the nuts & bolts of emailing the press release about Quotes to my local newspaper, I wound up wondering who to send it to. Should it go to the Editor, Publisher, janitor? Should each reporter get one? How big of an area should I shoot for? With links to affiliates, there seems to be no end to the scope of where I can send them.

Should we 'take out a territory'? Sorry--old habits you know.

I clicked on this link to read the settlement, but all I get is a blank page. Can someone verify that it still works?

Thanks

they will never prevent the truth about their satanic religion.

I agree that 'Satanic relgion' is too radical to attract many of those on the fence or with small doubts.

He was picked to share his story at our last convention. He shared how his younger son asked if he could come back home.
That's right. He turned down his own son to further his own religious ambitions.

The story is bad enough if told in secret. Being on the Convention program shows the mindset of those in charge.
