Pedophilia Summary
by LennyinBluemont inive read barbaras intro to the pedophile records and thought it might be useful to have a record here on the forum of the most damning and verifiable facts regarding the pedophilia situation.
sort of a summary.
that way we can all have a source to go to and be able to quickly summarize whats criminal about the way the society has used its authority in this matter.

Are you getting emails from the ChristianWitness group?
by LennyinBluemont ini got an email inviting me to join a "christian witness" group of apparently christian-oriented x-jws.
like many of you here, i no longer have any desire to be involved with anything even remotely approaching organized religion.
my concern in receiving this email is that someone apparently either thought or hoped i did, and as a consequence, provided my email address to someone i don't know without my knowledge or permission.

Would you wiki?
by LennyinBluemont init seems to me the primary power of this discussion forum is the collective knowledge, insight and research regarding the jw experience.
i would like to propose that a section of this board be set up and maintained as a wiki-pedia-type reference source regarding various issues.
this would be the next evolution of the "best of" area.

Punished by our “friends” for the letter we sent.
by LennyinBluemont insome of you may have read our exit letter from august of last year which we sent to about 50 of our close jw "friends", many of whom we had been very close to for decades.
we just told them what we had learned regarding the un scandal and provided all the documentation.
we never disassociated ourselves, nor have we been disfellowshipped.

Are we really free?
by LennyinBluemont inwe recently attended our first "apostafest" and as others were doing, took lots of pictures, both at the wedding and on sunday.
checking the board after we got back, several were begging to see photos.
someone else posted some, and so i picked out some of ours and posted them as well.

Just watched "Knocking" last nite
by LennyinBluemont inwell, i felt it would be inappropriate to write a letter to pbs complaining about their airing of this documentary, "knocking", without having seen it myself, so i ordered a copy at the exorbitant cost of about $36, and it took over a month for it to arrive.
i agree with gary buss, that it is very polished and well-done.
a few quick reactions:.

Would you join a "Letters to the Editor" Campaign?
by LennyinBluemont ini just finished reading randys thread (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/128072/1.ashx).
it occurs to me that his initial post here, with a bit of re-wording and reducing it to maybe three short paragraphs, would make an excellent letter to the editor of our local papers.
what if we all embarked on a letter-writing campaign to our local papers, using this as a basis?

Email responses from "Ed"
by LennyinBluemont insome time back we shared some replies we had received from jw friends to our "farewell" letter.. (see http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/121203/1.ashx ).
one among them, "ed" seems to want to continue the dialogue.
however, i fear the dialogue is not really legitimate.
