  I think it will soon reach critical mass. Unless they do something that is just totally off the wall, I can see dropping a bit before it stabilizes, and continues into the future. If it dose fizzle out it won't be in my life time

  If they are at least to delay the reversing process, they have to get more involved in the internet. There just to much negative information out there for an interested person to see. Even when I was indoctrinated I knew the internet was a bad place to be with regard to JDuds, but what I didn't realise was just the shear volume and extent of it. For such a small organisation they surly punch well above their weight with negative info.

  Illegal immigrants in the organization?

  by silent in

  i had a thought today that might prove interesting.

  i'm wondering if there are any illegal immigrants who are witnesses?

  surely it would be a great position to be in as an illegal immigrant because you could play up your plight and prey on the sympathies of others within the congregation.

  i got an invite from some none j bud family members to go to my little cousins 1 year old birthday party.

  this is going to sound weird but in my 40 years of living this is the 1st birthday i've ever attended.

  i thoroughly enjoyed it.

Just lots of little kids running around, a barbecue and pleasant conversation with the adults.

  I know for a fact they accept illegals into the cong, but they cannot have a position of responsibility. I think if your breaking the law weather it be theft, illegal immigrants etc. Then you are breaking Ceasars laws, and it should be handled accordingly.

  of course they don't allow comments.

  If they have got some place you can contact the person of the Web page. I always quote them that km about how it's not necessary or appropriate to have additional Web pages. It's also in breach of their copy right. Hehe. There was a kingdom hall in the UK that was advertising on the net. Someone took them to task on it and with in 24 hours it was closed down. I can send you the link if you want.

  Active JW's and JW Lurkers- Especially JW Defenders and Believers: A Few Questions For You

  while there are not too many currently defending the watchtower in this discussion forum, it happens from time to time.

  and quite often, there may be new people and lurkers reading these discussions.

  i just wanted you to ponder these questions.

  Committee chairman = Your a good man. Comparing you to what I went through I just wonder how you manage to do it. I was just a publisher so how much more turmoil it must be for you been an elder been on JC, disfellowshipping people for the very things that you have questions about. Can't you sort of see a conflict of interest. I just can't get over how drastically my life has changed over 2 years. When I was first discovering TTATT I honestly thought I could play in both worlds. I can go to the meetings, F'S etc and still know that there are some things drastically wrong. 18 months ago I walked out of the KH for the last time. The mountain just got to big for me. I feel frustrated that I can't openly say anything to indoctrinated family members for fear of making my situation worse than what it is. Anyway I wish you the best and BTW I'm not having a go at you either.

  BTW some of the other replies I have got when I have tried to mention this to are.

  2 people who are publishers. "Probably media hype". And one of those 2 people went on to tell me that I had presented him with "hurt full information."

  1 person a bethelite. She now just Dosnt respond to me any more.

  The only person who said "I feel really sorry for those victims and I hope they get the help they need" was from this random guy I meet on the net who had studied with the witnesses on and off over the years and was an apologist.

  It seems to be the higher up the ladder they get the less likely they are to except that this is a very real problem the organisation is facing.
