many ones posts R chocking
no chit cherlock
Sadly though,
In this system of things
they will probably continue.
Wait on Brooklyn
(to get all JWs off the net)

Hi Kent,
1st,, I'm behind you on this thing links to the "FLOCK" book.
I read on the net somewhere about a lawsuit having other good
side-effects for XJW's.
such as a court battle might expose FINANCIAL INFO about the
WTBTS ( which would be PUBLIC RECORD )
not to mention the possibility of a "class action" thing on the blood
issue.

Also, can I get your opinion on the following?
Seems to me, that most people know very little about JW's
in general. A typical person says: O yah, they don't celebrate
Christmas, and don't get blood transfusions.
I would like to add AND THEY AREN'T ALLOWED ON THE
INTERNET. why? Because if the society rules that it is too
"dangerous spiritually" for its members.....more people who
are approached by the "recruiters" would tell them how ridiculous
it is to "not be allowed to surf-the-net"!
This might help JWs to "stop and think" AND cut down on new
membership.
And there would be a lot of "big money" companies who would then
view the JWs in a "NEW LIGHT" (pardon the expression) .
Microsoft, for example would probably view them as no longer
"relatively harmless" i.e. if all those people who are out "knocking
on doors" are telling people that they shouldn't be on the internet,
I think Microsoft WOULD CARE.

And if the society quickly scrambles to come up with something
similar to the "methodology" that is now in place for TELEPHONE
WITNESSING. and officially says it's OK to net-witness, the
guidelines will probably be VERY restrictive and the recruitment
numbers will not be impressive.
Which might require a quick-change of policy(more new light anyone?)

Having visited some pro-witness sites , I find it to be a hot topic.
many people are currently "getting their hours" this way!
This is a LOOPHOLE that I personally think the society will
not like, and will do something about.

Since an informed witness is an ex-witness it seems that they
would not want their members on the net.
But if they come right out and DEMAND IT, (that witnesses
should not surf) that will be headline NEWS. (in our favor)
and they would loose a member or two.

Any suggestions on how to speed-things-up?
I thought maybe a bumper-sticker that read:
BE A PIONEER... COUNT YOUR CYBER-TIME!
I can just hear regular pioneers snide remarks about
"cyber-pioneers" not being as spiritual as they are.
(divide and conquer)
