Elton, please do not give up. You are right, we all very busy with our day to day lives and responsibilities, which is why I am so glad you are spearheading this mission.

You said "I feel I am asking too much from people that certainly have other things in their lives."

Do not forget, Dennis and so many other children have given their lives.

I believe the problem with this cult is the members are trained to hide any negative images. JWs are trained to be PR agents, careful to never let the bad side show, "don't bring shame upon Jehovah's organization." As a result, people only see the squeaky clean image the JWs want you to see, and people outside really believe they are doing the right thing by defending JWs and their right to religion.

I appreciate Gary Curry's statements when he says freedom to religion is not freedom to "beat my child, starve my child, refuse medical care for my child, let my child die." all in the name of religion.

Elton, I am busy with my job, school and two little children, but I can offer you my support and encouragement.


Love, Mel
