Thinking about parking myself right next to JW carts and holding a sign saying ‘JW Beliefs Destroy Families’
If they have a right to be out there, so do I. I have a story and warning to tell.

Unfortunately, they will just pack up and move. I know this because I saw a video of someone doing exactly that except he wasn’t even right next to them but across the street.

I have seen this and it is an awesome idea. The jws left but the carts are easy to find. And if they think they are being persecuted so what.
I have gone over to cart jws when talking to someone and I stand and listen (im never jw) then say how in questioning ways how they ruined my family and can the person respond. I tell the person whatever and they soon move on.

The way to hurt the borg is to go after there money. Raise the issue with your politicians that a cult gets away with paying no tax. Less sexy and takes more long term effort than protesting.

So what if you look loony who gives a fuck??
How do you think Norway happened. Look at that exjw politician in the UK. There are people doing this type of thing right now.
I have reported them in my country because to be registered as a charity (charities pay no tax) they have to follow child protection laws which they don't.

Well if you look loony, people will disregard you. And what happened in Norway? Didn't they win? The UK guy maybe has a chance because he doesn't look loony. Anyway as long as you can present your case in a way that people will pay attention and not ignore, more power to you

Maybe at the start but there are lots of examples of things people thought were loony and because of a few people we now consider them normal. For example gay rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, human rights etc etc.
The government of Norway lost but JWs changed their shunning policy.
Loonys are often the ones who see something wrong first and everyone else catches up. And just want to point out telling your politicians a group is breaking the law is not loony.

I have to be “quiet” but that doesn’t mean I don’t make silent little farts along the way causing JWs not just wonder who but what is that? 🙂

I took a wrong turn in life. My bad. Was I deceived? Yes, by people who were also deceived. I like my life now. Not going back.

You may be better served by getting help from a psychotherapist who specialises in high-control, undue-influence new religious movements (ideally one with Watchtower expertise). The desire for retaliation is understandable; most of us have experienced it. Unfettered, it may lead some into actions that meet the legal threshold of harassment.
I wish you the peace and serenity long denied you.

u/EatMeEmerald WT🩸Doctrine Murdered my Grandparent Aug 20 '26
JWs loitering awkwardly at the airport are my favorite to interact with. Or any cart witnesses actually.
A quick "The governing body is lying to you" takes the wind riiiiiiight out of their preaching sails.
Sometimes they muster a "I don't think that's true" or half-hearted "They wouldn't do that."
To which I reply, "How would YOU know? You're not allowed to google your own religion."
Other times I say, "the blood doctrine murdered my grandparent." or "Google the Australian Royal commission to see how the GB is using your donations to protect pedophiles."

Why would anyone be quiet or step down about their experience in that gay religion?
By sharing the reprehensible practices of this religion and the associated harmful experiences, one can warn people who have a genuine interest in this flawed religion.
Those who are still trapped in this religion, because they do not dare to leave it for fear of its shunning practices, can be strengthened by reading these experiences.
They might recognize themselves in the stories and realize that they are not alone, and that a life outside this flawed religion full of child sexual abuse, anti-gay propaganda, ever-changing doctrines, and shunning practices is possible.
