C'mon guys, do you really think there's going to be some type of announcement from the podium stating that no one is to watch the upcoming episode of Dateline? That would almost seem to guarantee that everyone would have a chance to view the program, especially since I'd bet the large majority of JW's probably aren't even aware of the upcoming Dateline episode.

I think most JW's today are sick of the little "secret" manuals. I remember when I was told I couldn't borrow a sister's pioneer book because I had never pioneered. And I remember when I was told that when my husband was appointed an elder, he had to hide his book. I KNEW (and I mean beyond a doubt) that I absolutely WOULD take a look at whatever book I wanted in the privacy of my own home.
If the WTS tells the JW's not to see the Dateline show, it is like guaranteeing the majority of them WILL SEE IT. The more they prohibit, the more the JW's rebel. At least the younger generation and the teenagers - which will mean less baptisms in the future. Don't you remember how many rated R movies you watched as JW's. I watched whatever I wanted and just didn't tell anyone. If it wasn't in the Bible, I didn't listen. But that was just the way I have always been. And all those elders getting kids in trouble for watching rated R's were sitting home watching them too!
A good point was brought up about the English speaking US people already being a dead end. Wish Dateline could be shown in Spanish too. Maybe someone like Cristina would be interested in a follow-up in Spanish. I think I might write her and give her the heads up about Dateline.

I am not overly concerned with what the fellow dubs will do or ot not do. I am wondering how the folkes at the doors will handle it.
