    Anderson Cooper of CNN made supportive comments of the film "Knocking" and Jehovah's Witnesses in general. Evidently blogs are not letting him get by with it. Check out this story on World Forum ... they really did a good job of hitting on the Pedophile issue, taking note of recent legal decisions against the Watchtower Society:

    Let's hope that CNN and other major networks will do some good journalistic investigative work and report the ex-JW side of the issue, especially the side of the child victims, to the main stream media ... so that the public at large can see that what is "knocking" at their door may not be an earnest Bible Student.

    I'm glad this got posted. It provides an opportunity to review this business of sounding the drums in favor of sending a message everytime there is a newspaper or television article about JWs. The problem is that any village idiot who is made aware of the story can send in a response. If you click on the link to the World Forum where Cooper is being taken to task, you find a coherent and well written essay on the anchorman's flawed position. Following that are half a dozen comments either in support or in opposition to the essay.

    One of anti-dub comments is so badly written and poorly thought out that it drew a response from a dub - which in itself was not very well done... but it DID point out some inaccuracies in the aforemention post and that is all most dubs need to see/hear in order to dismiss this whole thing.

    I suppose someday there will be a group of volunteers who will can serve as a clearinghouse for all these personal comments, edit and distill them into effective public affairs messages, and be the official "response team" whenever a one-sided dub piece appears in the media. When that happens, we will have "grown up" in terms of providing effective opposition to this cult. Until then, I suppose we have to settle for a free-for-all.

    I just saw this post and had already posted on the other thread:

    http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/8/123391/1.ashx

    I posted a link to Anderson Cooper for all those interested in writing him at CNN....

    Edited to add from other post:

    I just sent an e-mail to Anderson Cooper at CNN...

    If anyone decides to send in their comments, please be sure it's well-written, not argumentative (so we don't look like a bunch of nuts) and it shows a respectfulness for Anderson Cooper. That way, I think he'll be in a better frame of mind to look at the pedophile issue.

    Does anyone have a link to this program where he supported Knocking? I'm not finding it on CNNs website.

    Thanks,

    It's at this link, on the Knocking web site. Scroll down where it says "What are professionals saying about Knocking" He's not the only media-type with a good comment, but he's the most well-known.
