Watchtower / Jackson video site issue -- an update

    I surely don't want to beat a dead horse but this one's still breathing. The WTS needs to be held responsible. They have tax-free status in our U.S.A. -- a position that certainly should not / must not be extended to organizations which are guilty of fraud.

    They are dishonestly (interpret that to mean fraudulently) saying things that are not true on the Gail-Bethea Jackson video site. Correction -- it is their site , not hers.

    Recall, when she found out about their posting of her video, she voiced strong objections about their behavior in her letter to me. She claims that statements she made in an hour-long taping session, condensed to 1-1/2 minutes for public consumption, were taken out of context. I have no reason to disbelieve her assertion. Why? The WTS has been proven to have done such a dastardly thing before -- and not just once.

    I mailed, several hours ago, a letter to Watchtower. You may see a copy of it below. Not that I expect a reply from them, nor am I naïve enough to expect any action from them. I do feel that responsible citizens need to inform such corporations of alleged fraudulent statements to give them opportunity to make corrections.

    If Watchtower persists in such fraud (I will monitor that site for one week) I will follow up with letters to my respective U.S. Senators from the state of Arkansas. If you feel as strongly as I do there is nothing to prevent you from doing the same.

    ps: I also posted this letter to page 6 of that thread ("They (WT) took me out of context", Gail Bethea-Jackson video) mentioned above. Reason? There are several external sites which link to it and I think it would be helpful for folks looking at it to see some progress in the matter.

    Is she going to contact them? She might have more of a say with the watchtower than you do.

    Don't worry, they'll be taking it down sooner or later. Their website is not their #1 priority and I think that has more to do with it than anything. I also believe they simply don't want to empower "apostates" with the idea that they are able to be affected by them.

    The WTS has a very blunt policy about ignoring those they consider to be apostates. If people on the outside can force them into action they can appear weak. Taking this video down after a long peroid of time has elapsed would take away some of the sting.

    I like having it up. It just proves their Jackassery.

    You may be right, sspo.

    That may be true, Drew. I haven't seen that policy since I'm out of their loop. I just love to go where I'm not wanted, but guess who taught me that?

    If it doesn't come down, I'm just itching to let my senators know about it. They, too, may get sick and tired of hearing from me as well. We'll see.

    Super excellent work Fatfreek !!!

    Have you ever sent news releases to the media? Newspapers? TV Stations?

    Householders need to be made aware of such deception.

    Good one, Avishai.

    Their Catch-22 situation is what makes this so entertaining. Either way, they can't win. Meanwhile, they can squirm.

    No. It may not be REAL news until they've demonstrated their refusal to take it down or change it. Just my take on it.

    Hey, congratulations on number 100, Billy!
