    You don’t really mean that, do you?

    Bill does not claim to speak for God. He has not threatened any of us who may doubt his announcements with excommunication from this board or similar reprisals.

    If I still thought like a JW I might think that the big hoop-la over the Catholic Church has obscured the JW story and was therefore a plot by Satan himself to “protect his organization.”

    I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind. What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted. Solomon

    Sam, what I do mean is that the proof is in the pudding. So far I have seen nothing on the Dateline website, or from any other source that would indicate this is really going to happen. Stick with that whole Satan plotting to distract the world from seeing the JWs for what they are. I'm sure you'll end up on dateline as well. I am in no way against what Bill is doing, and in fact, think its a very noble and upstanding thing to do. I'm just too sarcastic to believe anything without being able to see the light bulb at the end of the tunnel.

    Sincerely,

    Gee Wiz quipped:

    Valis,
    you got a severe sunburn or what?

    He was BURNED by your Fav Kult, Wizzy.

    'Course that's just about a 'given' here with so many having been
    at the very least singed by their involvement in the Watchtower.

    I aksed about this as well, I asked: "Is this thing for real or is it a hoax? It's been so loooooooooooooooooong in coming."

    You hoping it never comes?
    Save your Kult from Big Time Bad PR.

    Wiz say: "I aksed" ...hmmm. phonetically that sounds like "AXED"...
    double-hmmm. was dat your Freudian Slip Showing?
    You WANT the Dateline Expose "axed", huh?

    It is more likely to occur that your WatchtowerArmageddon(tm).

    Hey, I've got PEEKTURES of WT'A'. Wanna see? Wanna see?

    LOve, Tallyman

    Thanks Bill - I know you have and continue to put a lot of time and effort into this and there are a lot of people who greatly appreciate it.

    It's obvious that the WTS will try everything it can to try and prevent it being shown. The delays are frustrating as it's so eagerly anticipated.

    I’m beginning to think that the 'American television Media’ doesn’t recognize any influence the WTBTS might have as being in the same league as the Catholic Church, let alone consider the WTBTS Corporation as being a serious ‘religion'.

    The television, advertising executives may be of the opinion that most viewers would find the alleged programming as bland as exposing the infidelities of a few ‘loose screws’ who incidentally, might be unpaid workers for, but are legally separate from ‘Religious Organization Inc.’ and not nearly as sensational as nailing questionable Priests, as legal representatives of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, to the crux of their problems.

    I have read some of your posts and threads. You are doing a great job.

    Bible examiner - hello and sorry I cannot phone you. Please have patience with this TV show. Remember what you accomplished with your wife took years.

    I hope it airs soon for the sake of the victims of child abuse in all religions.

    As with most matters that we discuss here, I see this as more of a general problem, not a Watchtower Society specific problem.

    My bet is that there are good smiling Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians etc. that are just as guilty as the witnesses for trying to keep child abuse under wraps. Its a dirty subject that people don't want to think about.

    Maybe an airing of information about Jehovahs Witnesses will shock parents of every religion into making sure their children are safe and not being fooled by ultra religious men who are just trying to get at their kids or be pressured by holy men into keeping things secret that need to be exposed to the light.

    Hawk. You seriously need to consider making a web-based email, like at say Yahoo.

    Anyway, hope you and yours are fine. Soon, I might be in the p-line. depends on how contract talks go.

    Bx,

    I would love to use a web Email but that is a problem for me too - long story.

    My buddy and I our fine but we are really poor right now - hehehehe. And to top it off - I have been put into picket captain duty and have been forced to do a lot of union work that the average dude doesn't have too.

    I sure hope you don't have this p-line headache - If you do I promise to come walk with you. I would have phoned you but your phone number is on the wall in my office!
