    Hawkaw,

    I think I've seen it in a few shops around here.

    This could get interesting, especially as I imagine a lot of people who didn't/couldn't see Dateline may see this article.

    I think I may have to hunt down a copy.

    This link provides just a few facts that you might find interesting - its avg circulation in 2001 was about 3,254,513.

    Circulation was up 3.6 percent and it is ranked as the 15th most popular magazine.

    Thats a lot of homes and doctors/dentists offices folks.

    Keep in mind 7-9 million saw Dateline on May 28, 2002 according to AC Nielson - good for a top 15 finish.

    That is what I was saying up above sf.

    Its great optics because everyone wants to know about the Catholic scandal and now, just to the right in a different coloured background that will catch your eye is the Witness scandal.

    I know David France well now (author of the Catholic Scandal article). Nice guy and he helped get the editor to at least get you this piece in Newsweek. Julie is nice too. Make sure any letter you send - tell them thank you!

    Please don't freak over how small this article is folks. There is also more to come folks. Have patience.

    LETTERS TO THE EDITOR must be sent to [email protected]

    I think newsweek picked a MUCH better 'soundbite' of Bill's than Datelines 'Pedophile Paradise' one,

    "Catholics only protect the priests. Jehovahs Witnesses do it for any member of the church."

    That's just perfect for this article, as well. REALLY brings it home to the average reader. It's like "Hey, you know that scandal going on in the Catholic priesthood? Well, the same thing could be going on with that very JW standing on your doorstep!"

    *ouch*

    Exactly.

    JR Brown even admits that child rapists go to your door. What a thing to admit!!!!

    He may tell you that they are accompanied. But, remember that Witness is untrained and likely doesn't even know that a cunning child rapist is with him/her. Of course the question begs asking - Would you as a parent want a pedophile to come to your door even in the accompaniment of an untrained person?

    As a father of a 6 year old - I know what my answer would be!!!!!

    ...would you like to live in a Pedophile's Paradise?

    Here, I have the Watchtower magazine for you, along with the only book worth your rotten time left here on God's Green Earth, the NewWorld (Translation); our Bible.
