WOW!!!!!!!!!
I'm still reeling (and I bet a few JWs are too!)
Kudos to the Panorama team! That bit with Ted J - they made him look like a complete a**hole!
Not the sensationalist style of Dateline but my God was that hard-hitting or what?! I loved the way that they took it to the top and made it clear that it was the organisation policies that were at fault as well as a**hole elders!
WELL DONE PANORAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic, absolutely fantastic but very heart wrenching to watch.
Getting one of them to talk on camera by waylaying them as they got down from the platform at a DC was a brilliant idea.
Typical apostate rubbish Dormouse.
Leave it to Jehovah!
Seriously, I loved watching Jaracz squirm like that. And to a woman reporter! Now what did he say:
...mm...."You're from Britain, aren't you? You have privacy laws, don't you? (WE DO NOT!) Don't go beyond what is written....don't go beyond what is written."
Englishman chortling merrily.
Dang, I only caught a bit of the program! What went on with Teddy J?
6of9: You can watch it on your computer if you have Real Player. I think it will be available for 7 days to watch, and it was FANTASTIC! I loved the way they had so many shots in front of the actual KHalls... and it was so kewl the way the lady reporter called Gilles from her cell phone standing in front of the KHall... and I also loved, as stated above, how they made themselves at home at the DC until TJ got through speaking and stepped off the platform. I just wonder if they had their big cameras with them, and how that was even allowed? and the bros/sis sitting in the audience at the DC must have been wondering what in the world was going on... The law officers who were on the program were also SUPERB! And not to forget, too, the victims who all expressed themselves so WELL! Important, too, is how the police officers made it clear that elders harassing or trying to tamper with the victim will not be tolerated as that would be obstructing justice.
Here's the link which will download to your computer the file which, if you have the Real Player, will play it on your desktop, it's about 37 minutes long: <a href=" http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/audiovideo/programmes/panorama/newsid_2114000/2114320.stm"; target="_new"> http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/audiovideo/programmes/panorama/newsid_2114000/2114320.stm;
And here's a (Real Player) AUDIO of a newscast, 7 minutes long, before the show aired, and it is also VERY GOOD as some comments/details are stated in it that were not on the visual program: Report by Panorama's Shabnam Grewal.

And what exactly was the warm compassionate and loving response for the directior of WT policy on child molestation?
silentlambs
BP: Were from the BBC Panorama programme.
BP: Tell me about the database. How do you justify keeping a list of paedophiles, men in some cases who have confessed to paedophilia but you have not reported them to an authority. What justification is there for you to keep that?
TJ: You know, you are from Britian. You have privacy law. A directive from the European Union. You observe that don't you?
BP: So if allegations are made of child abuse, its alright to keep them private?
TJ: I think that question has been answered to your satisfaction.
BP: Could you just answer it now?
TJ: I'm not going to repeat, I'm just going to tell you, you can see it all in writing. You know the Bible says do not go beyond the things that are written. We do not go beyond the things that are written.
I just watched the Panorama program as I had taped it! AWESOME!!!!!
What a great job they did, staying so calm, making no accusations at all, my blood would boil after T.J.'s comment!!
My goodness, it's even worse than I thought! What a bunch of brainwashed Morons!!
I wish I could do something to help those abused kids!
Take care...
