Silentlambs Media on VCR

    Has anyone put together all the major silentlambs TV coverage on one VCR cassette?

    If not, I need to get the Dateline, Panorama, Connie Chong and hopefully the Aussie Silent Witnesses (this Sunday) programs all together on one or two VCR video cassettes. If someone has all or any of these of good quality that they can send me I would appreciate, pay postage, whatever it takes. Once all together perhaps we could find some economical means of copying them for others. I have digital copies of most of these but do not know how to convert them to analog for a Video cassette. As hard as it may be to believe, many do not have computers.

    The problem with most of our friends is that because of WT confidentiality for child molesters the rank and file do not believe molestation is truly a problem in the congregation. Although they have been warned not to believe what they see in the media, I think those with their head half way straight will see some truth in these broadcasts if they had a chance to see them.

    Do we have it together already? If not can anyone help me?

    jst2laws,

    Unfortunately, I do not have them recorded on one tape, however, I have put the Transcripts of the silentlambs Television Programs (DATELINE, PANORAMA, CONNIE CHUNG, & MORE) ALL TOGETHER (along with ALL of the silentlambs News Stories) on One Web Page, which you can Print Out, at this Address: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=35836&site=3

    I hope this helps you!

    UnDisfellowshipped,

    I saw your thread. A lot of work and a good job. Still I'm looking for each of the broadcasts on tape for the visual and emotional impact the testimony delivers.

    If you have some of these and others have the rest then we just need someone to put them all together. I'm willing to do it but do not know much about it.

    Let me know if you can share a copy of what you have.

    I have the Connie Chung video on tape, as well as the local coverage we go in the news here in Seattle.

    E-mail me about it.

    Hi Jst2: I did videotape Dateline when it was on, onto a VCR tape. I do not have a second VCR or any way to make a copy of it. But I'd be willing to send you guys my original so you could copy it, if you wanna, and then you could copy it and send it back to me (hopefully with additions of Panorama, Connie Chung, etc. on it, maybe eh?)

    (I don't have cable TV either, so I watched Panorama and Connie Chung online via computer, which was a blessing! But I don't know how nor do I have the proper equipment to download online video to store on a VCR or CD, etc.)

    I finally created a yahoo address so my email is now "OPEN FOR BUSINESS."

    Hi again Jst2 and/or everybody: Here's a list of all actual TV-Coverage for Silentlambs that I am aware of, just for the record. I just posted this info at another thread about these programs:
    http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=37044&site=3
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Is there anyway you "knowledgeable" guys (Trauma_Hound, Simon, Bill, etc.) would be able to make a Central Docking Station/page in order to bring ALL of the video/TV media programs into ONE download site? Merely for the sake of "ORGanization"! If not, and just for everyone's FYI, here are the other TV spots SIlentlambs has received (which I am aware of, there could be others -- all input appreciated from "those who were there"!):

    PS: Simon has Dateline and Panorama here: ftp://intesoft.homeip.net

    Connie Chung Tonight, CNN TV segment on 8-14-02: http://www.seattle-chat.com/video/index.php and then hit download. It's also here: http://mmesa.net/cnn-interview_bill-bowen.wmv
    And/or you can read the transcript here: http://www.silentlambs.org/

    German TV magazine KONTRASTE ( http://www.kontraste.de) broadcasted a very well researched report on child abuse within the JW community. The report was only 10 min long, but it was German prime time - the very first topic after the most watched daily news magazine. KONTRASTE (Contrasts) is very reputable TV magazine. Two victims were interviewed and a JW spokesman. This was on or about 7-15-02.

    DAVID LETTERMAN joked re: the JW sex abuse scandal in his monologues on Monday and Tuesday nights, July 15 and 16, 2002. Previously, you could see the monlogues yourself, at Letterman's website here: http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/ and click on "Dave's Monologue" in the DAVE-TV box. However, I do not know if this ability expired shortly after each monologue. Is there any way to get video-clips of BACK monologues? Are there copyright issues?

    Panorama BBC also did a brief 7-minute news announcement the afternoon before that evening's programming on 7-14-02. I'm not sure if this is one of those listed at your download site, Simon. But here's the info just in case:
    Jehovah's Witnesses and child abuse The Jehovahs witnesses are the latest in a succession of religious groups to come under attack for the way they have responded to allegations of child sex abuse within their ranks. A Panorama investigation to be shown on BBC1 tonight (Sunday) reveals that a number of legal actions against the organization are underway in America, but the problem is not confined to that country. Report by Panorama's Shabnam Grewal. Listen here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/realmedia/sunday/s20020714g.ram (7m 21s)

    Then, of course, Panorama/BBC had that "Question & Answer" show the next morning of 7-15-02: The Jehovah's Witnesses are accused of having a "child protection policy" that protects paedophiles. You can ask our panel about the organisation, its policies and how child abuse should be dealt with in a live forum on Monday 15 July at 14:00 BST, to be shown on this page and on Digital Satellite television.

    Re: the other remaining cities on the original SilentLambs Press Conference list, I do not know if these Press Conference cities received TV-News coverage at their local stations, or if anyone taped any possible TV-News coverage to a VCR tape. Anyone?
    Atlanta, GA
    Louisville, KY (where Bill was)
    ST Louis, MO
    Dallas, TX
    Salt Lake City, UT
    Sacramento, CA
    Los Angles, CA
    Virginia
    Maine

    I do know, from a thread at this site, that DOWNEY, CA TV covered the placement of lambs at the local KH. Whether that TV coverage was AIRED, or whether anyone has a copy of it, I do not know: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=36741&site=3

    UK Silentlambs
    Any TV News Coverage of Bill's visit 9-11-02 thru 9-17-02, approx.?

    http://sunday.ninemsn.com.au/sunday/cover_stories/article_1149.asp
