Dratt I missed it . Oh well I guess I've seen plenty on this board to get a good idea where people opposed to the WT stand .

stichione-- Apparently only fair reports come from the WT as they blow their own horn with a bunch rhetoric to convince themselves that they are the only ones that understand how a good christian is supposed to live .. A bunch of hypocrites they are

>>The active JW's watching TV tonight will be surprised when they see themselves in the spotlight. How do you think the average JW will react when watching the program? Will they think that it's all lies, or do you think they will believe a good part of it?<<

I hope someone recorded it and made it available online somehow!

Hey mouthy, we made sure that everything was finished here so we could watch the show without interruption and you are so right. The show was excellent and we emailed CBC to express our gratitude. Love to all,Tanya!

Any main points for those of us overseas?

Thanks, Kwiji.

I second that. Due to my really bad connection, it would take me all day to download it. Anyone got a script online?

Any Jehovah's Witness who is faithful to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is indoctrinated to categorize all information which presents the Jehovah's Witnesses in a bad light as slanderous campaigns brought about by the wicked works of Satan.

Hypocritically, Jehovah's Witnesses cite quotes from the very same media alleged to be the agents of Satan whenever a comment praises the Jehovah's Witnesses, and of course, this is acceptable.

BAD MEDIA COVERAGE = work of Satan the Devil

GOOD MEDIA COVERAGE from the very same magazines and journalists = acceptable praise ( I guess praise from Satan's minions is a good thing?

Conveniently, the most damning evidence of the Jehovah's Witnesses' fanaticism is presented in their own published literature:

The Watchtower, March 1st 2003 Issue, Study Article "Be Courageous and Strong!"
Paragraph 6:
"We also need courage when opposers maneuver the media into spreading bad reports about God's servants or when they try to restrict true worship by 'scheming trouble by decree' (Psalm 94:20) For example, how should we feel when newspapers, radio, or television reports about Jehovah's Witnesses are distortions or outright falsehoods? Should we be shocked? No. We expect such things. (Psalm 109:2) And we are not surprised when some believe the published lies and distortions, since 'anyone inexperienced puts faith in every word' (Proverbs 14:15) Still, loyal Christians refuse to believe just any statement made about their brothers, and they certainly do not allow bad publicity to cause them to miss Christian meetings, to slow down in the field ministry, or to waver in their faith. On the contrary, they 'recommend [themselves] as God's ministers'..."
Paragraph 20:
"Of course, persecution itself is not pleasant, but our standing firm despite persecution, including slanderous reports in the media, is a cause for rejoicing. It means we are pleasing Jehovah and will receive a reward."
-------------------------------------
Jehovah's Witness Preacher speaking at a Jehovah's Witness Convention, as was shown on the Australian Sunday Program "Silent Witnesses" on September 22nd 2002:
"The media out there, with all its power and its might, it presents human nature in three Ds, three Ds - debauchery of every kind, deception of every kind and demonism of every kind - and we need to be aware of that."
-------------------------------------
The Watchtower, September 15th 2002 Issue, Pages 16-18:
"In the first century, such individuals as Hymanaeus, Alexander, and Philetus, were advocating ideas that did not fit "the pattern of healthful words." (1 Timothy 1:18-20; 2 Timothy 2:16, 17) How could the early Christians avoid being led astray by apostates? By carefully studying the inspired writings and applying them in life. Those walking in accord with the example they had in Paul and other faithful ones were able to recognize and reject anything that did not conform to the pattern of truth they had been taught. (Philippians 3:17; Hebrews 5:14)
Instead of being "mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words," they continued moving ahead in their positive course of godly devotion. (1 Timothy 6:3-6) We do the same thing when we keep on putting into practice the truths we have learned...."
"Satan tries to break our integrity through the sowing of doubts about what we have been taught. Today, as in the first century, apostates and others seek to destroy the faith of guileless ones. (Galatians 2:4; 5:7, 8)
Sometimes they have used the media to spread distorted information or even outright lies about the methods and motives of Jehovah's Witnesses...."
"....Whatever stumbling blocks were involved, some evidently preferred falsehoods over the truths of God's Word. Soon they stopped practicing the things they had learned, and this was to their own spiritual detriment. -2 Peter 3:15, 16"
"We can avoid turning aside to false stories today if we scrutinize and are selective about what we listen to and what we read.... "And modern-day apostates keep on trying to sow seeds of doubt in order to subvert the faith of Christians.... So we need to be careful."
"....If our ears are inclined towards disgruntled ones, we need to analyze ourselves prayerfully. (Psalm 139:23, 24) Are we inclined to find fault with Jehovah's people? If so, why?...."
"Rather than being critical, let us maintain a spiritually healthy view of the information received through personal study and congregation meetings. (1 Corinthians 2:14, 15) And instead of questioning God's Word, how much wiser it is to have the attitude of the first-century Beroeans who examined the Scriptures closely! (Acts 17:10, 11) Then, let us act on what we learn, turning down false stories and clinging to the truth."
---------------------------------------------------
The Watchtower, August 1st 2001 Issue:
Influenced by the Media?
Maybe the media have greatly influenced your beliefs. Most people are glad that there is freedom of speech in the media, giving them access to information that can be useful. However, there are powerful forces that can and frequently do manipulate the media. What is often presented is biased information that can insidiously affect your thinking.
In addition, to appeal to or to attract a larger audience, the media tend to give publicity to what is sensational and unconventional. What could hardly be said or printed for public consumption just a few years ago has become commonplace today. Slowly but surely, established standards of behavior are attacked and whittled away. People's thinking is gradually becoming distorted. They begin to believe that "good is bad and bad is good."-Isaiah 5:20; 1 Corinthians
6:9, 10.
-------------------------------------
The Watchtower, November 1st 2002 Issue, Page 17:
"Unfortunately, some "unreasonable men" in authority persecute us or oppose us in other ways - such as by promoting smear campaigns against us. Still, in Jehovah's due time, their lies are always exposed, and their "ignorant talk" is effectively muzzled."

So, it is indisputable fact that the Watchtower Society directs it's members to dismiss any evidence (factual accounts included) as false reports and smear campaigns against the Society.

After all, as instructed in their literature, it is unacceptable for a Jehovah's Witness to even possess an independent thought.

August 1st, 2001 Watchtower
second study article : How to Make Your Advancement Manifest
paragraphs 8 + 9
First, since oneness is to be observed, a mature Christian must be in unity and full harmony with fellow believers as far as faith and knowledge are concerned. He does not advocate or insist on personal opinions or harbor private ideas when it comes to Bible understanding. Rather, he has complete confidence in the truth as it is revealed by Jehovah God through his Son, Jesus Christ, and the faithful and discreet slave. By regularly taking in the spiritual food provided at the proper timethrough Christian publications, meetings, assemblies, and conventionswe can be sure that we maintain oneness with fellow Christians in faith and knowledge.Matthew 24:45.
Second, the expression the faith refers, not to the conviction that each individual Christian professes, but to the totality of our belief, the breadth and length and height and depth of it. (Ephesians 3:18; 4:5; Colossians 1:23; 2:7) In fact, how can a Christian be in oneness with fellow believers if he only believes or accepts a certain part of the faith? This means that we must not be content with knowing just the basic teachings of the Bible or having just hazy or partial knowledge of the truth. Rather, we should be interested in taking advantage of all of Jehovahs provisions through his organization to dig deeply into his Word. We must endeavor to gain as accurate and as full an understanding of Gods will and purpose as possible. This includes taking the time to read and study the Bible and Bible publications, to pray to God for his help and guidance, to attend Christian meetings regularly, and to have a full share in the Kingdom-preaching and disciple-making work.Proverbs 2:1-5.

Conclusively, Jehovah's Witnesses are not even allow to think for themselves. So to those who watched the program, use your instincts and ability for analytical thought. Why would a group not want you to even think for yourself? This is so they can control you. Control and manipulation is one of the telltale signs of a cult.

Educate yourselves.

.....when opposers maneuver the media into spreading bad reports about God's servants or when they try to restrict true worship by 'scheming trouble by decree'...

if there's one conspiracy theory not to be believed it would be this, i mean at least real conspiracy theories have at least some circumstancial evidence.
