is it worse for a teenage girl to be abused by a stranger on the Internet or by someone she knows within the congregation?
If it were my kid, i'd rather she go sneaking out to meet someone from the internet than find out shes sneaking out to go to the KH. If I ever find out my kid has been going to meetings with jw's I'll treat it as if I caught him doing drugs something else equally as dangerous.
Who knows, maybe they'll start trotting out their own little registry of stars like Prince and Serena and Venus Williams to do some commercials too.
lol somehow i dont think they are going to go that far . i still cant picture prince with a haircut, clean shaven and in a conservative suit giving a talk. or better yet how about serena and venus in a below the knee skirt and loose fitting blouse . Jw's......my a$$.
The overwhelming chances are that that cute little boy will have his heart ripped out by his family and friends when he's a little older should he choose to no longer support the WTBTS because of matters of conscience.
His "loving" family will throw him away like trash while they spastically "contribute" and distribute magizines and books in a vain attempt to try and forget about him.
He will feel the uncomfortable sting of utter rejection and his attempts at sharing his love for them will be met with sterile, institutionalized barbarism fomented in the abyss of a "loving" god and dissemenated by his robotic automotons...... once called his family.
But, that's ok. There will be a new generation, and new cutle little boys to play the poster child for the Watch Tower. It's just business.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
This just pisses me off! It is plain out WRONG.....The nerve of them to have a commercial...What the hell is going to be next?

OMG, I am stunned they'd turn to TV to promote that cult! Isn't that a WORLDLY medium being used to spread the word?? And WORLDLY cameras would be used to make the ads. Shame on those hypocrites.
I've caught this commercial a couple of times. I think someone else mentioned it on this forum a while ago and pointed to the jw-media site at least once before, so I saw it on their media site first and was surprised when I first saw it on tv. Both times it was late in the evening. I definitely think it was an overkill for the dangers of the Internet. Definitely there are some predators out there, but the implication was that everyone your child chats with on the Internet is some old creepy guy trying to meet up with kids. And although I have no contact with pre-teens or teens on the Internet in chatrooms, I can't believe most of them use so many silly chat acronyms. My wife, who is still a JW, was watching the second time I saw the PSA. She couldn't believe it was the JW at first either. But I told her the same commercial is on their website.

Thats exactly how i felt when I saw it. They have every right to have a commercial..like someone said the Mormons and the LDS's have theirs but the Society claims all the damn time that they are no part of the world..but its always ok to use the world when its to their advantage.
Hi Flower,
I saw it a while ago...close to a year ago, I think... When I mentioned it to my jw relatives they told me that I was a liar. I had pretty much the same reaction to it as you did.
