Dateline NBC Cult program starting NOW

Elsewhere

I'm not sure which religion or if it is about multiple religions... but Dateline is doing a program about a distructive cult and it is starting right now,

SUNDAY, MAY 16 7:00 p.m. ET
In a Dateline/Court TV exclusive, Keith Morrison reports on a bizarre legal drama in which parents, who belonged to a fanatical religious group, stand trial for the murder of their baby. Had the group?s strange religious beliefs led to this murder? And if so, who was ultimately to blame?

Amazing how close this follows the WTBS and the loyalty that they demand and how blind the people follow the leader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just hope that this will wake up some of the dubs.

this was the case i posted about, that happened locally here. it wasn't supposed to be on till the 28'th.

glad i didn't miss it!

from my previous post... Some years ago, about 4-5 years or so, I was watching tv and dateline was airing something about a religious group based very close to where I live. Attleboro/Seekonk MA. They didn?t say who the group was for quite a while during the show. As I watched it I thought, maybe its about JW?s. could have been because there was nothing giving me any reason to think it wasn?t. but then they showed a tent in a back yard and that was the place of worship, and they were jumping around and singing something I didn?t recognize. I knew it wasn?t the dub?s. but I was amazed at first (remember, I was still in the troof at the time) in my thinking that this ?cult? could have been jw?s. J I guess that was a lead in to the things I REALLY found out a few years later.

Anywhoo?. This show is about how a young mother, Karen Robidoux, had let her child starve to death. (the name is ok to put here, as it?s a matter of public record, and the trail is now over. This had allot of newspaper and local tv coverage up until recently, as the case has been resolved) Her trial concluded recently. The people I mentioned above were heavily involved with her defense, and recovery from that cult she was in. dateline will be covering her story as well as others. I don?t know the ?exact? venue of the show. I just have the knowledge that this show will be about cults, and the power they have over their followers, even to the point of letting a child die from lack of nutrition, (or a blood transfution-as is the case with jw's).

Watching it as we e-speak! Very interesting!

Kind of the same thing that happened to faithful Witnesses in Malaui, but what happened to them was in a much larger scale.

SY, same as DY
