Yea, I still don't get why so many news orgs won't touch the jw/ silentlamb child abuse epidemic. I cannot even tell you how much I've worked at getting it out there and to no avail. I've come to my own conclusion that there must be some reason. I've just to figure that part out.

So YOU were the other one!!!
I thought the same thing as you did---there has to be a reason, so for now 'll let it go and concentrate on other things. There are SO many angles to pursue, it's not that we have a lack of material to work with, LOL!
Guys I think the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the media in the US is due to the relativly small size of the jw's and their rather secritive behaviour.
Although the wbts likes to describe the jw's as a religion of importance and world wide presence, it is virtually unknown by most people.
The wbts has no charitable divisions, avoids the media, has always tried to stay low as regards the government and is of little importance to the average person other than waking people up on saturday mornings.
Other than this, almost no media time is spent on anything to do with the wbts or jw's.
I would think that keeping on with the efforts you and I and others have done, might one day change all this.

I agree with that statement. Still run across people all the time who know little to nothing about the religion and comment that they never knew one. Guess that is a reality check.
Please add Willits, Ca to the list. There was a man there for a while who was a convicted child molester. The elders knew and would not allow anyone to be warned. A sister who was a school bus driver actually had to sneak info to me when she found out that I was letting my kids stay at this childmolester and his wife's house for the afternoon to play with their kids.
I was so mad when I found out. I could not even confront them on it without risking them taking action against the bus driver because she had been told to keep her mouth shut.
Like I said before, these peoples leadership are sick.

you silly, silly girl! Don't you know Jehovah protects his visible organization from such things? make no mistake the day will come when millions find out- Brothers and Sitsers, put on your full suit of armour--the day of persecution is comming. JWs will be put to the test. Stand firm in the truth, knowing that his name will be vindicated.
oh, great, now I have to clean the "sic" off of my desk.
