I just got off the phone with Jennifer McIntosh {Ms. Jones was unavailable} and was told that the CPBS {Corporation [FOR] PBS} is not the same as PBS.
And that ITVS {Independant Television Services} is whom we should be directing our concerns to, as well as CPBS:
ITVS-Jim Summers {415-356-8383 ext. 242} www.itvs.org/producers/funding.html
CPBS {202-879-9600} http://www.cpb.org/
Board Members are listed here:

She stated too, that there have been a few calls already and is re-directing them to these numbers.
Also, she stated that this particular doc has not even been reviewed yet. There may be a good chance it never airs on PBS.
Yet, as you see on their info hyperlink, there will indeed be a DVD which won't be the same as the PBS program...if and when it airs.
I personally doubt it will ever air. A dvd maybe, but not a public documentary.

You rock, Hawk! :D
Alan and Barbara, thanks for your erudition.
The above information will certainly help me compose my own protest letter. And SHOULD the "documentary" air, I'll be happy to participate (as I am able) in physical protests and letters to the press at the local affiliate level.

Thank you for your kind comments and thank all of you for all of the ideas.
I sent my letter via Email to PBS instead of the Corporation for PBS since the documentary was to air on PBS. CPBS includes other government funded broadcasting which includes but is not limited to NPR etc.
Either way I think the message will get there seeing I sent it to the president and vice-presidents of PBS. If they are anything like the government, the particular branch re-directs the letter to the correct branch for a response.
I note that as of today I have not heard back from the knocking producer who I copied on the Email.
We shall see what happens.

Just an FYI, Joel wrote an article in the Nov. 6 1996 Science Christian Monitor about JW's in Nazi Germany. Not sure if it would help prove non-objectivity to PBS since treatment of JW's is obviously been his "pet project" for over 10 years. Can anyone who have access to their archives access this article?

Kwin,
His mother is a JW, and his motives are suspect.

KNOCKING takes a balanced approach. It does not promote nor does it denegrate.
That statement alone means that they will be made to seem like regular people. This is a sly WT-styled way of not saying it is promoting - but it will actually be promoting JWs.
