so the big "national " news release has come and gone.
it was huge in that this time it definitely hit the ears and eyes of witnesses as well as others who know witnesses, or have relatives who are in it .
on a " national " scale this is a lot of people.
My witness family is beyond help. They know very very well about the child abuse problems in the Society and have blatantly looked the other way.
NOW
If Dateline or NightlyNews did a story about embezzling funds (or whatever) that might grab their attention.
if everyone who is signed up for the sectret santa can post a few ideas of the sort of thing you like in here, when people receive their names they can come in here and look you up so get some ideas .

hi all, i emailed many of you the other day with info that nbc was set to air a segment regarding the jehovah's witnesses.that segment finally aired tonight.many of you might not have been able to see it so i'm sending a link i hope you will please take the time to look at.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21917798/ the reality is that over the years when people came forward to report child abuse to their elders, they were told specifically not to report to the police and in many cases when people have gone ahead to take care of matters legally, people have been disfellowshipped or removed from the congregation.
this affects all of us.
Thank you girls!!!
I really really really really hope that my contacts will pass this on.
I mean c'mon think about how often we get those forwards in our inbox.
"Pass this on or you'll have bad luck for 100 years!"
I figure if a person can pass along something like that, they should be able to pass this along right???
Bastards!!!
That's being too freaking kind. I can think of a few more choice words for these .............monsters.

Hi all, I emailed many of you the other day with info that NBC was set to air a segment regarding the Jehovah's Witnesses. That segment finally aired tonight. Many of you might not have been able to see it so I'm sending a link I hope you will please take the time to look at. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21917798/ The reality is that over the years when people came forward to report child abuse to their elders, they were told specifically not to report to the police and in many cases when people have gone ahead to take care of matters legally, people have been disfellowshipped or removed from the congregation. This affects ALL of us. Not just JW's. Everytime a potential child molester has not been reported to the police, this means that the child molester has access to children everywhere. The elders, indeed, the Watchtower Society has known about this and has only finally started to change their policies when it became an issue and they were being called out for it. I've asked you before and I'm asking again, please pass this on. You never know who is talking to a JW at their door and would be too embarrassed to tell their friends. You never know. The only way the media is going to cover this to the extent that they have covered the Catholic Church is if people demand it, so please write into the various media outlets and tell them you want to know more about this! Write NBC and thank them for doing a piece on this and tell them you want to know more! Write your local news and tell them how important this is. In some ways this is worse than the Catholic Church .
The Jehovah's Witnesses silences anyone who dares to question the authority of the Watchtower Society. There are thousands of people who have lost all contact with their family and friends for questioning their beliefs and the manner that the WTS has handled the child abuse. Thanks for taking the time to read this. By passing it on you could honestly be saving a life or a child from abuse. Meagan
lisa myers just reported about 9 cases the society settled out of court.
I heard the last minute of it via phone. I was coming home from last minute Thanksgiving shopping and my hubby calls me with his phone held up to the tv.
So I'm going to check and see if it's online yet.
If not, I hope someone can share.
