What I sent to my email contacts
by BlackSwan of Memphis inhi 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???

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 -

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.

Crumpy: thanks Crumpy.
I have had three people contact me that I had known in the past. A couple of others whom might have crossed my path, but we couldn't recall precisely. I, if you might have noticed, am quite the same person in real life as here, and so it pretty easy to identify me if you ever knew me or my location.
Yep.
Two were friendly. Another was a cyber-stalker [likely a local Jw], who then disapeared into the fog of cyberdom to lurk silently I suppose.
Cyber stalker huh? Isn't that nice?! But two vs one is not too bad.
Of course with me - if you want to know who I am I will give you my address and number and a damned map. That's just me.

Ah, you're open about that. I know at first I was really nervous. But now, since I am always looking for someone, I would rather people know me and where I'm at so they can find me.
And psst I think I still have your address from last years Xmas Card exchange
