well, having attended the book study this week, we started the first few chapters in the new brochure, "keep on the watch" .
and, as predicted by myself, the brother taking the study blames the catholic church for all the sexual abuse.
another classic example of the ostrich mentality.
Evil Force,
They mentioned on the show that they showed it before, they are just showing it again to show how the ex-jw's that got abused are coping today.
And also it doesn't really matter if they show it over again.... hopefully one day the message would get put across to the jw's in the org. But they probebly constider T.V satanic which is trying to mis-lead them!

just thought i'd send a link to a transcript of a sunday program on channel 9 that aired on australia yesterday morning.
it was a great tribute to the plight of numerous silent lambs who have fallen victim to the failed policies of the wtbts.
it was a good investigative journalism piece, and also touched on the high level of indoctrination that followers are subject to.. anyway here is the link to the intro... http://sunday.ninemsn.com.au/sunday/cover_stories/article_1789.asp.
Look at this thread frog, http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/91532/1.ashx
and the one titled "Ozzies post #135"

I saw that show sunday morning! it was very interesting, that afternoon i already posted about it, but without the link cause I didn't know about the website.
I feel sorry for the poor people who got abused, Frog did you watch the program or just saw the website?
The Sunday news literally called their meetings "brainwashing" I thought that was rather funny!
The elder suggested the people see a counsellor outside the org (he was bacially cornered!) But I though Jw's wern't allowed to do that!

after reading jt stumbler's topic on avatars, i recognised that certain avatars appeal to me, and i'm sure others feel the same.... .
elsewhere (no idea why, gimme a clue), ezekiel3 (says a lot), euphemism (loved the marx bros) and googlemagoogle (so classical) spring to mind, oh, ip_sec's last avatar (the red pyramid) - want to revert back ip_sec?
oh, and stillajwexelder - after reading your posting on jt stumbler's thread i realise i previously had the wrong impression - lol.
I like talesins and satanists the cats eyes are cool! or are they tiger eyes.... well I love cats and tigers they're sooo adorable!

well, what a week!
health problems have been our overriding concern but, as the song says, "i'm still standing!
how's things been with you?
Oh and for the vote, I never went to a kingdom hall but I can imagine that two and a half hours of constant blah blah blah blah blah..... would be rather boring, I'll have to gathotape my mouth so I won't rebut all the speakers arguments!
I'll try to sneak in a discmen or an mp3 player if I ever get court up with one of those meetings! crikey! talk about borring..... Id rather listen to Evanescence music!

Here in Oz we've 'enjoyed' watching yet another TV program exposing the WT empire, again on the issue of its protection of paedophiles and its harsh treatment of abuse victims.
Hi ozzie! glad to see a great Australian bloke like you!
What show are you referring to? the one sunday morning on channel nine? I saw that! I wish I taped it! I could of taken it down to the kingdom hall, i've heard that they are constantly blaming the catholics on sex abuse. If they raised that on me i'll just wave the tape around!
Does the kingdom hall have a tv or vhs? if not..... BUGGA!
did u tape it by any chance? we should request they show it again... highly doubtful though.....

what's the best way to get to people to expose the watchtower's lies??
tell the truth.
point out how jws are a cult.
I was thinking in the future to get someone or myself toi make a movie and base it on a true story, I'll just have to hunt down an ex-jw who is willing and their life story on the organistion really shows how deadly the religion is...
Thats a way to express it, I also love to songwrite so I'm thinking of writing songs related to ex-jws or jws getting abused and too afraid to speak up.
Just in peace not war.... to stop this jw religion from harming people.

i would laugh my ass off and slam the door in their face.
this really happened to a friend of mine a long time ago.
