all of the non-jw's that i know were shocked to hear that the jw's consider worldly people to be part of satan's world.
most non-jw's only know that the jw's are holy rollers who go door to door trying to convert.
they really don't know much more about them and to learn this was a bit of an education.. devon

I got a telephone call from the producer of Dateline telling me that my
interview had to be cut (so there is no longer any cult /mind control angle
to the story). This is particularly infuriating since I met with the
producer and the executive producer a year ago and received personal
assurances that I would be the ³cult expert² when I brought them the story.
Of course, they also promised that they would run the story in timely way.
With 9/11 everything got pushed back, I was told.Another example of how media betrayal. Anyway, I hope the story helps alert
people to the horror of the Watchtower Society policies and the courage of
people like Bill Bowen at silentlambs.org.Steve Hassan
last night i printed out an announcement about the nbc dateline show, and a silentlambs tri-fold flyer off the website.. armed with these flyers, my motorcyle .
i went on my "mission" this morning, to hit as many windshields in the local lincoln, rhode island, and pawtucket, rhode island parking lot as possible.. i managed to hit about 20, before i noticed one of the elders driving up, i was on the street at this point, and i recognized him, and he kept taking double takes at me.
(it was norman barone, for those of you locals who might know him.
We did a mail campaign to let the public know about Dateline. Our letter was directed to non-jw's and was mailed to neighborhoods that the JW's tend to patronize. In addition, we mailed letters to clergy at various churches to inform their congregations about this also. One of the members of our anti-cult team is a member of the Calvary Church which has over 5000 members. His minister was more than happy to mention this at several services.

if they did not know before this past friday's airing of dateline they do now.
dateline previewed this tuesday's show.
my jw mom calls me the next morning to tell me about it.
The phone call I know is pre-damage control. She says right off the bat, "well at least there not paying people off to keep their mouths shut!"(Like the Catholics)
At least the Catholics didn't excommunicate those who came forward.

watchtower spin doctors!.
dr. gail bethea-jackson tells us that we didn't know what child abuse was 18-20 years ago.
gag on this one!.
This is thoroughly disgusting!!! It makes me so mad to hear this. She doesn't even sound believable.

"we will see you tuesday, at a special time, 8 eastern, 7 central.".
right from the horse's mouth on tonight's show.. that settles it.
Did you see the promo? They compared it to the Catholic Church scandal

!!!!!!YIIIPPPPPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
can any of you posters provide some good links to anticult sites or articles.. i've been to ex-cult.org, fom.com and others but i need something more specific.. i was thinking about anything around the lines of an article explaining in detail any or all of the following:.
1) how cults use decietfull recruting tacktics.
especially how they put on a show for the new converts but only reveal the true doctrines/attitudes after the recruit is hooked;.
