In Between Days Asked:

Any ideas from anyone when the time slot will be for Brisbane?

It will be the same time here as the rest of the country The program starts at 9.am but I am not certain what time out show starts .... I watch the program every week anyway so I haven't worried about asking

It's been a real long up hill battle to get one ot the programs to pick this up. I was over joyed when Kirstine contacted me from the Sunday Program making tenative inquiries about it and did I know anyont in the country she could talk to ..... DID I???!!!

After I sent out my first call to possible sacrificial lambs who would talk publicly I gave her the alias e-mail address of people like Ozziepost because of his background in the borg. They told me they really enjoyed Mr's Ozzies cuppas and Ozzies humour during their two hours there.

While it was sad that people are so scared to talk publicly, between us all we were able to get enough material together to get a good story going and we now have enough for follow up stories which they want to do.

I really want to thank Ozzie and all the others who co-operated with Channel 9 and were able to provide information for them that they would not normally get. It is only by speaking out that we can beat this thing.

And for any still thinking about speaking out, please know that you will be protected. Channel 9 have bent over backwards to keep identities secret for those who want to keep it that way, and will continue to do so. they realise that once they break trust, they will be known for that and they lose future stories.

Meanwhile, I am now working with them on another one involving child abuse in another cult here in Oz .... this is also based in the USA and is truly brutal to the children. Keep you eyes open.

I would invite all the Brizzies over for a celebration breakfast this Sunday to watch the progrma but the grandson is rapidly coming out in chickenpox .....

We hope more will come next month and that this will take off .... it is a great way to meet with other x's in a non threatening setting.

Aussie Media Interested in Child Abuse stories

by Jang in

the australian media are starting to take interest in the jw abuse stories.. .

the sunday program on channel nine wrote me and asked:.

i am currently looking into child abuse allegations in the jehovah's witness church.

Jang

The Australian media are starting to take interest in the JW abuse stories.The Sunday program on Channel Nine wrote me and asked:

I am currently looking into child abuse allegations in the Jehovah's Witness church. I was wondering if you have heard of any allegations, one way or another on this topic. And if you had any contact with either victims or disaffected church elders that I might be able to get in contact with.

Any one willing to speak up here in OZ .... even those who may want to hide
their identity .....? If you can speak openly please do so. Lets get things moving here too!
Please contact me if you would like to be involved and we can discuss how to protect you at the same time. I don't like people who are trying to protect their identity being exploited and there are ways to make sure this does not happen.

If you have not had much experience with the media I am happy to help you get the best out of the interview by passing on what I have learnt this last 20 years.
