Dateline, JW's and Politics
by Quincy in
1. jw
2. friends
a couple of comments about dateline...i think that jw's did not interview because they were embarassed...and simply use the excuse that media is portrayed as satan, because the truth is coming out...another thing.... how can they preach against politics...and run such a political organization...for instance...you have to go thru all this bs just to get answers...and go thru boards...and all this other craziness...the bottom line is....a crime is commited and you should be punished...the victim to be shunned?

what sense does that make....it seeems to me that jws are a very political, hypocritical, and unchristian organization...god is a loving god...not one that wants you to shun or disassociate people....q

did anyone else have the bile come up, when you heard those "kingdom songs" during the dateline show?

it made me feel ill.........and almost like leaving the room.

i wonder why i have such an aversion to anything connected to a kh meeting?

as most of you know, i am an 'undercover brother' (someone who appears to be an exemplary jw but is making strides on escaping).. my wife is a loyal jw.

Response from JW regarding Dateline

"believe me, you didn't get the whole story on dateline.

i don't know any of the people involved who were interviewed, but some of the things that were said, at least by the reporter, did not ring true.

that's just how the entertainment news works, always go for the most sensational.. also, there was no mention that 77,000 elders didn't report pedophilia.

had a long instant message conversation with an elder's wife who knew all about the upcoming dateline show.

they word is being spread that all who appear on dateline have already been df'd.

she then called bill an apostate and said he was forced out as elder.

Family Values
by Quincy in
1. jw
2. friends
if a family member is df....or whatever....if jw are supposed to be christian....why do the cut you off....god is a loving god who loves all his children...and why is it that you have to go through an "exit" interview...like its a job or something?

there are many unanswered question i have...but this is just one of them to start...it seems to me that its hypocritical...

Preparation for Dateline & online interest
by Kismet in
1. social
2. current
dateline is just 24 hours (give or take) away.

i really do expect to see a great deal of online activity as people search for more information.

jwd is likely going to be one of the most visited due to the large amount of information posted here on the subject, much by silentlambs themselves.. i also expect to see people visiting randy's excellent site as well as watchtower observer for copies of documentation,news articles, etc.

i realize it wont be an accurate count but perhaps an estimate of those that we know or are aquatinted with.. i'll start.. 3 +.
