  the result of the airing of the dateline program has been very positive.

  dateline program will no doubt air again in reruns and may get further coverage soon.

  there have been many mixed emotions as a result of this program.

  Thanks Bill for the update,

  I'm glad to hear that the letter moved some to take action and that victims are speaking out.

  The question was raised by others regarding getting this information out and also getting Dateline aired in other countries. I'd also like to see this happen. There must be many more victims around the world, What can we do to help reach them? I am bilingual in Spanish and very interested in getting the word out into Central and South America, let me know what I can do to help, my email is open.

  I also agree with those that have advised you to please be careful. Not to be paranoid but since you have been threatened via email, I think this is good advice. These situations can cause seamingly stable persons to fly of the handle. I'm sure you know this just please take extra precautions. Don't go places alone, if at all possible.

  Nat'l Center for Missing Children - Volunteer

  by Dawn in

  the national center for missing and exploited children can use poster volunteers.

  it's a small effort on our part but makes a huge impact.. go to http://www.ncmec.org/ - click on "how can i help" link on the left, then click on "join our poster partner program".

  it's really quite easy - they'll send you flyers via e-mail to print out when a child is reported missing from your area/region.

  Thank you for the support

  i can't find the words that would express how grateful i am for all the support, not only for all of you to back me on the dateline show but for my trial as well.

  i don't think i would have had the courage to go through the trauma if it wasn't for all your prayers and encouragement.

  dateline was a huge help for many and i know this because i have recieved quite a few calls, one from a current jdub who wants out for the safety of his 16 month old baby, i was so excited that he lifted the veil and saw it for the pure truth that it was.

  Watchtower dissolves congregations?

  by TheStar in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have heard this from jws many times.

  they say that when the whole congregation is corrupt it is clearly noticable that jehovah's spirit is not with them.

  eventually if the whole congregation is corrupt the gb dissolves the whole congregation.. jws say this as if it were from personal experience.

  I have heard this from JWs many times. They say that when the whole congregation is corrupt it is clearly noticable that Jehovah's spirit is not with them. [8>]

  Eventually if the whole congregation is corrupt the GB dissolves the whole congregation.

  JWs say this as if it were from personal experience. I myself never saw this in the less than 10 years I was in.

  I ask, is this true?

  Can this be proven?

  Are there records somewhere that can prove that the WT has done this in the past?

  Were any of you Ex-JWs eye-witnesses to this yourselves when you were a JW?

  IF this topic has been discussed before, my sincerest apologies. Just direct me to the thread please, thanks.

  to all those who watched the dateline episode regarding the handling of child molestation incidents by the jehovahs witnesses:.

  your television is now demonized as it received signals from satan himself.

  you must get rid of it immediately.

  i just spoke on the phone to amazing (jim whitney) who is in intensive care in a chicago hospital.

  on monday he had a major heart attack, had a stint put in an artery to unblock things and may have bypass surgery.

  he's comfortable enough right now, but of course will have to make some big lifestyle changes.
