  during the past week, 17 different articles on various practices of jws and comments to those, have been published on the web page of the norwegian equivalent of the bbc, nrk: http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/norge/1.8397366.

  in addition to this a special news programme with a discussion on sexual abuse and jw was broadcast on nrk2, and p1 contained an interview with an ex-jw on its weekly news summary programme.. it seems the expose is continuing..

  Now it has been brought to the next level. Last night NRK (the equivalent of the BBC) published this on their web site:

  http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/norge/1.10844955

  Mr Bøhler is first deputy chair of the Standing Committee on Justice in the Parliament of Norway, the Storting.

  Interestingly, the press spokesman of Jehovah’s witnesses in Norway, now statues that they might be willing to take part in the public debate on this and offer more information.

  So it seems they are somewhat subduing to the intense media pressure. Of course, this having been raised to a political level makes it much more serious for the Watchtower society than simple negative statements in the press.

  Today, the ex-witnesses met with a member for the ruling labour party and also a member of the committee of justice at the Parliament (Storting) and explained a lot on various witness practices, e.g. also the non-involvement in politics, handling a abuse etc etc... There will most likely be an interview with them on NRK tomorrow.

  I feel this shared mixed sentiments. Remember very vividly how it was when JWs was exposed in the early 90s... Remember coming into the airplane when returning from our honeymoon and all the frontpages of the newspapers were filled with JW related issues and exposed throught several pages...

  hello, this is my first post and the first time i have told my entire story, albeit abridged, to anyone.

  it will be a long story, sorry.. my grandparents were brought up with different religious backgrounds but converted to bible students around the depression era.

  later, my grandfather met my grandmother through the congregation and got married until his death, having a marriage that lasted over four decades.
