  People who are straight can live their lives without feeling they might have to adjust themselves to the majority etc.

  It is not a valic comparison.

  However, it would be interesting to know how JWs react to the videos themselves...

  Interestingly, some JWs – when seeing the video on the web before it was released on the conventions – vehemently claimed that the video was a fake video made by apostate JWs to slander the witnesses....

  I am not happy as such. I just report on whats going on. Of course i am also concerned on what implications this might have on children of JWs that might be the cause of harassment due to this wide exposure...

  It is however, interesting to see how it catches on more on more...

  Now the bishop voices her concern on the matter:

  Yesterday, a close to 4 minute part of a nationwide afternoon radioshow gave the DVD attention. Various clips from the dvd was aired, interwoven with interviews with leading child psychiatrists and also an ex-witness was interviews. JWs declined the offer to give a comment, but a spokesman from JW was quoted on previous statements given to newspapers.

  It is catching on.

  Now it has reached yet another regional paper, as well as the 2nd largets tabloid in the country.

  It also contains comments from various organizations.

  Sparlock has a different name in some other languages

  by cedars in

  2. friends

  i know for a fact that our beloved hero sparlock has been given a different name in at least one other language version of the "become jehovah's friend" dvd.

  caleb has also been given a different name in the same video.

  obviously it makes a degree of sense to rename caleb according to names that are common in various different countries.

  It is already been published in Norwegian, which is spoken by less than 5 million people.

  Caleb is called Jacob, whereas Sparlock is still Sparlock
