DATELINE: BLACK ART OF PROPAGANDA
by You Know inhardly anyone has an honest opinion about anything of importance that wasnt craftily pre-packaged and handed to them by someone else whose job it is to craft public opinion.
the intention of the media is to present the illusion of impartially informing, all the while pandering to prejudice and ignorance in order to persuade to a particular point of view.
datelines presentation of the watchtowers child abuse issue was a case study in the black art of media propaganda.. from the very beginning of the presentation dateline was intent on giving the public a negative impression of jehovahs witnesses by portraying us all as oddball crackpots whose religion revolves around the doctrine that we dont celebrate birthdays and that all non-believers are possessed by the devil and that we want them all to die.

by cornish inim just starting to get this suspicious feeling.. .
why is it that there is no mention of last tuesday's sceening on the dateline page?.

I forgot to mention one very important consideration. The media is more powerful than any lawyer could ever be. If the WT sued NBC, NBC would most likely retaliate by, among other things, using a team of investigative reporters to uncover additional news stories that would adversely impact the WT's public image.
I don't like the WT, but I'll give them credit for being wise enough to avoid a hopeless battle with the media.

Gopher, the show was indeed a ratings success. The operative word here is "was." Why would Dateline want to continue to advertise a show that has already aired?
Sam, how do you know that JW legal works for free? Have you seen their financial statements? They don't disclose them, and I bet that if they did you would find that many of the people you and many others thought were volunteers are highly compensated. This would explain their refusal to publicly disclose this information.
Yes, a WT legal challenge is certainly a possibility. But they would most likely lose, and spend a lot of money doing so. Baseless speculation about the power of the WT legal team serves to intimidate apostates from exercising their rights to freedom of expression, and helps the Society's cause.

William, thanks for the words of wisdom!
Folks, the WT corporation is an insignificant ant compared to NBC. If NBC had doubts about its legal position, they wouldn't have aired the show.
How many people that you meet are really interested in the Jehovah's Witnesses? For the vast majority of the public, Jehovah's Witnesses are nothing but fodder for jokes, or an occasional nuisance. NBC bases its decisions on ratings and profits, not fear of a cult's legal department.
The JW legal department benefits from this sort of hysteria. Let's not help them out.

After seeing him [Bill Bowen] in the Dateline program he reminds me of everything that is wrong with Jehovah's Witnesses. -- Psychdigg
Psychdigg, you're right. How wrong it was of Bill Bowen to speak out against an organization that allows child molesters to go from door to door preaching about morality. What a rotten thing Bill Bowen did by standing up to an organization whose policies appear to have protected pedophiliacs at the expense of their victims.
Psychdigg, have you ever engaged in any inappropriate conduct with children?

Why is Jehovah allowing his name to be disgraced?
by IslandWoman injehovah's name, the very name associated with jehovah's witnesses is being disgraced, trampled upon as never before in the organization's history!!.
in the past jehovah's witnesses have been reproached for standing up in defense of jehovah and his word.
jehovah's name was sanctified at all costs and it appears from their history books that jehovah was making a good name for himself by means of their integrity.

This is what has happened today to the Watchtower!!
Why Jehovah has withdrawn his support from them is for them to determine. -- Island Woman
Withdrawn? What makes you think Jehovah ever supported these clowns? Is it all the false predictions? The Miracle Wheat? The Judge? What?

DATELINE VIEWERS BEWARE!!!
by 144thousand_and_one into 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.

Please note:
Once an inanimate object has been demonized, there is no remedy that will excise the demon(s) other than destruction of the affected property. Destroying a television can be hazardous. Accordingly, while Elsewhere's service might provide temporary relief, the only way you can be sure that there are no demons in your home is to remove all possesions that have been exposed to the demons.
Upon receiving your television set, you can be assured that I'll take the necessary action to see that it never becomes part of your life again. However, I do insist that you pay the shipping costs and no CODs are accepted.
Remember friends, Armageddon is "just around the corner." Do you want to enter the great tribulation while possessing a demonic television set? Don't miss out on this limited-time opportunity to purge your household of undesirable demonic elements!

All I can do is try and encourage my fellow Witnesses to try and get over the stumbling blocks and trust Jehovah when every thing seems to be going wrong. / You Know
You Know,
What you characterize as "stumbling blocks" are actually facts that should awaken the mentally enslaved to the true realities of the Jehovah's Witness cult.
More facts about the Jehovah's Witnesses need to be publicly disclosed, including, but not limited to, their encouragement of child abuse (e.g., beatings for kids who can't stay still at meetings, and no child care provided, "spare the rod spoil the child," beatings taking place on kingdom hall property with the tacit approval of the local congregation, 2 witness rule for child molestation, etc.) and the exploitation of children (e.g., parents encouraged to compel their children to perform uncompensated marketing services on behalf of the cult - "field service," parents encouraged to compel their children to give uncompensated speeches -- "talks" for the benefit of the local congregations, etc.).
It is laughable that you would characterize the news show "Dateline" as the "black art of propaganda." The Jehovah's Witnesses owe much of their very existence to the propaganda disseminated by the WTS and it's historical plethora of false prophets. You do a great job of presenting another example of the pot calling the kettle black.
Did you apologize to Ray Franz yet for the ostensibly libelous comments you posted about him on this site?

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. For a limited time only, I am offering to gather up all these demonic television sets at no cost to you except for the shipping.
Don't take this lightly. I can remember a JW family that told us about their experiences watching the tv show "Bewitched." When the father attempted to satisfy his responsibilities as an elder and a parent by turning off this demonic program, a hand kept coming out of the television and turning it back on. Finally, the television was thrown out of the house, but not before the family saw other demonic phenomena, including books that floated around the house. Learn from this family's experience and send me your television immediately!
After you send me your television, you might be interested in purchasing some Miracle Wheat to satisfy your physical and spiritual hunger. I can hook you up . . . what are you waiting for?

Why Are People Here So Disrespectful At Times?
by Eutapro ineu has noticed that a number of persons making up this forum are guilty of showing disrespect to jehovah's witnesses.
some refer to jws as 'hovahs and others talk about kingdumb hells, all the time professing to follow christ.. some may justify their rude behavior by saying that jws themselves can be rude.
even if the charge is true, and eu is not really convinced that it is, why cannot ex-jws rise above the fray?

But you do not see eu coming to this place calling peopel names. -- Eutapro/Mystikool/Non-whatever
Maybe not, but we did see "eu" come to this place and represent to all on this site that he is an "intellectual academic." Unfortunately, he has trouble with his spelling and grammar, and tends to fill this site with verbose ramblings that are devoid of any meaningful content. I remember students who attempted to impress others in the manner that Eu has here. Without exception, they ranked at the bottom of the class and received jeers, rather than respect, from their peers.
