    Heads up! This is a program being shown in the UK. The Scientology PR guy would've been thrown out of the Spanish Inquisition for intolerant behavior!

    Thank heaven my family's JW!

    Oh surprise. A lot of pro scientology videos and comments on YouTube. Of course none of them are by current scientologists. :rollseyes:

    Cool - the programme's on the website so I'll be able to watch it later (no tv here!)

    I thought it was funny that the show has been overshadowed by the BBC reporter losing his rag but apparently when you see it in context the viewer is more able to understand why he did.

    A JW e-mailed me about this one, so I replied to ask him if he remembered the Panorama episode about the Society covering up for peadophiles. He said 'Oh, was that them? I guess if they over-exagerrated that one, they might over-exagerrate this'

    Of course, after further e-mails, I found out he hadn't seen the episode about JWs...

    Absolutely! The PR guy never gave the BBC reporter a chance to speak, was following him around, being in his face, being an intimidatory presence at his interviews. I'm surprised the reporter didn't punch his lights out.

    ... Unless we were only shown selective editing like the Panorama JW child abuse program ...

    They are more aggressive and wayward than the dubs they are also a business with plenty of money and people like Tom Cruise and Travolta gave them some prestige. The JWs also break families ties up in a similar way especially those with ex members. They are all diabolical cults.
