I guess that they did not want to have an open dialogue on this issue but as the scripture says, "YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT!!"

I can contribute about 5 or 6 quarters, however; I will NOT wash their shitty drawers.

"The real reason why a representative of the Society did not want to be interviewed live...."
is because without the presence of "cue cards" or an attorney, they would look like what they are.

Hello Jeff,
thanks for sharing these informations.
You stated:
"The REAL reason why a representative of the Society
did not want to be interviewed live was because
the Society wanted CONTROL of the information it released."Very, very true...if you thinks of the various actions
of their PR, their attorney..."brother" Philip Brumley!They want above all to save their own image..never mind
the vicimes...the children and thie families.I do hope that all this from "Dateline" will make the..bubble
burst once for all.Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp

This the root of the pedophile problem. The Watchtower is more concerned with its image than the real problem. The pedophile problem can wait on Jehovah, but the PR problem needs action now.
____________________________________________________________________________________________Actually I think the real problem is the presumption that the elders are qualified to deal with any problems that arise. Seen in the best light, that is. Of course it comes over that they are trying to hide the problems away from the public, especially in the way they treat the victims. But it all boils down to how much importance is given to the elder arrangement. They are made to feel infalible and they are extremely self important. And they don't like being undermined - even if they've brought it on themselves.

It should not be surprising to us that they were unwilling to appear live on camera. Open forum, discussion and debate are not part of Witness culture.
That is why meetings are designed to be structured question/answer and not Bible discussion as most religions use. Questions are not encouraged. This is true even with home Bible studies. They are supposed to answer out of the book. If they have questions not answered in the paragraph, rarely do they progress towards being a Jehovah's Witness.
That is also the real reason why witnesses do not come to this site to discuss real issues.

When an organization arrogates to itself un-Scriptural powers and authorities and then threatens people who do not submit to it with un-Scriptural punishment, then that organization becomes a racket. --Fred Franz (1943)
