    This weekend's "Sunday" program on Channel Nine in Australia features a report along the lines of Dateline and Panorama.

    Just up on their site is the following report:

    Silent Witnesses September 22, 2002
    Reporter :Graham Davis

    Sunday has managed to get inside the highly secretive Jehovah's Witnesses, who have some 60,000 adherents in Australia, and found the Church has secretly pursued a policy of obstructing police investigations into child abusers. Some Church elders believe that, since the rest of us live in a world run by Satan, they have a divine right even to lie in court. Child abuse victims tell for the first time how they were told not to take their complaints to the police. In one case, the same paedophile molested up to 40 children, but still the Jehovah's Witnesses did nothing ...

    The full transcript will; be up on this site, after the show goes to air.

    Don't forget, this Sunday at 9am AEST.

    Cheers, Ozzie

    Australia uses the PAL 625 line format, which is different to the American NTSC system, so there might be a problem here.

    Wow you Austrailians don't mix words now do you. "Obstructing police" and "a divine right to lie in court". Looks like they got a mole into a congragation. This should be very interesting!

    Wow! Looks like they are gonna tell the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about "the troof" :-)

    Should be very reveiling !!!!! If the story comes across like the 'write up' suggests, I'll bet those 60,000 JW's in Australia will be getting signifigantly colder receptions at the doors from now on...

    Go Channel 9 (Wherever you are)..

    G'day all!

    Zev: Your old Ozzie was pleased to assist Channel Nine on this write-up.

    TTBoy:

    Looks like they got a mole into a congragation.

    Not exactly, just former WTS directors, Bethelites and insiders!!! Watch for their faces!

    plmkrzy: the report will last for 40 to 45 minutes.

    patio34:

    You ain't kidding! They'll call for criminal charges to be laid against the WTS officers!!!!

    Cheers, Ozzie
