Decade of Dateline 10 Yr Anniversary Special

msnbc is running a special commemorating the 10 year anniversary of dateline.. go to:.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/datelineanniversary_front.asp?pne=msn.

over the past 10 years dateline has brought you more than 5000 stories -- everything from breaking news to interviews with hollywood's biggest celebrities to hidden camera investigations.

Quandary

Reborn:

Why do you think that the story will not air? Just because of the Catholic Church expose? If what the Silentlambs web page has been posting over the past year is true and DATELLINE has invested all of those man hours investigating and recording why would they have done all that work in vain? I just find it hard to believe they will scrap this year + long project that easily. Too, I seriously doubt that the PR guys in Brooklyn are THAT good at persuading one of the biggest if not THE biggest news agency to not report a story on a religious organization which is so quick to point the finger at the wrongs committed by other religious groups.
Just my take-

Child abuse policy

by Smitty in

the pope is considering adopting a child abuse policy similar to jw's.

they've already accepted the policy of 'one strike youre out'.

now they're considering applying it to those cases that involve pass offences.

Quandary

Smitty-
You mentioned "NO Dateline for sure." Do you have a reliable source who is stating the Dateline will NOT run the story?? I can't believe that the Watchtower's PR dept is THAT good!

Please expand.

by Quandary in

jw
friends

we recently had the visit of the co, during the elders meeting he addressed his concern over the decline in meeting attendance, especially for the tms & sm.

our particular congregation saw a decline of 30% from his last visit 6 months ago.

in a private conversation with him i asked if our congregation was unique in this regard and he said no, some congregations have seen a much higher percentage of decline, 50-60%.

I asked if he thought the Christian Congregation is considering cutting the # of weekly meetings. His response was he did not think so but the way he answered gave me the impression he knew more than he was willing to relate.

Does anyone here have any information they would like share? Any friends at Bethel who might know something?

Just curious-

it has been stated that the dateline episode would run before the end of the year.

does anyone have any factual information about the status of the expose?

Quandary

anewperson: I agree about not ragging on Bill Bowen. What a courageous man he is! I guess I'm just very anxious to see how the Society(branch) is going to try to weasle out of this one! I took your advice and emailed NBC inquiring about the status of the story.

Thanks
