it will be repeated at 1:15pm today( about 3 hours from now) on the sky news channel, if you have or can get access to pay tv.. .
great show, btw, makes the 'tower org look like a bunch of evil prats.
I have it on vhs and my hubby recorded it on computer to put to disc. we will try to find a way to get it on the net.
Jana introduced the story by saying something like...."3 years ago we covered a story re. the sexual abuse in the WTS. It was said we were working for satan. well, we are doing it again today." something to that effect. I have it on tape, i'll watch it again tonight and i'll post it word for word ok!
Cheers, Bliss.
PS. even though it was on in the morning, every KH in my area has 2 congos sharing. So there would have been 1/2 the dubs at home to see the show. It would have got around like wild fire.

Well, I was very interested and knew it was going to go to air due to having contact with one of the producers. I gave information for the story myself.............I am NOT any of the people being interviewed though.
I have to say that it was of no surprise how the elder treated the victims. It is identical to what happened to my family. And guess what..........I knew the elder being interviewed and recognised the distraught female victim because I was in the same circuit as them.
I hope more people come out BEFORE they or their kids become victims themselves.
Shame on the WTS and it's elders who have no love or empathy for the innocent and hurt. And shame on it's members who, as they have done to me, choose to support and protect the name of the WTS than be repulsed by it's handling of sexual abuse cases and take a stand! I'm over making excuses for them all! Let's say it for what it is!
Sorry, I'm pretty angry right now but life is good outside the borg.
Love to all survivors
Cheers, Bliss

i'd like to get comments from people about whether and how much they were shocked, surprised, or otherwise bothered by the watchtower society's becoming an associated non-governmental organization (ngo).. note that i'd like to see these comments because they might lead to some interesting publicity, so please comment accordingly.. alanf
As I was trying to deal with my child's sexual abuse, my unfair dfíng for speaking out about it, and not getting any privelages back for months after reinstatement my husband was busy on the internet, looking up any information he could about the WTS.
In some sick way I guess I still felt the WTS was God's organization and that what had happened to my family was just unfortunate and due to some poor leadership. But the more I read and thought about things the more I couldn't deny the WTS's trickiness and even corruption.
My husband initially started getting me to look at the internet, showing me the 'silent lambs' site and also information about the Pangello's situation. I was horrified to hear how many other JWs had experienced the same suffering as my family had. As I read more and looked outside the information controlling organization, I started to feel validated in distrusting and even disliking the WTS. It was like opening my eyes and mind to the horrible truth about something I trusted 100%.
Now things started to make some sense to me and I didn't feel like I was evil, unspiritual or faithless for questioning the WTS's way of dealing with things such as sexual abuse, and for disapproving of how they handled things.
So by the time my husband told me about the UN scandal I was ready to accept the WTS being corrupt and hypocritical. It was the proverbial 'straw that broke the camel's back'. And I left without any guilt or doubt. What also confirmed their dishonesty was, no elder ever talked about being UN NGO yet when asked why the WTS was involved with the UN..................they had a pathetic library card excuse ready!
So I guess you could say finding out about the UN scandal sealed my fate in leaving without regret! But the WTS has hurt many with their lies and deception. The UN scandal was just 1 thing about the WTS that made me very angry.

i have had trouble getting onto mrs ozzie since the operation but this morning i rang the hospital and was put through to mr ozzie himself!.
we spoke for quite a while and he sounded fantastic!!!!!!!.
i passed on the love of the board and told him he has so many people who love him.
I'll be visiting Ozzie in the next couple of weeks...........................
oh... have him share the good drugs that make him bright as a button and cheeky! I want some of those pills lol
OK I'll tell you if they work for me! LOL. Although my guess is Ozzie would much prefer to self-medicate with shiraz

I have had trouble getting onto Mrs Ozzie since the operation but this morning I rang the hospital and was put through to Mr Ozzie himself!
We spoke for quite a while and he sounded FANTASTIC!!!!!!!Apart from some post operative pain (and I'm certainly not down playing it because it was an extremely complicated and dangerous procedure), he sounded as bright as a button and as cheeky as ever.
I passed on the love of the board and told him he has so many people who love him. But I'm the lucky one cause i get to spend time with him and the Mrs. every now and then.
He thanks you all for your prayers, thoughts and love and sends love back at you!My guess is that the sooner he has a shiraz the better he'll get, I just have to plan how to get it passed the nurses........LOL.
So I just wanted to let you all know our loved Ozzie is doing fine after a very serious operation and I can't tell you how relieved I was to hear how positive and happy he sounded.
Let's keep him and the mrs in our thoughts and prayers as there is alot of recovery to come still.
I promise to keep you as updated as I can....................thanks friends.
