Dateline story removed

iwz by iwz · Jan 25, 2002 · eZabel · 365 views · ·

I have decided to remove the story previously posted here from the site. It was brought out to me from more than one person that having it available for viewing was not especially encouraging to readers of the site, and of course, I don't want my humble little website to have a discouraging affect on its readers.

This is the first time I have had to remove anything from the site for this reason. Although the story did not reveal anything not already, or soon to be, public, this website is not an appropriate venue for discussion about it.

Thank you, and please come again!

Yeah the comments were pretty crappy for it anyway! No controversy or anything among them! J/K, I guess its a good idea to remove it since there was no way it was positive or upbuilding. Personally i probably won't even be around to watch it when it does air and doubt it will really have that much of a impact depending on how its reported unless they aiming to make it a totally biased story against the Witnesses.

he just says "don't discuss it" and whattya do?! you go and start discussing it. (actually if it was totally biased, that's a hate crime anyway... kinda reminds me of the time my mom and sister got mooned out in service, and then the kids aimed a bb-gun at them. the cops scared the poop outta those kids... kinda funny now that i come to think of it)

magnum magnumOG 2001 ·

Well then he should have allowwed any comments silly! And i didnt think i discussed it, i didnt even say what i was talkin about, so take a big fat =P

I missed the story. So I just did a dateline search. Found 4 articles that mention JW and all ok. So what happened Ian?

Hey has anyone seen the commercial yet that the society has made for TV? It's kinda like the "Church of Latter Day Saints" commercials, but better...it's cool. Check it out on JW-Media.org ....it's called "Love Builds Better Families"...and at the end, it says "brought to you by the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses"....(this excerpt brought to you by the letter "D")

i know i was a bit bemused by it, i didnt think it was the sorta thing they'd do, yeah i know we had a radio broadcast but, oh i dont know, it just didnt really seem right - u know?

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 ·

No, I dont know..I dont see anything wrong with it..it seems like the thing to do to mass advertise it, you know?

N
nine9starOG 2001 ·

mhm i know it just felt strange i dont know why - i suppose cos i associate that sort of this with the church of latter day saints

ya i know what u mean.. i mean i didnt think that they would ever do something like that.. not like its bad but it just doesnt seem like something they would do.. i wonder if poeple will listen and stuff.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

i thought the same thing at first, i just dont want people to associate us with the of latter day saints or any other religion

N
nine9starOG 2001 ·

yeah it does feel weird, may be when we start seeing the responses we will feel different, but i do feel we're following much of a muchness :/

J
jollycandymanOG 2001 ·

Yeah, it does seem a little wierd, but I guess whatever it takes to reach people we should take advantage of.

crazygirlOG 2001 · jollycandyman

ya thats true.. and if the society approves and stuff i guess it'll be good i think it just came more of a shock to me.

N
nine9starOG 2001 · crazygirl

yeah same here - i mean i totally trust all the society do, but it was just a shocker i guess

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 · nine9star

I think its impressive that they are trying new ways to try and attract the world. They also have portions of the bible video now on the web...very impressive.

crazygirlOG 2001 · g.f.s.rocks
