DIALOGUE PRESS RELEASE – January 2012   “INTERVIEW WITH A PROSECUTOR” – AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH STEVEN UNTHANK   BACKGROUND: On July 26, 2011 the entire worldwide religious and corporate hierarchy of Jehovah’s Witnesses were charged in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria, Australia, with 35 serious criminal breaches of the state’s mandatory child protection laws (Working with Children Act 2005). Among the legal entities charged were the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania and the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses. So far to date, there have been four separate court hearings during 2011 between September and December. The next round of court hearings are scheduled to commence on February 21, 2012 (Australia time).   DIALOGUE is pleased to announce that on February 21, 2012 (U.S. time) RICHARD RAWE will present DIALOGUE a worldwide exclusive live question and answer interview and discussion with the current Acting Prosecutor in the above criminal cases, Mr STEVEN UNTHANK.   UNTHANK will also be discussing with us four interesting questions:   1. How do the Working with Children laws apply within “religious organisations”?   2. What defines a criminal?   3. Why do some people plead “guilty”?   4. Should victims of crime receive an apology?   While UNTHANK will not be discussing legal aspects of the current criminal cases he is prosecuting before the court, we are sure that, nonetheless, the interview will be informative and insightful.   TIMES OF BROADCAST (see below [or next page]) The live call-in internet interview program can be heard worldwide and participated in as DIALOGUE it occurs on   http://www.sixscreensofthewatchtower.com/telenetwork/dialogue.php YOU MAY participate with questions or comments by calling U.S. (712) 432-8710 +pin 9925 or by email on sixscreens06@yahoo.com   DIALOGUE wishes to keep everyone informed and up to date on events affecting the WATCHTOWER DIALOGUE religion.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE CHILDREN OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TO THE GOVERNING BODY OF JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES January 1, 2012 To the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses Dear brothers, We were wondering why you did not help look after us and protect us children in Victoria, Australia, by having the elders get their working with children cards and why you have not said sorry for breaking the law. When us kids are naughty or we do something bad we have to say sorry to the people we did wrong to. This is what Jehovah and Jesus says in the Bible that we must do if we want to be good people. Sometimes when us kids are naughty at home we get ‘time out’ and sometimes if we are really naughty we might also get punished. If we break the rules at school then we can also get ‘time out’ or we might get yard duty or even suspended or expelled. Why have you not said sorry to us kids and why are you hiding what you did wrong to us? Why has Jehovah not punished you and why are you still elders? Why aren't you upset that you broke the law and that you did wrong things against us children, the little lambs? We know we are only kids, but why don't you care about us like Jesus cares about us and all of the children? Why didn't you do anything to help us when you were first told about the new laws to protect us children all those years ago? All these good laws try to do is to stop bad people from spending time with us or from trying to hurt us. You could have stopped all these problems if only you listened when you were first told. Now you could go to jail for what you did wrong. Our parents tell us that Jehovah always disciplines those he loves. Why has Jehovah not disciplined you? Don’t the laws in the Bible apply to you? Do you believe in the Bible and what Jesus says we must do if we sin against other people? Should you still be our elders or our governing body if you break the law and cover this up? Should you brothers be disfellowshipped for breaking the law like when you disfellowship other brothers and sisters when they break the law? Can Jehovah or Jesus use the Watch Tower Society if they know the Society broke the law and are trying to get away with it? Would that make Jehovah and Jesus sharers in the sins of others? It would. Does Jehovah like elders that are naughty against children or that don’t try to protect them? Are you still allowed to pray to Jehovah? When we are naughty we have to say sorry first before our prayers to Jehovah are heard. You should go to the courthouse and tell them you are “guilty” and did wrong and say sorry to everyone even if it means getting into trouble. You always tell us in The Watchtower magazine that this is what Jehovah says we must do before he will forgive us. You tell us that pride is why people do not apologise. You tell us that real Jehovah's Witnesses always say sorry. Will you please tell us the answers to all our questions and if you will say sorry to us at all for what you have done to us kids? Also, we would like to meet with all of you elders on the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses so you can say sorry to all of us children one at a time. Our parents tell us that this is what Jesus has told you that you must do, say sorry. Our families and us kids would like to meet with all of you at our Traralgon Kingdom Hall before your next criminal court case on February 21, 2012, so you can tell us why you broke the law and to give you the chance to say sorry and make amends. We have a list of how you can make amends. It makes us sad that you have broken the law for a long time and not said sorry but hide what you have done instead. This is not love. If you do say sorry to us kids and mean it then we will forgive you. This is love.   We are only children but we will be grown-ups one day and then we will learn everything you did to us. Warmest Christian love, signed by us kids - the children in the Traralgon Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses for all the children in the State of Victoria, Australia, and the World P.S. Our parents and families helped us write this letter because this is what Jesus said we must do to those who sin against us. See Matthew 18:15-17. This letter is from us kids because it was us kids that you elders knowingly committed sins and crimes against and then deliberately lied to. A MESSAGE FROM THE PARENTS AND FAMILIES OF THE ABOVE CHILDREN Dear Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses, On July 26, 2011, you men and the Watch Tower Society were charged with a total of 35 serious criminal offences committed against our children because you refused to comply with our state’s child protection laws in the Working with Children Act 2005. Each offence carries up to Au$144,000 in fines and up to two years imprisonment. Your lawlessness in this matter has been going on since July 1, 2008. You have broken the law in every single congregation in Victoria, Australia, thousands of times every single week for over three years - from July 2008 onwards. Everybody warned you of the need to comply with these laws and you refused to listen. You ignored the Department of Justice when they offered to personally help all elders and “ministers of religion” to comply with these child protection laws. Even though the government had waived all fees you refused to comply. Your disregard for these laws became so bad that charges of lawlessness were made in the Christian Congregation against you men. You were charged with “loose conduct involving children” (child abuse). The charges were ignored. In November 2011 you issued letters to all elders and congregations in Victoria, Australia, that they must now comply with these laws. This is too little, too late. You complied only after 35 criminal charges were filed against you and then only after you repeatedly failed to have the charges thrown out of court. By refusing to comply with these child protection laws for well over three years you have “taken a stand against the arrangement of God” and the Scriptures say you “will receive judgment.” - Romans 13:1-5 Jesus made it very clear when he ordered YOU “to see to it that YOU men do not despise one of these little ones.” (Matthew 18:1-10) In his sermon on the mount Jesus also said that we should stop everything, including our service to God, and sort out our problems with others first. (Matthew 5:23-26) As parents and families with children within the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses we have repeatedly asked you to sort this matter out with us over the past three years and every time you outright refused and ignored us all. Will you now “despise” our children and refuse to say sorry to them? Finally, could you please inform us where we can find a copy of the Child Protection Policy that is ‘used’ by the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Signed by THE PARENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE CHILDREN WITHIN THE TRARALGON CONGREGATION OF JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES FOR ALL THE CHILDREN

READERS, YOU CAN HELP BY MAILING AND OR EMAILING COPIES OF THIS NOW!  (1.) Children molested in Traralgon Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs), Victoria state, Australia, wrote an Open Letter to the Governing Body men over JWs asking them to come apologize for allowing the molestations.  The men refused to obey a law ordering them to have JW clergy submit to background checks to discover any history of violence including pedophilia. The little ones say they will forgive the men if they come and apologize. (2.)
