    I know it is unusual to post a site for promoting business, but let me tell you that I'm sure Bill Bowen and his wife Sheila would sure appreciate your business, since they don't have much coming in to help out with Bill traveling and all. They have the highest quality candles on their website. Show them you appreciate their hard work exposing the pedophiles!

    Thanks for posting this, Randy

    I ordered some of these candles a few months ago, and I love them. Especially the mulberry. They smell great!

    Thanks for all of your hard work, Bill and Sheila!

    You are so right, Randy. The candle business is/was their livelihood. As you can imagine, they have lost some of their income base, due to JW's in their area essentially shunning them.

    Yet, their expenses have increased due to their dedicated activity on the behalf of the Silentlambs' victims.

    Again, if you like candles, you simply will find none better. They burn so evenly. When you do extinguish them, after several hours, you will find the surface stays level, -- no crater, or hole around wick. And, the scent runs throughout the entire candle - 'good to the last drop'. They have a nice variety of scents, too. Even one suitable for people with asthma, or allergies.

    If you simply are not into candles, keep in mind that they would make nice gifts. Or you might want to send a contribution to help out -- the mailing address is at the http://www.silentlambs.com website.

    Even if one can only write a check for, say, $5, if enough contribute, it will benefit their efforts. Ritzville, was only one case out of many more to come.
    And, I hope we all wish Bill to be there, on behalf of each victim, and to also represent all of us who may not be able to personally attend.

    Hello to all.

    I know that many of you have doubted me and all the terrible things that have happened to me and my niece. I do not know how to prove that I am for real, so I will give my full cooperation to Bill and his fight to save children.

    I have asked my cousin, which runs a nice site, to give all proceeds to Bill and his effort. He had offered me his help, but I think it will help Bill better.

    Many blessings to all that help.

    Mario.

    One word of caution. If you wish to send Bill and Shiela a contribution, do so in the form of CASH.

    A few years ago when Clinton was undergoing the Lewinsky scrutiny, supporters of his secretary Betty Curry began sending her checks for $9. I believe this amount corresponded to what some Federal Agency found her guilty of accepting.

    Anyhow my point is, with all the media exposure, Betty ended up getting scrutinized by the IRS and having to pay taxes on all the money her supporters sent her (her lawyer's charges were NOT reimbursed.) And you better believe those tax-avoiders the WBTS would love to turn the IRS on to Bill and Shiela for getting $5 here or $10 there.

    Cash money is not traceable, and as such it was on her conscience to claim it as income.

    'Nuff said.

    It seems to me there are two clean ways to handle this. Buy the candles and it is a legitmate business transaction. Another way, is for Bill to set up a nonprofit corporation for his silentlambs work. The contributions would help the cause, and the donation would be tax deductible.

    I think Bill has a PayPal donation thingy on his website like the one at the top of this one if that helps. I'm gonna buy some candles anyway - not really my thing (hey, I'm a bloke) but Ang. likes them and I guess they make nice gifts (women type things)

    The PayPal contribution link is on the SilentLambs site BTW, not the candle site
