Here's a little history about that banner: I pay nothing to Simon for the banner. He put it there out of the goodness of his heart and one of his moderators designed it. The photo art on the "Secrets" cover was designed by one of our beloved posters, Dave Malone, who by profession is a well-known graphics illustrator. The little girl in the photo is the daughter of another JWD poster who is a photographer. I'm sorry the cover art is disturbing to some. But it was meant to be since the subject is horribly disturbing. I picked the name for the CD because it was disturbing too. How else to get attention these days when many people don't seem to be disturbed by very much except the economy.
I recently asked the owners of this site and the new one, JWN, the Greens, if they were going to keep the banner? If they don't, I'm certainly okay with their decision. I know if they don't put the banner back, it will make some posters on JWD very happy and for that I'm happy for them.
My thanks to those who defended the banner, who recognize the issue is bigger than our personal likes and dislikes. I desire not to offend anybody, and if we can figure out a better way to get people to my website, www.watchtowerdocuments.com to download for free all those court documents, I want to know it. The website is of no use unless people go there and find all the documents that expose the sham of a religion called Jehovah's Witnesses and their wicked child abuse policies.
Since 1992 I've heard so many ugly stories from victims of JW molesters and maybe some of the people who don't want to see that banner anymore would like to PM me and we could talk. I'll make you cry when you hear what your former brothers and sisters have done to children. If you are religious, you should thank God it didn't happen to you.
