I was sent this email today from a student I talked to a while back. The word is getting out and WT dos not even realize it. Just think when Dateline airs how many hands will go up.

Mr. Bowen,
I am the lady who spoke with you a few weeks ago on the phone about your organization. I am a public relations student at XXXX University and had chosen Silentlambs as my project for the semester. I just wanted to let you know that I gave my final presentation on Wednesday to the class, and everyone was shocked about the organization's policies on pedophiles. I mentioned the upcoming Dateline show to be aired soon, and my professor said that it was obvious that many in the class would be watching it. It was also interesting after my presentation, my professor asked the class how many had heard of the JW pedophile issue and several raised their hands.
I also took them to your web site and navigated through it to point out it superiority over many other sites (it covers just about everything a good web site should offer). The girls thought that the little lamb on the page.
I wanted to thank you for the personal interview on the phone. It was very informative and gave me some extra points for the project. Keep up the good work!
looking forward to reading about her experience in the next WT. :-)
does this remind you of the experiences in the magazines about the loyal JW kids who do a school project for some class. They only use WT publications as references, but still get an "A" anyway and compliments about "quality of scholarship in references." And the kid start 20 bible studies. But, most importantly (and why the experience is worthy of magazine space), the teacher buys 20 copies of some book for the class (or makes hefty donation for 20 books).
you could say that the girl placed 20 copies of the smoking gun BOE letters condoning wanton child raping.

Apologize to Arlo Gutherie: "And the meanest, nastiest child raper of them all sitting there on the group JW bench came over....and offered me a Watchtower.
It may be too late for many current 'lambs' to avoid butchery, but there is growing hope for a few more to escape.However the future looks encouraging in the prevention of slaughter at the mercilessness hands of the WATCHTOWER CULT.
Perhaps the walls of the TOWER will fall only after we are dead and gone, but your good name and efforts will live on into history.
It's strange, the WTS once seemed to be quite good on spin and PR but they don't seem to have kept up with how the world has changed and now the tide of opinion seems to be against them whatever they come out with.
The recent article about the WTC didn't get the reception I think they expected ... people we spoke to said it was obvious they were just trying to take advantage.
Can you see them not comeing out with a WT about child abuse? Maybe it will be as good as their last one - the famous "maybe they imagined it all".
