Silent Lambs web-page is a reckless exhibition of opinion with no regard for "all-ness".
What victims' web site can you point to that strives for "all-ness" by essentially proclaiming, e.g., "click on this link to visit the part of our web site where we demonstrate that some of those who claim they are victims are making false accusations", etc..?
That's like saying that web sites for anti-racial causes should remain "balanced" and strive for "all-ness" by making absolutely certain that those accused of racism are also heard on their web site! Why should they give this opposing space on their web site, knowing there are plenty of other web sites devoted to the exact opposite goal of debunking their cause?
The very nature of a victims' web site such as http://www.silentlambs.org/ requires focusing on the defense of the victims alone! Of course it will technically be "one sided"! Are you going to traumatize a child further by saying to her "honey, in the defense of 'all-ness' and in deference to the remote possibility that you are either lying, having a 'false memory' or otherwise deceiving us, we must devote part of this web site to allowing your abuser to have his say."
Is that the gist of where you're going with this? That is exactly one aspect of what the Society is attempting to accomplish in its judicial committees in forcing the sexually abused child to face his/her abuser behind closed doors!
While I observe what amounts to your continued online persecution (IMO) of Bill Bowen through your harsh criticism, I do not recall has ever been tempered with acknowledgment for real victims of sexual abuse or any expressions of empathy for these children!
Don't you even care about them? Your attacks on Bill Bowen and the Silentlambs organization come across as mean-spirited, cruel and heartless. You fail to temper this harsh criticism with the expression of any regrets for the JW children who really suffer bonafide sexual abuse by congregation members. This demonstrates to me that you would rather sacrifice sexually abused children if they stand in the way of shooting down those you perceive as lying.
That's like trying to discredit the entire Alcoholics Anonymous organization because you personally believe the head of this organization is somehow dishonest. Or it's like saying to an non-profit organization with the purpose of supporting severely suicidal individuals that you would rather see it shutdown -- even if this resulted in tens of thousands of additional suicides -- because you think its founder is insincere, dishonest, whatever.
However, if you are successful in verbally discrediting Silentlambs, you have committed an even worse travesty in my book. Instead of discrediting an organization that treats alcoholics or those who struggle with suicidal thoughts, you will have successfully casted doubt on authentic cases of sexually abused children! What if your son or daughter was raped by an elder for example, in a case where medical and DNA evidence proved it? Suppose someone came along and said "that is so bogus, your son/daughter is such a liar" and continued to say "besides, medical and even DNA evidence can be flawed! It's always safer to consider the child is lying unless that child can provide 100% proof they were molested. Even a fraction of one percent less than 100% proof is unacceptable. In an ideal world, therefore, nobody would ever be accused of child molestation because it's, like duhh? it's IMPOSSIBLE to prove anything 100%! Take the U.S. justice system, in an ideal world nobody would ever get convicted of a crime because it's impossible to prove anything 100% Get the picture?" Indeed, I do. That comes across as what you're saying, Proplog2, and if true then why not consider moving to a country that supports this ideology?
In closing, I want to reiterate that Silentlambs job is to champion for the victims of child abuse and not provide equal opportunity coverage of the accused abusers on this web site.
By the way, I personally have not observed any "reckless exhibition of opinion" at http://www.silentlambs.org/ and suggest that all readers visit this link to judge for themselves. As for any regard for "all-ness" on his site, that is not the purpose of such a web site to cover both sides (and thus suggest that abusers might be innocent)! Obviously when a child says they were abused and medical and/or DNA and/or psychological analytical evidence supports this conclusion, then they need someone like Bill Bowen to champion them! If you knew you were sexually assaulted, you would want total support and not equal-opportunity coverage of the possibility that your attacker is actually innocent (leaving you as a possible liar), would you?
