    Skeletons in the closet: Catholics aren't the only ones with something to hide, is the name of the article in the April 25 issue of Seattle Weekly (a weekly news magazine). It mainly discusses Erica Rodriguez' case and several Mormon lawsuits. Bill Bowen is quoted in the article as saying "Our denomination is now where the Catholic church was 20 years ago, right on the edge of a crisis."

    It's a great article, brought to my attention by Princess. Thanks kiddo!!

    It's nice to know that someone else realizes it's not just the Catholics with these issues. Then again, The Seattle Weekly always seemed to dig things up and print some good articles.

    I'm glad that finally things are getting out into the open!
    That has always been one of my goals.
    I am positive though that there are many more cases of abuse within the "Watchtower Walls", because right off my hat I can name three cases of abuse all involving or having involved Jehovah's Witnesses, all within my close surroundings. From what I know is that at least one of these cases is at this moment still J.W. What frightens me is if I myself know of three cases, then that would only be the top of the iceberg. The thought of the iceberg being a massive one scares the hell out of me. I truly do hope that this will inspire many silentlambs not to be silent anymore.

    I posted a thread about my daughter how she thinks. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=26867&site=3

    the reason the Watchtower was involved with the U.N. was because two bad brothers signed up without the WT knowing about it.
    Someone within the "WT walls" "fed" her this info. This proves to me the people "feeding" her are very dangerous. What will they "feed" these kids next?

    Therefore I am glad there are people like you out there to protect our children!
    You are doing an amazing job.

    Great work! Please keep it up.

    It's good to see the information getting 'out there'. The more 'householders' that read this the better.

    Maybe it will even cause the R&F to stop a moment and think and wonder.

    Well, we can just hope.

    Cheers,
    Ozzie
