  Dear Celia,

  By wait on Jehovah--I do not mean that one should wait until death. Notice that I talked about working for positive change within the organization without undermining it. And if one really thinks that she can no longer be a JW and agree with the way things are done, one could also just leave. No one is forced to handle things the way that Mr Bowen has handled matters.

  What is it with you folks here? The anger present in this forum is simply amazing. Why not try Christ and the tranquility that comes from trusting in him?

  Didn't Jesus show just a *touch* of anger when he used a whip to drive money lenders out of the temple? If he can get mad at seeing wrongdoing go unchallenged then why not us? What about the ones in the Old Testament that got up and ran someone through with a tent-peg?

  "Wait on Jehovah" is the cry of people who have something to be afraid of I think.

  Much better to be a man of action like Bill who is achieving something and making a difference.

  God uses humans to sometimes straighten up human messes. Is he using Bill. Maybe God is, hon. What if he is not?

  Do you think maybe satan is controlling Mr. Bowen? Wouldn't satan be more the type of devious spirit that would want to keep this kind of thing hidden & operating? You do believe that a molester is evil don't you?

  It never ceases to amaze me how whenever anyone questions this legal corporation, they are said to be working for the devil. This is so deeply etched in the publisher's mind, and so unbelievable for outsiders like me that it is only posters like you that can make it plain and obvious.

  Would you want to be involved with an organization that has this sort of thing going on? Wouldn't it be your duty to inform people of the facts and at least let each make up their own mind?

  If you do not believe Mr. Bowen's or any of the victims stories, wouldn't you expect this "whistle-blower" to come forward with their evidence if they are so sure they have it?
  I believe that you must be afraid of what this evidence might show so without even examining it you choose to discredit the messenger with personal attacks.

  shecky, i don't like clowns either. they are evil. that reminds me..

  You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who makes people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.

  what kind of sandwich are you going to eat for lunch?

  i skipped the sandwich entirely, riz, and went for a nice can of vegetable soup.

  and that's exactly what scares me about clowns! you never know how they're feeling on the inside. a homocidal killer dressed up as a clown could walk unhindered through a park giving balloons to passer-by's, and no one would have an inkling of what he's really about.

  :shudder:

  Hilda says:

  Who is this Dunns the Scott person?

  You, IMO.

  Is he or she interested in the mystical tradition as well?

  I would assume so.

  I did not say that I understand why Bowen went public. My contention is just the opposite--If he knew anything about the sociology of religion, he would have opted for a different route, as I see it.

  Please elaborate on a better course of action that does not involve passivity and will also result in the reduction of JW child molestation NOW. I am all ears.

  But then, I am just an old mystic floating in the clouds.

  Right. (Your name wouldn't really be Greg would it? ;) )

  shecky, you are so right.
  To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.

  i'm debating on what to eat. i'm hungry, but nothing sounds good. does that ever happen to you? blast...

  I'm afraid of really big people wearing tiny little clown suits.

  I was going to have a sunshine sandwich, but the onion was foul, so I had a chicken little salad sandwich instead, with purple sherbet in the sky.

  What are your shoes like?
