GO BILL!!!! I am so proud of you for speaking out and for handling all this in a mature way. I know it has to be hard on you to do all this considering how long you were a witness but you have done the right thing for the silent lambs. You have done more for these people and for others that might actually see the truth than the WTBTS ever has given. They give hope, you give reality!!!!! I also wanted some information on what is going to be done with the silent lambs that showed up at the candle light vigil??? I mean when I was a witness that would have been looked at as following an apostate since it was not the WTBTS that organized this. But.... non the less I am so proud of every single one of you guys that have made this problem "REAL" in the eyes of the world, and also in the eyes of the ones that are not so brainwashed that they can see the light!!!!!
Never leave the ones you love...but..Never love the ones that left. ;)

Thanks for sharing that Kenneson! They have dug their hole, and now they are wallowing in their own crap. I can't wait til Tuesday, and for the after effects of their cowardliness.

From Courier-Journal and wire dispatches
DRAFFENVILLE
No hearing held on excommunication
An excommunication hearing for a former Jehovah's Witnesses
elder didn't occur as scheduled last night because the three
elders assigned to hear his case failed to appear.
Bill Bowen, 44, of Draffenville, faces expulsion from the
church for speaking out against its handling of sex-abuse
allegations. He claims child-abuse allegations are not typically
reported to authorities because of the church's policy of
handling problems internally.
Bowen and about 50 allies gathered in front of the Draffenville
Kingdom Hall before his scheduled 7:30 p.m. hearing.
But elders never arrived, he said.
''I'm quite perplexed,'' Bowen said. ''They gave me the time, the
address and the location in writing. There was no
misunderstanding on my part.''
Bowen resigned as an elder in 2000 to protest the church's
policy.
Church leaders deny wrongdoing.
