    Yeru, I didnt make it up to KY until Friday evening. Sorry I didnt get the chance to meet you and your Family. If you go back thru Clarksville let me know and maybe some of us can meet.

    Myself,

    I'm already back in South Carolina (short trip). Are you from Clarksville?

    Hi Yeru, You decribed your experience in Ky so beautifully. I was glad your wife and daughter were there for you. I wish we could have been with all the roaring lambs. Yes, Bill and Barb are truly remarkable. They are both very special. Tonight when Dateline airs it will be a culmination of all they worked hard to accomplish. It is not easy to give up so much at the hands of the Watchtower, but it is rewarding to know that doing something has made a difference for so many.

    You are a Catholic, right? You told reporters that you were a victim of child abuse. But, your abuser wasn't one of Jehovah's Witnesses was he? If not, then it seems that you deliberately gave them the wrong impression. Tell us, since you are a Catholic, did you make the trek to Boston to shout down the Vatican? If not that makes you are a hypocrite. / You Know

    I gave the impression that I was molested by a JW? You were there to hear this? No? SO how do you know WHAT impression I gave the reporter? I told the reporter that I was NOT a JW, but that I was abused as a Child and therefore support those who protest child abuse regardless of their religious denomination.

    If I had a reason to pass through Boston on a trip then yes I would protest. As it is I've been quite vocal with any Catholic that will listen that Cardinal Law must resign, and that the Policy on how Bishops handle this must be fixed. This includes writing my diocese bishop who is also head of the US Bishops conference about my feelings.

    You know what the big difference is, I don't have to fear a Judicial committee being formed because I disapprove of the Churches handling and demand action.

    Yerusalyim,

    It was so nice to meet your family, they are beautiful. You are a man of much patience dealing with your past and your wifes. Please have her e-mail, if she wants.

    Well, I grew up in Missouri and for those who live in the country it is pronounced as Farkel "foenetikally" said it. But those that live elsewhere say it with a long eee on the end. (it's the "show me" state, can you tell? )

    Hugs to you and your family, Yerusalyim

    Yeru,

    I am east of Clarksville but not that far from there.
    I am glad you were there as support for the victims of abuse, you know true empathy.
