The Dateline segment just ended. I stood up and cheered!
Erica. Bill. Barbara. The Pandelos. All of you who are fighting this good fight. I want to say thank you to each of you. Thank you for your courage. Thank you for your sacrifices for what is right.
In our world of instant news and short attention spans, one may easily think that this story will be forgotten like so many "15 minutes of fame". It won't be forgotten, my friends. The word is out and it has been heard.
The battle has not been won, but a strong offensive has been mounted and it is one that will not easily be silenced. There will be victories in this battle, such as tonight, and there will also be defeats. Regardless, this battle must continue until it is won. When it is won will be the day that pedophiles no longer find refuge in the back rooms of Kingdom Halls. Victory will be won when the leadership of Jehovah's Witnesses instead of "declining comment on camera" deals as forcefully with the perpetrators as they have with the victims.
The Bible tells us that all hidden things will be uncovered, and we can have faith in what God tells us. Jesus told us that even a sparrow falling to its death is not unnoticed by God. And just as Jesus showed his love for little children, so will this not go unnoticed and unpunished.
Keep up the fight, Silent Lambs!
Love,
Mike.
