    [ Dear Bill O'Reilly,

    I sent a few emails re: this man Bill Bowen and his
    site silentlambs.org. He was also a part of the
    Dateline MSNBC show Tuesday 5/28/02 where John Larson
    investigated (story is still developing rapidly) the
    religious Organization Jehovah's Witnesses have
    thousands of cases of child sex abuse. You got that
    mail too.

    Here is Bowen's attoreys letter to those very elders
    of his congregation:

    (bulk of letter)

    DATELINE (MAY 28,2002) TRANSCRIPT:
    < http://www.silentlambs.org/dateline_transcript.htm
    --------------------------------
    Will you call them and schedule them for 'The O'Reilly
    Factor'? Many of your audience is waiting on your
    reply. Myself and many others watch and listen to you
    daily to see WHEN YOU WILL HAVE ANYTHING ON ABOUT
    THIS ORGANIZATIONS. Please sir, with due respect
    (which I'd like show in return by airing what the
    public must see) you report yea, but why is it you get
    to decide what we get to see? BE FAIR. Call Mr.
    Bowen and his attorney, please.

    We will be waiting...

    Bill,

    You are in my and many peoples' prayers.

    OK, because no one addressed my comments, I'll ask again:

    Why are you putting up with all of this unwanted contact, Bill? They are totally ignoring your lawyer's polite requests to stop contacting you unless it is through him.

    YES it is a brilliant letter--for the normal population. But JWS think they are outside the law....

    I suspect the elders will say that Bill has disassociated himself by his actions.

    Remember it's a private club, they can hide behind that.

    Matrix how dare you accuse Bill of not being a member in good standing? The simple proof is that only members in good standing even get such letters. If he were already DFed or DAed they wouldn't bother.

    So you a new dub Matrix? Hang around, lots for you to learn.

    It's obvious to me that the elders---who must have absolutely NO LIFE--are behaving in such a way, they are trying to push Bill into going to court against the elders.

    Wham! Bam!! Forcible DA.

    If Bill is trying not to be manipulated, but deal with the situation in an offensive way and not defensive, one can hardly blame him.

    I hate seeing him jerked around this way.

    And if I've said it before, I'll say it again. What those elders did, in not showing up for rape and molestation survivors and their advocates, absolutely supports the cases of Erica and the Berry girls.

    For if elders are willing to treat these suvivors that way, IN PUBLIC, IN FRONT OF CAMERAS,

    HOW DO YOU THINK ELDERS TREAT THEM IN KINGDOM HALL PRIVATE BACK ROOMS?

    What judge in any court, what jury member in any trial, has a reason to believe anything out of the mouth of a JW?

    Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no...UNLESSOF COURSE YOU ARE A JW.

    DIE WATCHTOWER DIE LIKE THE SICK HOPELESS ANIMAL YOU ARE.

    BEFORE YOU TRY AND REMOVE THE STICK FROM MY ARSE, REMOVE THE TELEPHONE POLE FROM YOUR OWN ARSE.

    I feel sorry for the three stooges too.

    But you know what, if they have to suffer consequences like being sued for blindly following a cult, then it's better in the long run. They will see the Watchtower for what it really is and it puts every other elder on notice to be careful not to let themselves be the fall-guys for the WTS.

    Dear Brother Bowen,

    We have received your attorney's letter of May 30, 2002 in which you request a postponement of the judicial committee hearing which was to have taken place on the 31st of May. We are pleased to see from Mr. Hunt's letter that you do not intend to be disfellowshippcd or disassociate yourself. Be assured that our meeting with you is, just an extension of our shepherding work. We desire to render spiritual aid in Christian love. (Galatians 6:1) Since this is a congregational matter we will be handling it following congregation procedures, and so we appreciate, our relationship is not adversarial, but as brothers, - Matthew 23:8.

    You suggest meeting with us on the 28th of June after 6:00 p.m. We would like to meet as soon as possible rather than postpone this matter until June 28. With this in mind, we would like to meet with you on Wednesday, June 12, 2002, at 6:00 p.m. If this is unavailable to you please contact me.

    Your brother,

    George Bandana
    Chairman Judicial Committee

    P.S. As a courtesy, we are providing Mr. Hunt with a copy of this letter.

    C: L. Rush Hunt, Esq.
