I wanted to express to you how I felt at the vicious conduct of Fred Hell towards you earlier today, but I did not want to post it to his thread. As a general rule I avoid posting to Troll threads; it only helps them to get their rocks off.
I just wanted you to know how much I admire you and admired the way you stood up to him today. Insensitive people like that do not think about anyone else, only themselves. This is partly the reason the NY Times article villifying the uncaring JW hierarchy came out today. It is their own selfish position that has put them in this situation. Rather than expressing love and concern for the victims, they chose to circumvent justice and ignore the pain and suffering of innocent victims.
I just thought that I had to tell you this. I can empathize with you. I too had something occur in my childhood. It was not as extreme as the other stories I have heard, but it was something I have never forgotten. I am so sorry that you went through this and then had to be subjected to Fred Hell today. It was just adding insult to injury and was very inappropriate. I think you are a very courageous person. Unfortunately there are many Fred's in this world, but it is my wish for you that will find nothing but support on this forum in the future.
Love,
Tammy
