Cavalier:
Is there a store in town, that you know of, that may carry back copies of the Enquirer? I know I can read it at the main library, or for that matter any of the neighborhood branches, but the issue of the print paper, containing the actual ink-on-paper article, would be a huge help. See Bobgirls family would benefit greatly from reading this article. If they saw the Times piece, their response might be different than "what in the hell are you doing in the paper", or let me ask your father if I can talk to you, which was their brilliant and supportive commentary the last time they were confronted by a Silent Lambs related story in print. Of course, they were a bit shocked by the last story they read dealing with the silent lambs issue. They had no idea Tema was attending the candle light vigil, much less interviewed for the AP article, and, were more-or-less rocked by her stating that she was a silent lamb and that (shock!) furthermore she supported other victims decisions to come forward. Sure, to a normal family, that might be cause for, jeeps Im with you, or, hope your doing OK, calls but in the loving atmosphere of Jehovahs organization its one step closer to family shunning. Twisted, f***ing twisted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, deep breath.
Anyhow, this article doesnt hit so close to home, for their cult ravaged family, and since their daughter the trouble maker, believing as she does that children in the org should be better protected from molesters is nowhere to be found, it may have the affect of lending additional credibility to her efforts to bring about change in her families thinking.
Alternatively, if you have a copy to spare, Id greatly appreciate it. I would even pay. Email me, Im unlocking the email now, or post to this thread.
Thanks in advance.
