DETAILS:
This is the first public event ever for child rape victims of Jehovah's
Witnesses. According to William H. Bowen founder of silentlambs, "We
allege that Watchtower has established a child abuse policy that has
ignored abuse survivors, protected child molesters and disfellowshipped
those who have tried to support them. This will be a public statement
that leadership for Jehovah 's Witnesses (Governing Body) must stop
hurting children." Silentlambs is formerly requesting the church to
establish a tribunal to prosecute the governing body for their crimes
against children.
