    It's too bad the papers are all using the article exactly as it's given to them (I guess these papers are all owned by the same company?) and haven't done anything to connect it to their local readers. But it is a good article. There is something about JR Brown saying "we don't see them as our enemies" that does set the tone, doesn't it. Enemies? Is this an appropriate term for this conversation?

    I was at this conference and will be starting a topic later with practical ways JWs and ex-JWs can combat institutional/religious abuse. I was very encouraged and pumped up being there, meeting those who have been in the videos from the US and Sweden and learning what I can in my area. So watch for that or go to www.silentlambs.org.

    But I would like to put my personal spin on it.

    J. R. Brown, public affairs spokesman at world headquarters of the Witnesses' Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, in New York City, said the religion agrees with silentlambs' goal "to minimize or eliminate the sexual abuse of children," but disputes the group's specific allegations. "We do not view them as our enemies," Brown said.

    Oh pu-lease............Does J.R. Brown really think that anyone believes such a bullshit statement? If those associated with Silent Lambs are not "viewed as the enemy", then why was Bill Bowen disfellowshipped in the first place? This guy's as asshole of the first order...........how the hell does he sleep at night............
