When the silent lambs issue first came up, it got stomped on by Watchtower. But another head came up to take its place, and another and another. It is interesting to go back through time and watch Watchtower play wack-a-mole with the advocates for these children. In the end, Watchtower lost. The game, the prize, everything. It ain't just over, it is soooo over.
When the 'Ray Franz' issue first came up, it got stomped on by a laot of people. But another head came up to take its place, and another and another. It is interesting to go back through time and watch these persons play wack-a-mole with the critics of Ray Franz. In the end, you have lost. The game, the prize, everything. It ain't just over, it is soooo over.
The truth will come out no matter what happens. This is only a discussion board. There is a whole big world out there. This issue will slowly wend its way out into the big world; specifically the media and the courtrooms.
I've said it before and I say it again, slowly.
allegations of child abuse should be turned over to, and left in, the hands of trained and experienced professionals.
allegations of conspiacry to aid and abet and harbor child abusers (that's where Ray Fraz and many others come in) should be turned over to, and left in, the hands of trained and experienced professionals.
That is what Bill Bowen and I and thousands of silent lambs are in the process of doing right now. Leaving it in the hands of professionals. Whatever apologies we may have to offer, we are in the process of saving them them untill after the dust has cleared.
For myself, these forums are a great place to come and share feelings about what we have seen and heard. But the idea that something someone says here (for or against any person) is earth-shattering and will affect 6 billion people in the world, is just ridiculous. Neither Bill Bowen's nor Ray Franz's 'reputation' is going to live or die because of words on this forum.
I can assure you that the whole Ray Franz issue is in the hands of trained and experienced proffessionals, that is where it is going to stay. Bill and I are in teh process of doing what we have been telling Watchtower to do: leave it up to the professionals and turn our energy back to our work.
