Is Ray Franz Great or What?

this evening i had a nice conversation with ray and we discussed our previous conversation.

while our previous conversation was remembered differently in certain areas we agreed that we should be peaceful with one another, i apologized for any misunderstanding and decided as a result to remove any negative comments made about him.

i do believe our discussion was productive and will help us both to be more supportive of one another in the future.

The late great 'Brother' Bowen

the high and mighty william h. bowen and friends.

most people in the world who would know of bill bowens (and friends) efforts on behalf of the adult survivors of childhood abuse (asca) would applaud his efforts and maybe even help to a greater or lesser degree.

many a political representative and elected legislator have certainly voiced their agreement with the sentiments expressed by mr. bowen and his supportersas evidenced by recent passage of tougher child abuse reporting laws in some states, with plenty more in the works.

watchtower and men

thanks to bill bowen and others like him, women and children are finally getting more of their fair share of attention, not just from the media and the medical field, but also from the ex jehovahs witnessesmovement and its ever-growing numbers of non-witness supporters.

much has been said on the private and public discussion boards concerning the known damage to the more vulnerable and less-empowered contingent of this religion-based corporation; less has been said about the damage done to those that make up the leadership and power base of the watchtowerthe men.. from the time that witness men are boys, they are taught not just that women are lesser and weaker (notice that they are not weaker when men are not present, such as isolated congregations; nor are they weaker when they are the single heads of families) but that the men must exercise headship over the women.
