  Bill Bowen "Kidneys"

  as a mystical christian, i am just as distressed about child molestation as is mr bowen.

  however i wonder about this man's motives.

  why did he choose to handle his row with the witness organization in this way?

  Hlda:

  For several years I waited on God to fix the problems within the Organization. I struggled at the highest levels to instigate change from within. I sat and watched children die due to the blood issue. Two of them dying in front of me.

  While at Bethel, I received report after report of elders abusing the flock emotionally and occasionally sexually. I saw the underbelly of this group self-proclaimed God's Chosen People, The Watchtower Society, and let me tell you, it isn't pretty.

  Are you now saying to the children who have been abused, "Shhhhh just endure the abuse. Remain quiet, Jehovah loves those covering over a matter?" Meanwhile these children are emotionally scarred for life. Yes, let's just wait on god.

  I am sorry but there are thousands of cases of abuse within the Jehovah's Witness religion in the States alone. How much longer do you feel the silent lambs should wait on God? How many Jews died waiting on God in 1941-45. How many children have to wait on this same God to end their suffering at the hands of perverse and mentally sick people?

  How long do they wait?

  This issue is larger than Bill Bowen and it is not about Bill. He is the first to admit it. If however by his actions he can turn the high beams on this dark and closely hidden secret, more power to him!

  If you cannot understand the anger of some here, I would encourage you to read some of the personal experiences found on this forum. Most of us have had that line ("wait on Jehovah") shoved down our throats and used as a controlling device against us by the Elders and the Society.

  Forgive us if we flinch when we see the same whip that has been used against us.

  ha, never thought you'd see a post with that as a title...... anyway, i thought credit should be given where credit is due, for his removal of my personal pic when someone who calls themself "bigdaddy" posted it in a thread on kent's site.

  i don't know who this "bigdaddy" person is, or how they got my pic.

  how strange they weren't "big" enough to use their real name.

  Imbue:

  I getthe feeling I know you froma previous incarnation of yourself..however, that being said, I am wondering if oyu could clarify your post above

  ...shouldn't throw stones a in glass house...

  Was this directed at Wendy? TeeJay? Prisca? All the above?

  Regardless, I am curious if you feel it is ethical to post the picture of someone known to be inactive. Of course you (collective you not you individual) realize that by doing so, you are identifying someone to the WatchTower and they can thus form a judical committee getting them disfellowshipped and shunned by their family.

  How would you catagorize someone who would do such a thing? What would you say about someone who would post a pic, full mailing address, and phone number of an inactive person?

  I noted that the objection to the picture being posted was not about the low life scum that would do such a thing but rather that it just wasn't welcome there. It was almost encouraged to post it elsewhere. Very telling comment IMO about the moral ethics or lack thereof of some people.

  I look forward to your clarifying as to who your comment was directed.

  Will silentlambs Be DF???

  by silentlambs in

  well now we have it, what appears to be the pre-emptive strike from wt.. as of this friday three families who appeared on the dateline program have been informed judicial committees have been setup with a one week notice and it is alleged that they have been causing "divisions" within the organization.

  i got my letter today, barbara anderson got hers yesterday and the other family earlier this week.. if you were a pr firm would you think it to be a good idea or a bad idea to df everyone a couple of weeks before the dateline program airs?

  what do you think the american public will think of such a move?.

  Yeru:

  Two things:

  1. you might want to delete the family name used in your post. They had deleted it from their posts a couple of days ago. Just a heads up.

  2. Very cool signature graphic! LOL

  Dana:

  Sorry about the coffee and also the sore back. Offering you a clean towel to wipe up.

  It isn't surprising..all that banging and slamming up and down you were doing. The key is all in the legs and thighs. More muscle control there ...it feels comforting and shows who is control when your thighs and legs are pressing firmly.

  Also keeping your upper body more relaxed, moving with the motion, becoming one fluid movement...It is less jarring on the back that way, but when you are really going for it, the slamming is inevitable. Don't worry now that you are starting to do it daily, it will get better.

  I was going to suggest asking Tracy for advice, but now that she is married she probably doesn't have the time, nor the desire to do it very often. {{Shrug}}} that happens sometimes.

  Well it's like I told you, you can never have too much of that. The trouble walking thing means you weren't used to it or just doing it too hard. When you next come up here I'll do it with you and show you some techniques and better positions that I learned.

  I used to do it quite often but am a little out of practice so it would do me good as well.

  Talk to you soon

  What's happening to Violetanai?

  2. friends

  i haven't read all the responses from yesterday but i know many of you will have "made a good account of yourselves".

  why can't we help her?

  i know from the number of people that i converted that there is a turning point at which time you stop being receptive to outside advice and opinions.

  Dung:

  I am not sure what is inspiring you to start with all these personal attacks. This is not the same DungBeetle from even 6 months ago. What is with the activist angst you have been showing here lately?

  Who cares if Violet goes back to meetings if she is happy?
  If she is a troll people will soon recognise that fact?
  How do your current tactics with such ones really help?

  Yes there are WT people following thi site, but paranoia will not help matters. A WT spy is not going to be as upfromnt about their association as Violet has done. While she may be ignoring the logic presented I do not see how that warrants the attacks from you or others.

  I guess I must be missing something

  Response to Pathofthorns

  2. friends

  i have watched the intentional effort by pathofthorns to defend wt policy and create misinformation regarding the silentlambs effort.

  are you being paid by wt for your lies?

  why do you create boundaries for silentlambs and question them when you know as well as i that we do not stand or take that position?.

  Making this a personal issue only serves to damage Bill and his efforts.

  I can state the following FACTS:

  Path is not a WT or pedophile supporter.
  Bill is not a WT or pedophile supporter.
  Both have somewhat differing views.
  Both are on the same side whether they can see it or not.

  Fighting and trying to breed suspicion only results in the WT winning.
