he is a "babe magnet" .
yes, those that met me over the weekend at the silentlambs vigil know that in person i am a shy and reserved type.
when it came to picture taking time..who could resist.
Well these pics made my day. I've been in a self-imposed 'hiding' since Dateline, dealing with the emotional aftermath... but omg.. alanF... yer too much. LOL That first pic - you look like yer blushing, but as Naebs said- not fighting it at all. Then JulieF took out the flash light and Mulan added the piece de resistence (sp).
thanks dearly, and hugs,

my book father's touch about my experience with sexual abuse as a jehovah's witness made the cover and inside section of belgium's newspaper, kraant van west vlaanderen.. check out this link to read the headlines and then the two windows to see the images.. http://www.fatherstouch.com/about.htm
Congrats Morrisamb! I look forward to reading it. The poster with the idea of getting the local library to order it is a fantastic idea.

as a few of you know, i almost became a jw just a short time ago.
thankfully, i did not.
the dateline piece was done well and should only be the start of the destruction of this elitist holy club.
imissthedub - welcome! I look forward to getting to know you.

i thought it would be interesting if we started count here on this board.
please list how many you know personally, then add from the previous results, to keep a running tally.
i realize it wont be an accurate count but perhaps an estimate of those that we know or are aquatinted with.. i'll start.. 3 +.
I know 4.
this was prepared and presented far better than i could have ever imagined.. to all you individuals that stood up to goliath.
i am so proud to be in assoication with such strong people.. thank you bill for your efforts and willingness to put a name and face in front of the cameras spearheading this effort.. thank you dateline.
is it too early to look for a sequel?
Excellent. Dateline did an incredible job. Bravo Bill and Silentlambs!
I ditto Lonewolf - now is the time to get noisy.

they won't hear about it from you, and not by me.. by who?.
the angry person opening the door during "field service".
i think the "do not call" list is about to get a tad longer.. another problem, associated with the issue of victims within the organization, is that the public is now in jeopardy of contact with unreported pedophiles.. whether the jehovah witnesses like it or not, the box that they live in still resides in within our communities.
Oh the JW gossip mill and the public gossip mills will ensure the word gets around about this.
J.R. Brown's ears oughta be fryin out of his puny brain right about now.
Never - ever - underestimate the gossip mill. LOL

this is a very long story that i will try to condense.
it will still probably be too long.
life is good for us now that we know the real truth.
Laurie - welcome,and safe hugs. That you or anyone else has to endure that is sickening. Vent here as much as you like.
THe idea of him being in good standing even now, is sickening to us too.
I think sickening is one of the main words of the night. That on one hand - and the strength of people like you on the other.

while dateline was showing an assembly did anyone else see the woman sitting in the bleachers yawning?
.
devon
yep - sure did. I wonder if they'll hunt her down and Df her for bringing reproach on the organization !?

well, i am bucking the general consensus here that everything went well on dateline.
i thought it was fine as far as it went but looking at it through the local jw eyes it will not get what you all and i hoped for.
the show didn't put proof on all the cases we all know about.
plmkrzy - I hardly think that was a fair comment. Ritual abuse does exist. 'Grooming children for sex' does exist. And your comment is comparable to someone visiting this site and not believing a certain post and then saying nothing here is to be taken seriously.
Dateline did an excellent job. If you're going to pick out posters on the Silentlambs site - pick one of the ones that say 'yer all apostates or this site is run by Satan'.
Please don't judge someone's experience from a single post.
hugs,

what a lying bastard!.
anyways, my bro-in-law told me about how he had to sit at browns' table for 2 weeks.. one morning, one particular brother took himself a big serving of oatmeal while jr brown watched.
after the brother finished serving himself, brown said: .
dantheman - what the HELL does color or race have to do with this? If that is your focus, you are missing the entire point.
