skally, thanks again for the well wishes... I think the epidemic is universal...as I've said before, monsters use religion. I can't believe how many people have expressed sympathy to my molester since the trial - in sheer numbers, the non Witnesses lead that parade of shame Regardless, my focus is educating people who want to be informed. Hopefully they'll be listening tomorrow!

skally, thanks for your note...the host has already asked me for some sample ?'s..here's what I gave her below. By the way, I do NOT believe the Catholic Church has done squat more than JWs. Just because they were sued by a ton of victims AND HAD TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOMETHING. IE. payouts etc. is not in my opinion a proactive response to the rape of children. I don't see any religions winning the SAVE THE VICTIMS award just yet! Question: In many ways Father's Touch is quite timely, with a wide range of sexual abuse cases and coverups coming to light in the Catholic church, around the world. You mention in your book, "what should have been labelled a crime is instead called 'a sin'" The Church Leaders in your book are, to some extent culpable in your abuse. Do you feel that there is something inherent in organised religions, particular fundamental ones, that encourages this kind of abuse? Question: All through your book, you maintain your faith in God, even when the elders of your religion dismissed your family?s cries for help. What would you say to your Readers, when their elders fail them?

Hey, guys...I love all your responses...this has turned out to be a very interesting thread! Thanks. The only reason I do these interviews is to help other victims know they are not alone, not to blame and have nothing to be ashamed about. If we can make a difference in someone else's life, it is certainly worth it!

Thanks Blondie...it should be interesting. Has anyone here heard Kathleen Brooks interview other sexual abuse survivors? I believe they are posted on the World Talk Radio web site.

I think the unique angle to her is three-fold: one I am a male survivor, two it happened in a Witness family, three, I wrote a book about it.

Wonder if Michael Jackson will tune in? LOL...he should!

My letter: Re Michael Jackson

by morrisamb in

i wrote this letter in response to the article which i've pasted below... .

as an eleven-year male survivor of sexual abuse, i've had an up-close-and-personal bird's eye view of my own version of neverland.

i was very intrigued by your column on michael jackson.

I wrote this letter in response to the article which I've pasted below...

As an eleven-year male survivor of sexual abuse, I've had an up-close-and-personal bird's eye view of my own version of Neverland. I was very intrigued by your column on Michael Jackson.

Two weeks ago, I was interviewed by a Spain Radio Station about the Michael Jackson case as well as my own because of my book, Father's Touch, which not only describes my experience with an abuser but also a very public court case. On air, I said, "We don't need to discuss Mr. Jackson's guilt or innocence regarding the criminal case. Let's discuss what he is guilty of...disrespecting the seriousness of the acts of which has been charged - one ie. dancing on the hood of his car at a preliminary hearing!! Another ie: Sleeping with boys in his bed after a very public prior accusation of child molestation!! Let's not even mention the dangling his child off a balcony in Berlin!!!"

But let me now speak directly to the sexual abuse accusations for a moment..I was one who did not want to believe that Michael Jackson was even remotely guilty. It was not until I read some of the Grand Jury testimony that I flashed back to my own experiences. I heard the language of an abuser. I could never make up the experiences I wrote about in my book -- they are too unique to my abuser's choices and behaviour. Likewise, when I heard language such as, "There's nothing wrong with a little wine - Jesus drank wine", and "The most beautiful thing is sharing your bed", "He showed me pictures of naked women" it hit a little too close to home and I began to crossover to the possibility that something was assunder in Neverland...My abuser introduced me to God while he molested me. He only showed me pornography featuring heterosexual sex acts, predominantly women alone. And I as I shared his bed, I became the surrogate lover to replace the wife that was my mother; I also replaced the adults my father never could develop friendships with as peers. I became Peter Pan's playmate. Also, my Neverland was too surrounded by a fortress (of trees). I too played with a variety of Zoo-like creatures to keep me company - they certainly were a reason to not run away. The animal kingdom were loving, beautiful and normal. Yes, the smallest of creatures were used as bartering tools. The world I lived in was normal - anything outside it was not.

Nevertheless, the fact that this trial has triggered flashbacks for me does not, of course, prove anyone's guilt or innocence. I think your column was spot on in that people get caught up in the obvious aspects of Michael Jackson's behaviour. My abuser, my father, was also one of the strangest men most people would ever have met. That strangeness combined with intelligence, singing ability, a public and reclusive nature kept my father's onlookers at bay. They always stopped and discussed his weirdness. In fact, it often stopped them from opening Pandora's Box and finding a young victim that found his father all too normal. I never was blinded by my King of Pops.

The other amazing coincidence is that my Father was also a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses for a time and then left that faith. He often used their biblical stories to exact the behaviour he wanted.

At the end of your column you wonder whether Jackson will be remembered for the shame or for the art. Whether he is found guilty or innocent, it doesn't matter...people will remember the singing. My father was found guilty. He went to jail. There are three things that people say to me about my father to this day. "Why did you charge him?" "He was so good looking when he was young." And, "I don't think you want to hear this, but boy he could sing."

The strange thing about the Michael Jackson trial is that the supporting actors are more interesting than the star. The weirdness of the King of Pop is so overexposed that no new revelation can shock. Either Jackson is a complete lunatic who slept with young boys and didn't fondle them or he's a complete lunatic who slept with young boys and did.

Better to fixate instead on pass-through characters, like the French-born cooks at Neverland featured in Martin Bashir's "Primetime Live" report "Michael Jackson's Secret World." Who but Michael Jackson would ever hire these two? The wife looks like a war criminal in a blond fright wig. And how about Bashir himself? Why on earth did Jackson and the Princess of Wales both choose to open up their entire lives to this brooding, charm-free figure? He looks about as well-intentioned as the interrogator you meet when you are rendered by the U.S. military -- and seems to wreak the same havoc on his subjects' lives. His fawning letters to Jackson -- "Neverland is an extraordinary, a breathtaking, a stupendous, an exhilarating and amazing place. I can't put together words to describe Neverland" -- are classics of the genre. They're even more journalistically embarrassing than some of the gems I've written myself to elusive interview subjects over the years.

When the young accuser took the stand on Wednesday, one hoped for the start of some moral clarity on the unrelenting awfulness of the cast of characters. But in his first appearance, the kid's testimony was all about being a participant in Jackson's media charade for Martin Bashir.

It makes real crime junkies hanker for the exotic of the normal. That's why the arrest in the BTK case hit with such creepy, compelling force. The suspected serial killer next door, the head of the church council who police said waited in the dark with the phones lines cut -- it returned the world of deviance to the old reality format in which seemingly ordinary people nurture diabolical double lives.

One thought to consider about Jackson himself is whether he is much less weird than meets the eye. Could it be that, like Saddam Hussein's WMD bluff, the whole freak show is a stunt that's gotten out of hand? The thought struck me during Bashir's original 2003 documentary for Britain's ITV, the one that got Jackson indicted. In the low, appalled voice one reserves for especially heinous horrors, Bashir asks, "Is it true that your father used to say you had a fat nose?" Jackson theatrically averts his head at the ghastliness of this memory and then says with a half-weeping snicker: "Yeah . . . You want to die. You want to die. . . . God. It's hard."

You could argue, I guess, that the Fat Nose memory is the Rosebud in Jackson's life, inducing him to internalize self-loathing racial stereotypes to the point that he ended up bleaching his skin, straightening his hair like Morticia in "The Addams Family," and hiding the offending proboscis beneath a surgical mask even after its many surgeries had turned it into a pencil point. But what if Jackson is, in reality, having some sly fun with Bashir and by extension all celebrity journalists hellbent on getting the answers to such piffling questions?What if the whole persona is a scam under the heading of The Emperor's New Nose? After all, Jackson has shown plenty of business smarts in his time. The fey Peter Pan who tells Bashir his favorite pastimes are climbing trees and having water balloon fights was still canny enough to buy the Beatles' lucrative song catalogue.

An interview with Jackson's ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley by Chris Heath in Rolling Stone in April 2003 would support the "secretly sane" theory. "I was always saying [to Jackson] people wouldn't think I was so crazy if they saw who the hell you really are," Presley told Heath. "That you sit around, and you drink and you curse and you're [expletive] funny and you have a bad mouth, and you don't have that high voice all the time. I don't know why you think that works for you, because it doesn't anymore."

Ms. Presley, to be sure, has a reason to portray Jackson as less bizarre than people assume. Marrying someone most people regard as an extraterrestrial freak didn't do a whole lot for her image. ("Ok. Hello," she expounds. "I was delusionary. " I got some romantic idea in my head that I could save him and save the world.") But it might add some genuine dramatic tension if Jackson turned out to be pop music's version of Vincent "The Chin" Gigante, the Mafia boss who fooled the justice system for years by shuffling around the streets of Greenwich Village mumbling to himself in his bedroom slippers and bathrobe. If this were true, of course, it would also mean Jackson is just a plain old garden-variety ped, albeit one who instead of hanging around public playgrounds built his own at Neverland.

Harder to figure out is the behavior of the alleged victim's mother, who handed over her sick kid to sleep in the bedroom of a previously accused child molester. Perhaps scientists will discover that celebrity is a virus that can infect the psyche's immune system as pervasively as HIV takes over the body's. It infected everyone in the Jackson case from the accuser's family to the defendant himself. Jackson started out a little strange, to be sure, but he lost his boundaries altogether only because he got the absolute permission that superstars enjoy to indulge the outer limits of narcissism.

It's hard to know if Jackson will one day be seen as a repellent relic of celebrity culture, or another Oscar Wilde or Vivaldi, an artist persecuted for something or other we can't recall. Even the people who are absolutely sure he's guilty don't want to stop listening on their iPods to "Thriller" and "Billie Jean." That's a question neither conviction nor acquittal can answer yet -- whether Jackson will be remembered for the shame or for the art.

Jehovah's Witnesses and... are my magazine's cover story

by morrisamb in

i have been invisable here of late as i have so many projects on the go.

my magazine q has taken off here in london, canada.

each month i will have an overall theme...october's is faith and we'll be dealing with several different belief systems.

morrisamb

Haven't been here in ages..but I did promise to post the blood cover story from my mag...here it is: (By the way, only received positive response to the cover painting and this story. For once I wanted to be able to read an article that tried to present both sides of the story from a report's sensibility.) Blood: Curse or Cure? By K. D. One day, each of us will experience death. For Bethany Hughes, this day came early. Before she reached the age of twenty, she was abruptly seized by the merciless talons of leukemia. Before Bethany began her short life, her parents, Arliss and Lawrence, had moved to Calgary from Ontario seeking a brighter future. During this arduous time of transition, Lawrence Hughes says he met a man on a bus who seemed to make sense to him. This man spoke of salvation, and referred to scriptures and other printed material that seemed relevant to Hughes? situation. The man represented a world-wide community which includes over one hundred thousand members in Canada who call themselves Jehovah?s Witnesses. They assert that there is a ?Life-Giver? named Jehovah who, ?created the world and everything in it, and who is Lord of heaven and earth.? (Acts 17:24) Further, they share a common belief that God has dictated instructions for human conduct which are, ?for our lasting good,? and that these are articulated in the Christian Bible. As Lawrence and Arliss established themselves in Calgary, the local congregation of Jehovah?s Witnesses gradually became more central to their lives. Lawrence recounts that while they did have some outside business acquaintances, all of their solid friendships were formed within this group. He alleges that members were actively discouraged from bonding with people outside the congregation, and that for the next two decades, every aspect of his life was enveloped by the philosophy espoused by Jehovah?s Witnesses. During this time, Arliss gave birth to three daughters, the second of whom was Bethany Abigail Hughes. Early in February 2002, Bethany complained about a cough and some swelling in her neck. Her doctor prescribed antibiotics for what he thought was the flu, but the symptoms persisted. Blood tests were ordered, and as a result of these tests, she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). At the Alberta Children?s Hospital in Calgary, doctors prescribed a program of intense chemotherapy with accompanying blood transfusions ? a common protocol for treating AML, which is a lethal cancer that is uncommon in young people. But this created conflict because as Jehovah?s Witnesses, Bethany and her parents believed that receiving blood products would be a violation of God?s law. ?Whatever is in the Bible is inspired by God, and it is true; it is accurate. There?s no room for loopholes,? says Mark Ruge, Public Information Director for the Witnesses? Watchtower Society in Canada. He goes on to explain that the Bible specifically provides guidance on the matter of blood: ?The life of every living creature is its blood: every man who eats it will be cut off.? (Leviticus 17:14) Ruge says that Jesus Christ reiterated this law during his lifetime and that it should be interpreted to mean that ?true Christians? in the modern world should not consume blood in any manner including by transfusion. While time was running out for Bethany, Lawrence was being pulled in two directions. On one hand his congregation and its elders were reminding him of his commitment to the laws of Jehovah. On the other hand, respected medical professionals were telling him that without the blood transfusions, Bethany would die. Faced with this dilemma, Lawrence turned to the Bible and began reading aloud to his daughter. He engaged in what he calls, ?a deep and serious study and investigation of my Jehovah?s Witness faith, particularly with respect of the Society?s condemnation of blood transfusions.? As he reviewed these familiar words, somehow the ancient passages began to seem less and less relevant to Bethany?s situation. He began to perceive a new message in the Bible which for him was more important ? the ?sanctity? of life. To him, this meant he should do whatever was necessary to save his daughter. He decided to trust the doctors and to give his consent for the prescribed treatment. Because he had acted in a manner contrary to the Society?s doctrine on blood, Lawrence claims he was banished from the congregation and he says that his wife and daughters were vehemently discouraged from having contact with him. In an affidavit he writes, ?Arliss packed a suitcase and left me one hour after I signed a consent form for Bethany to receive blood transfusions.? [Despite repeated attempts, neither Arliss nor her counsel could be reached for comment.] Mark Ruge concedes that the Society does have a procedure for ?disfellowshiping wrongdoers? which is employed as a last resort to ?keep the organization clean,? but he finds it hard to believe that Jehovah?s Witnesses would suddenly decide to question the foundations of their faith ? even in life-or-death situations ? given the commitment of study and reflection which is required for membership. ?This situation doesn?t exist ? all of a sudden they?re on the operating table and, ?Oh, boy! I wonder if I really want to be one of Jehovah?s Witnesses.? It doesn?t happen!? ?To become one of Jehovah?s Witnesses is not an easy thing. It?s not like being a month-old baby getting baptized into some church organization. To become one of Jehovah?s Witnesses takes months; for some people it takes years.? Ruge says that prospective members must devote hours to the digestion and discussion of large volumes of printed material. ?We have a lot to read besides the Bible ? articles on blood and whatever. When one feels that they have a real good grasp on the basic Bible doctrines, then if they believe it ? if they say, ?yes I can see how all of this is right; I agree with it all. I still want to be one of Jehovah?s Witnesses? ? only then they can get baptized.? ?Being one of Jehovah?s Witnesses isn?t an emotional thing. It?s thinking it out. That?s why there are no infant baptisms at all. Everybody who gets baptized has to be of an age where they know very clearly what they?re doing and what they?re getting into.? Beyond doctrines and procedures, Ruge is frankly concerned about the quality of information being given to people in hospitals. ?There have been tens of thousands of people who have been told, ?If you take a blood transfusion you will live.? They took the blood transfusions and they died. There are hundreds and hundreds of cases where Jehovah?s Witnesses have been told, ?If you don?t take a blood transfusion you?re going to die.? They didn?t take blood and they lived. So what?s the story? When somebody says, ?If you don?t take blood you?re going to die,? that?s fiction! They don?t know that!? ?Blood is dynamite,? Ruge adds. ?There?s AIDS and hepatitis and all of this that one can get from blood. Every time they find a new disease that?s in blood, they find a cure or they filter it out and then blood is supposedly safe. Then something else happens, and then something else. AIDS probably isn?t the last of what will be found in blood.? ?As Jehovah?s Witnesses, we don?t take blood because the Bible says so. But there are so many blood alternative treatments that don?t have the complications, so why would anyone want to take blood?? Bethany?s chemotherapy protocol continued, and during this time she received thirty-eight blood transfusions. She and her mother continued to oppose this, and at times Bethany was physically restrained during her treatments. Her condition ebbed and flowed, but by late June, 2002, her health appeared to Lawrence to have deteriorated. He claims that at that time she had developed ?skin cancer lesions? on her back, but that her leukemia was in remission. She had endured her fourth round of chemotherapy and was due for release within weeks. ?Whenever you take chemotherapy it makes you very ill,? says Lawrence. ?It brings you as close to death as you can get. So the fact that she was very ill wasn?t surprising.? Childhood Leukemia: The Facts, a manual endorsed by the Leukemia Research Fund, describes chemotherapy as the most common treatment for childhood leukemia, noting that it has shown a fifty-percent success rate. Success is defined as achieving remission ? a state which may not necessarily solidify the patient?s long-term survival. Additionally, listed under the heading ?Complications of Chemotherapy? are, among other things, bone marrow failure, anaemia and lack of white cells ? some of the very problems it is intended to cure. For this reason, chemotherapy is often buttressed by blood transfusions, and sometimes people survive the disease but succumb to the treatment. Zenon Bodnaruk of the Watchtower Society?s Hospital Information Service says most doctors tend to stick with hospital Cancer Treatment Protocols and that these frequently call for chemotherapy. He calls this a ?toxic therapy,? and claims that some of these protocols are not sensitive to the tolerance of the individual to drugs. He feels that the treatments should be flexible and tailored to the needs of each patient, and that this would help to reduce marrow and blood cell damage and thus lessen the need for transfusions. He claims reason to be optimistic about recent developments in medicine, which seem to have a future as alternatives to blood-intensive supports for cancer therapies. According to Bodnaruk the key to some of these bloodless therapies lies in stem cells, which are tissue wildcards that live within the marrow and can become whatever type of cell the body may require. One among several therapies he finds exciting is called a peripheral blood stem cell transplant where a patient?s blood is processed by a stem cell separator and then returned to the body. This device collects and stores stem cells which can then be cultured and infused into the marrow when they are needed to attack leukemia cells, and to stimulate regeneration of vital blood components. On September 6, 2002, only a few months after the initial diagnosis, and just shortly after her seventeenth birthday, Bethany died at the Cross Cancer Institute near Edmonton, Alberta. The record is unclear on exactly what happened during the preceding few months, but throughout that summer, Lawrence claims that Bethany was with her mother, and that she contacted him a few times but did not disclose her location. Lawrence filed a lawsuit August 25, 2004 on behalf of himself and the estate of Bethany Hughes. In his statement of claim, he alleges that his former wife and the Society, ?overtly influenced Bethany to believe that blood transfusions were wrong and would not help cure her cancer.? The statement continues, ?Bethany did not have the life or developmental experience which would allow her to question her Jehovah?s Witness faith or the Society?s teachings,? and that she, ?did not have the capacity to give knowing consent to a medical treatment which did not include transfusions.? Mark Ruge says that people just do not usually find themselves in this situation. He says that members are encouraged to consider all of the consequences of refusing blood treatments and to discuss any concerns openly with elders and other members. Ruge feels that this should be a non-issue anyhow because the physical benefits of bloodless treatments are demonstrable. He states, ?There are a lot of people who check into hospitals as Jehovah?s Witnesses even though they?re not. They are just smart enough to know that blood is fraught with problems, and they don?t want to have to go through the hassle of trying to convince a doctor.? Two parents grieve, the battle rolls on, and Bethany rests. All biblical citations from The New English Bible; Oxford University Press: 1970 Further Resources: Childhood Leukemia: The Facts John S.

Under74..thanks! Mike Lew is based out of Boston. Little ol me in Canada just decided to contact him and take a wild chance that he might look at my manuscript. I never expect or assume anything, but the idea that someone would say no does not stop me from asking.

Thanks for your support!
