As you see in the Erica Rodriguez case and the Paul Berry Case Jehovah's Witnesses offered character statements for convicted child molesters that remained members of the congregation. There character statements for both men were very similar in which they first identified what a good worker the molester was how honest he was and how some would want him to baby sit their children. It appears home office is coercing members into offering character statements for child molesters as well as offering them a guideline as to what to say. If you were a child molester what better refuge could you have?
Apparently this information was part of the congregation record as well in that Howard Kanhe was disfellowshipped in the early summer of 2002 for confessing to child molestation yet he was reinstated latte summer of 2002 due to his great 'repentance.' At silentlambs we have to wonder how beating your victim when they attempt to press charges qualifies as repentance.
These young women should be supported and we are asking anyone that can to be there at the Riverside District court and stand with them on their side of the courtroom. Up to this point they have stood alone against the intimidation tactics of the local Jehovah's Witnesses. If you can come or support someone else to be there please send a donation to silentlambs. Can you assist with airfare? If so let us know as we have that that would like to be there that need assistance in this regard.
We are asking each person that attends to bring a toy lamb to represent the victims of abuse. IF you wish to send a note of support to these young women you can do so at my email address. we will be glad to see that they get it.
As with all events of silentlambs it is a grass root effort that comes together because people are moved from their hearts to do something. If there was ever a time for this to happen this is one of them. We ask for your help and support to not let these brave women stand alone. If you can attend or help with this in anyway please contact silentlambs as quickly as possible or call 270-703-2257.
