  Enigma One

  Ah, the sweet, sweet sounds of a lawyer shilling for business.
  
  I was all set to file my Mesothelioma claim with the ambulance chaser lawyer on TV too.
  
  
  LOL

  I don't understand the lawyer schilling comment.

  Bill Bowen is an ex-JW elder who is one of the people behind the www.silentlambs.org website.

  The non-JW lawyers that work with the JW and ex-JW victims/survivors of abuse are not making money on these cases (probably losing money).

  Kimberlee Norris and her husband Greg do a great deal.

  Kimberlee posts on JWD as stillconcerned.

  I thank her, her husband, Bill Bowen, and all the other JWs, ex-JWs, and non-JWs that have worked so hard over the last few years publicizing and educating people about abuse in the WTS.

  Since Bill Bowen is not an abuse survivor/victim himself, he is asking for those who are, especially in the California area to come forward to be interviewed by the media and let people know that this not just one or 2 people are affected by this. There are current cases in the California area.

  Enigma One

  Blondie, no offense was meant, hence the "LOL".
  
  Making light out of a terrible need that he fills. Child abuse. It's gross. My post was meant to lighten the gravity of the subject and in no way meant to demean Mr. Bowen personally. No child abuse isn't funny. But the searching for victims reminded me of daytime lawyers shilling for business.
  
  From Websters:
  1 : to act as a shill
  2 : to act as a spokesperson or promoter What's the old proverb, if you can't laugh at it, it will make you cry, or something along those lines.

  They aren't looking for "customers" to make money. They are looking for other people hurt by abuse in this region that can come forward with specific testimony to this case or testimony to the abuse policies of the WTS.

  I can guess neither you nor someone you love deeply was ever abused. The seriousness of child abuse shouldn't be lightened. Put murder and rape into that category too.

  The non-JW lawyers that work with the JW and ex-JW victims/survivors of abuse are not making money on these cases (probably losing money).

  Indeed, most lawyers I know work for purely benevolent reasons and have no expectation of profitting from their efforts

  As for Silent Lambs, last I looked at this issue, they don't disclose their financial statements to the public. So we'll just have to take their word for it that they aren't making anything out of their efforts.

  While we're at it, lets also rely on the statements of the Watchtower that no one is profitting from the Watchtower's activities as well.

  Wow.

  Well if you think Bill is making MONEY with Silent Lambs...

  Kinda speechless here.

  Do you know what he has LOST?

  I think what Silentlambs has accomplished, the group's actions, speaks louder than words. Comparing them to the WTS on this matter is surprising to me.
