    Hello everyone,

    I thought the sit eclosed by now...

    I just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I've been very busy in the stream of child abuse. I spoke in Hong Kong, Washington D.C. and Philly this year. January I speak in West Palm Beach, Florida then Atlanta, Georgia in June.

    Many of you probably know my story of abduction at 2 years old by my father who was an elder. I've spoken to 2 book clubs after they have read my book, Have You Seen My Mother, and it so funny to me that they want to talk more about the Witnesses than they do parental abduction/alienation.

    I remember being a Witness (25 years) and thinking that everyone was against us; hated us. I know now that no one knows anything about the Witnesses and really couldn't care less. It's amazing the paranoina created by the Tower and eaten up by the rank and file.

    I've just created a new soon-to-be non-profit, Prevent Parental Kidnap. Even though 350,000 children are abducted annually in the USA, there is no one talking about it. So I'm trying to eductate and help parents and professionals understand that they are hurting the children when they abduct and or try to alienate their children from the other parent.

    As far as the Witnesses... I'm starting to look at them as victims. They do make their own choices, but I feel the Watchtower is the real culprit in the damaging of families.

    Anyway... I hope everyone is well, having a great holiday and enjoying family and friends next to the glowing fire!

    My Best,

    Wow... I didn't know about your book (nor your experience, Bryan.) All the best!

    Simon has worked to create a new site which will continue on and have all of the accounts and threads archived there. Hope to see you around.

    Love,
    Baba.

    Atkins? Ah, yes... I lost 50 lbs in the last year! I have gained 10 this holiday, but I'll burn it off soon enough. It feels so nice to be able to run again!!!!!
