Even though I have been slandered, Abused, lied to and used, I know how much the website created for silentlambs will HELP the lambs, and I don't wish for them to lose out on the valuable information contained within that creative. Many many hours, days and months went into that website, by me AND a few other volunteers. Including G.R.I.T.S., UNDF, Lolipop (from LRD), Dungbeetle, and a few others I can't mention, because I don't know their names (As they were working with GRITS), I wish to thank each end every one of them for their unselfish assistance in the website development.
Rev, thank you so much for your kind words. You and GRITS did so much more work than I did, but I am very happy that I was able to contribute information for the Website.
I too want to thank you, and GRITS, Lolipop, Dungbeetle, JosephMalik, and the others who helped contribute to the silentlambs Website and the LambsRoar Forum.
For all these reasons stated, but mostly for the Lambs, I am STILL not holding that work back from Bill, or silentlambs.org. He/They are more than free to come to me and receive the website that they abandoned, with no questions asked. If there is someone who would like to mediate that transfer, please contact either me or Bill, and negotiate that. I think it wise that Mr. Bowen and I not have too much contact with one another for the time being. I will offer Bill nothing else, but the files for the website. I will sign nothing, I will request nothing, and I will offer nothing else. Anyone who is capable of moving the site may wish to volunteer, or he may use his current webmaster, whatever, and however he chooses. That is my offer of peace, in spite of what has occurred over the past several days. And as I have stated publicly, silentlambs has a FULL Lifetime license to use any creative on that site by me or my company, and that includes coding, layout, graphics and design. That means for LIFE he may use that work royalty free. Whether or not he gives my company credit for that work is on his conscience, and that will be understood. I think this is more than fair considering what I have been through. Realize that this offer is on account of all Abuse Survivors worldwide, so that they may sooner find what they need to be at peace within themselves. This is not a 'favor' to Mr. Bowen, it has nothing to do with him, and everything to do with the Abuse Survivors.
Amen.
I do feel very sorry for you and for what has happened.
I do not believe that you are "working for the Watchtower" or that you are "mentally unstable" (at least not any more "mentally unstable" than me or any other Ex-JW on this Website ).
However, I must also state that I do not have any knowledge of what has gone on privately between you and Bill Bowen.
I do understand how things can very easily be misunderstood, especially over the Internet.
I do not believe that Bill Bowen is a bad or evil person and I do not believe that he would intentionally try to hurt someone, or lie about someone.
I think that Bill must truly have believed what he said about you.
Because, let's think about this for a minute -- If Bill intentionally lied about you, and he knew what he was saying was false, why on Earth would he do it?
Bill had to have known you would post your response on the Internet Forums and that he would end up looking worse.
You see, what I'm saying is, I think the only way that Bill would have risked hurting his reputation more, would be if he truly believed what he was saying.
I don't understand what is going on with all of this mess -- it all seems extremely weird and unreal.
From all of your posts and E-Mails that I have read, you have been a very kind and nice person, Rev, and I truly believe you are.
Merry Christmas, and May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family Rev.
