This whole situation is very sad.
I was shocked when I first heard about it.
I refused to believe it was Mad Apostate who had a personal vendetta against Silent Lambs and had allowed those negative emotions to be taken out on an innocent victim of abuse because I have seen so many good things from him in the past especially with the UN situation.
I was very disappointed when I returned to the board to find that it was MA.
This is the very reason why victims don’t come forward.
They are afraid their story won’t be believed. It takes great courage to come forward and to have this happen is terrible.
I will never come forward on a public board with my story after seeing what happened to this victim. I wonder how many other victims feel the same way as I do now?
Many of these victims are still suffering mentally, emotionally and as we all know because of being JWs have very limited education.
It is heartless to interrogate a person who has had to overcome so much to come forward.
We must think of how fragile these people are.
For example if this victim had of attempted suicide after sharing her story and being treated that way, those who participated in tearing her story down would bear some responsibility for what happened.
MA ,
You don’t have to apologize to Silent Lambs this was never about him.
This is about the victim and I do think an apology would be nice for her to hear from you.
I also wish you would call or email Bill because you could accomplish so much more together instead of what we see happening here.
Also I believe you will find you are very wrong about the motives you impute to him.
Please think about this.
