  Our Lives Are Worthless

  i've been in a strange mood lately.

  i keep thinking what difference does anything matter.

  in a few years we will all be dead anyway and anything we did won't amount to anything.

  Undecided- with all the losses I have had in recent years I have often felt the same way. I keep myself going, however, by remembering that life is a precious gift. We must enjoy this moment and remember that we all have a great impact on the lives and futures of others. Look at the stars, get out and enjoy nature. Enjoy a pet. Take a walk. Be nice to someone- Hold the door open for someone- tell a stranger to have a good day or tell them they look good today- thier reaction will renew your lease on life!

  Its about the abuse victims stupid...

  simply stated mr bowen should leave some of his judgements and thoughts to be shared with only his wife and very close friends.

  given the spotlight that he has put himself in he is doing a lot of damage to his reputation and credibility.

  my heart goes out, not to mr bowen- he took this road by choice- but to the abuse victims that he claims to offer aid and support to.

  "I want to put the board on notice that this "kelsey007" person is a JW in good standing (possibly even several JWs posting under the same handle) and is on this board only to stir up trouble. Take a close look at his posts. Every one manages to stir the pot in some way -- damning with faint praise, causing trouble for the silentlambs movement or Bill Bowen personally, or worst, downplaying the plight of victims of abuse."

  False statements are wrong. Period. Not only have I not been in a KH in over a decade- I have also been df'd for the same amount of time- in great part for disagreeing with WT policy. Many here may remember that my picture and story was posted on the front page of the Tennessean newspaper earlier this year in repsonse to the watchtower policy of shunning.

  This is a prime example of why many criticisms are running through threads here against Bill Bowen actions. A lie is a lie- whether told by AlanF or anyone else....

  "i know ray franz and you are nothing like him.

  " in integrity you are much smaller, in writing ability compared to him you fail miserably, in love for truth you do not compare.. bill bowen, you will never be as great a man as ray franz!

  because you act before you think!

  Alan- I presume that you THINK that you know me. Some here do know me. Some aer also aware that my ungly mug was pasted on the front page of the Tennessean Newspaper earlier this year as a df'd jw. I have not stepped foot in a KH in over a decade. I strongly do not agree with WT policies.

  My question to you then Alan- on what factual basis do you make your claim? This kind of "lie" is unsettling in the face of what statements and accusations have been attributed to Mr Bowen. Care to explain yourself on this one?

  Lilacs I will not attempt to write about all the abuse my family suffered at the hands of the WT. I will share that my kissing cousin was abused by her ms jw dad, my uncle. He was slapped on the hand. The issue was not reported. My cousin was labeled a "loose" woman and the trauma lead to her untimely death at age 32. Her and I were both born on the same month of the same year- But I cannot support the "attutude" of Mr Bowen in respect for her memory. As I have stated before- The respect for Mt Franz that I have is not so much due to where he stands on any particular issue- it is because he has carried himself with dignity and as a genttleman thoughout.....

  Lilacs- maybe you do not understand the word "attributed". I hae no way of knowing what Mr Franz said. In each of my post in regards to this issue I have made that point.

  Though I can personally say that Mr Bowen has and does bash others who do not agree with him, I also know that silent lamb supporters seemingly cannot stand criticism of their leader. That is why I do my utmost to NOW word my post very tactfully and still provide a bit of my thought in them.

  As to Mr Bowens apology- that does not interest me. Certain things that he stated to me in conversations were not statements from a "kind" "caring" "sympathetic" person. But rather than having an apology I would have that silent lambs gets about its business of ading abuse victims and reserve their personl opinions of some who are not on Bill's bandwagon to bed room talk. Mr Bowen has brought all this criticism into the public arena through his own conduct. He has put himself in the spotlight- brought serious accusations toward others and spoken harsh words to many here. Due to the postition HE has put HIMSELF in HE must out of position as an aid to abuse victims bridle his tounge or be forced to loose his credibilty. Better to have these criticisms brought from fellow ex-jw's who support the silent lambs cause than to be brought by the WT- who we should be certain is taking careful note of all the actions of Mr Bowen.
