DETAILS:
This
is the first public event ever for child rape victims of Jehovah’s
Witnesses. According to William
H. Bowen founder of silentlambs, “Elders have threatened abuse survivors
across the country for speaking out about abuse.
Several supporters have been threatened with expulsion if they
attend. While leadership of Jehovah’s Witnesses tries to silence victims
with disfellowshipping, we are going to give
awards to those who speak out for children on their front steps.”
Silentlambs is formerly requesting the church to establish a tribunal to
prosecute the Governing Body for their crimes against children.
