was kind and generous
beyond measure. Although
she was small in ^tature, her
character displayed an infi
nite strength. Her spirited
ness was always entertaining
and her wisdom and vigor
were a blessing to many. She
was adored by all who knew
her.
Mrs. Thompson is survived

Charlotte; Tomeka Quarter-
man (Radcliff) of Atlanta, Ga;
and \hison S. Thompson, Jr.,

as well as several in-laws,
nieces, nephews, friends, and
acquaintances. She was pre
ceded in death by her broth

her sister, Thomasina John
son.

against the organization.
Brown disputed the silentiambs’ contention that Witnesses
are discouraged from taking abuse complaints to secular
police. Official policy says elders should report abuse allega
tions to police if state laws require this, as is now the case in
many states.
Silentiambs, founded in 2001, has formed a loose interfaith
alliance with two older groups that emerged from the Roman
Catholic abuse scandals: The Linkup, based in Louisville, Ken
tucky, and Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or
SNAP, with offices in Chicago and St. Louis.
Linkup leader Susan Archibald is joining the silentiambs
board and Bowen is joining Linkup’s board..
The issue has international ramifications for the Witnesses,
who report about 1 million U.S. followers and 6 million world
wide.
One silentiambs speaker was Anders Kristensson, visiting
fixDm Sweden. He said when he told his local elders about his
abuse they simply gave him copies of the religion’s Watchtower
and Awake magazines, said '"trust in Jehovah, everything wiU
be O.K, and that’s it.”
Roger Carlson, a former Witnesses elder in Sweden, said
that since a national television report last year about abuse
among Witnesses, 60 new victims have come forward.
“It’s the same in every country,” he said.
