    Just spoke with the mayor of our town about a notice in this mornings paper, re the jws are applying to build a hall in our community,,,,,,,,, would anyone care to comment on what they would say at this meeting? I mentioned to him that it is a cult and I do not want it in our town. He admitted he didnt know much about the jws and their beliefs and I told him about the abuse and actions being handled by the elders and not the police and also the non government views. As a best friend of a now ex-jw (who waited patiently for 20+ years for her to leave the group!,) I don't feel I can put together a letter of opposition properly to bring to the town meeting....... any takers ?

    This probably won't get you very far in opposing the project. Just stick to the facts relative to the actual development or action taking place. Especially speaking before a decision-making body (Commission, Council, etc) it will make you look fanatical. There is another thread around here a while back on what steps a citizen could make to help get a KH project stopped where I and others gave a lot of advice and tips... maybe I'll find it.

    The minute you do this, the JWs will cry persecution. He one thing you don't want is a bunch of JWs going from ddoor-to-door claiming they are being persecuted for their religious beliefs.
