Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York.
The dead give-away. They currently sign letters to congregations as The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Excellent spoof though!

I thought it was interesting that the early Protestant Puritans, the Quakers and 19th century Seventh Day Adventists reject the wedding ring as pagan. The JW's arbitrariness continues to amaze me.

In 1936 it was pointed out that the evidence indicates that Christ died on a stake, not a two-beamed cross.
How can they stand and say this when there is evidence that a cross was indeed used ?

Ok, for clarity, this letter is a SPOOF. It is not REAL. It is written as if it WERE real, which is funny.

I remember a JW explaining to me why JW's don't celebrate birthdays- "and- John the Baptist had his head cut off at a birthday party- so we don't celebrate birthdays.
I told him, " so , if it had been a wedding party instead of a birthday party, you wouldn't be doing weddings either?"
He was left totally speechless. His WT logic had failed him at that point.

If someone with only two years secondary education and a mental illness can write a spoof like this, imagine the qualifications the writing staff at HQ must have!
Funnily, I had to 'dumb down' some of the terms I found during research and put them into 'Witness-speak'. This letter could just as easily been posted under Bible Research and Study Articles but Humour is OK!
