    Nicolau,

    Great work! Would it make you go over a single page if you added a reference to The Guardian Weekly story (or, better, actually attached a copy). That provides a much better overview, I think, of the story as it evolved.

    Also, these people might be interested in what you are doing: http://can-online.org.uk

    Hi hsmew,

    Thanks hsmew

    I'm not familiar with the Guardian Weekly story, only the two newspaper articles (08/10 and 15/10).

    Could you or anyone else please email or post this other article?

    Cheers

    Nicolau,

    There's a copy here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=13530&page=11&site=3

    Unfortunately the Gdn weekly is not fully available online. You should be able to pick a copy up easily enough in the UK. Last week's Gdn Weekly. Try WH Smith's. I subscribe but haven't received this one yet, except electronically.

    Kent has posted scans of the article at his site too.

    Also, check out the Issues board here: http://talk.guardian.co.uk/

    There is a thread on JWs and the UN.

    I;m sure another thread about how to stop JWs calling would not go amiss!

    another thread about how to stop JWs calling would not go amiss!

    Nic,

    Thanks, but I meant why not start a thread on The Guardian talkboard. It has the nice feature that anyone going into the Issues subarea will have a good chance of seeing it.

    In act, your outfit has already been mentioned in the JW/Un thread.

    Best,

    Excellent letter Nicolaou !

    Was there another article in the Guardian Weekly? I must admit I've never seen this magazine (although I just tend to make a bee-line for the computer mags pausing only to glance at FHM & Maxim )

    Simon,

    Yes. The best of the three in that it summarizes everything. See my post a bit higher up for links.

    Also, see the Guardian talkboard under issues.

    Sorry for the length to answer a simple question--painful memories surfaced and demanded voice...

    Brilliant post Bridgett. However, it’s beyond me why individuals such as your self feel the need to apologize for expressing oneself.

    I've thought for a long time that the WTB&TS should have its tax exemption in the US lifted. The fact that it bastardizes the intent of the first amendment to the US Constitution galls me no end. I can't see any difference between them and organizations like that run by Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker - charlatans selling the moral equivalent of snake oil and hiding behind the first amendment while they do it.

    That's a great letter btw. Please keep us posted.

    Francois
