Incidentally my local newspaper employs a Witness in a fairly senior position, so I have always wondered whether that would inhibit them printing anything embarrassing about the Witnesses.

Yeee ha! It was published today.
It was edited a bit, the sentence about child protection and the following paragraph on blood was cut. I don't think it was cut for length, there is a local character to rambles on endlessly about all sorts of things, but our local paper does tend to avoid controversy.
Another brief and badly written letter supporting the JWs was also published. I think it came from a bible study. Basically it tried to play the victim card but it was a bit pathetic.
A small body blow to the borg - feels good.
Thanks to everybody for their help with the letter.
