IF you want to get mail to the GB directly, send it to 124 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, NY 11201 in the personl name of the GB member you wish to write to. If you really want to get him to open it, put a return address with a personal name so they will think it is fan mail. Also you might put a dollar inside, that way they will be sure and open it.

Hey SilentLambs - thanks for the address AND the funny oh-so-true tip about enclosing a dollar!
I saw this below link in another post at this forum. This website says it was updated 5-11-02, created in 2000. Therefore, this should give everyone a good start for GB names. According to this list, there would be ELEVEN GB members at present. If anyone knows of any corrections to this info, please advise. Also, I merely included below the pertinent info, but if you want to see Pictures of These Guys and/or More of their Bios, please visit the link directly. And by all means, let's get this post BACK TO THE TOP!!! /GRITS

Send phony monopoly type money- don't waste your hard earned money on "preachers" like this.I once sent Bob Tilton a million play dollars and included a note that said " here's a big donation of phony money for a big phony preacher." He made me so mad- preying on sick,weak people. A lot like the GB.

I have a few ideas.
The Judicial Desk is the dept that would handle any complaints regarding a Judicial Decision anywhere within the Church. Also, what about sending letters to Depts that the rank and file handle? Shipping/Receiving, etc. We might find some listening ears, even at the Farm in Wallkill. They have a pretty good way of distributing this information, like Franz and all them guys. See how that stuff got passed around? Maybe this will too, and we can cause some disruption within their own walls. Our letters will be thrown away from the top, but who knows what'll happen towards the bottom when someone who already has questions in their mind gets an ear full. It's not the Governing Body whom we have to change the minds of, that's an impossible task.......it's the innocent, delirious and mislead sheep. The GB will only listen (if they can still hear) when they are forced to by their own people. Will this ever happen? Of course not, they'll never fall. We're not in this to take them down, that's just a dream. We're in this because if it takes our entire lifetime, and we save one child, or one family from the hurt and pain (and in some cases death), then we've done a good thing and it's all worth it. We all have to remember that we can't save them all, but we can and should die trying. I'm not one for being a follower (anymore), and I generally would not and do not actively participate in this sort of thing. But Bill is on an honorable path, and regardless of his motives (as they've been questioned as of late), I personally feel the need to do what I can. I believe this is the most organized effort ever in the history of this movement, and I personally vow to do my part in keeping it that way. I will be in Brooklyn next month, I will write letters to God and everyone, and I will do the absolute best I can possibly do. I do think, however, as organized as this seems to be we're going to lose it unless it becomes more organized. This movement is growing fast, and we have to all keep our eyes on the prize (where have I heard that before?) and work hard on not losing the momentum, and doing whatever we can to keep it together. I know this is been said a million times, but everyone should do what they can to be in Brooklyn next month. Try and get that zeal we had as Witlesses and know that God wants us there, and if you don't believe in God, then know that the Lambs need us there! Will it make a huge impact? Not alone, no, they all have curtains and shades and back doors, but with the media attention and added in with all our other efforts we can make a difference. Saving one child from pain is worth every one of us making a sacrifice. I live rather close to Bethel, and I will do what I can to help anyone get there. if anyone needs a ride, or needs to send a Lamb, or needs anything at all, please let me know and I will do what I can to help.
