    hi all

    just found out that our nice arena we just built is being used for jw conventions for the next 4 weeks, so i know there will be a bit in our local paper

    do any have anything here they may have already posted that may help me -in letter style to editor- to refute the LOVLINESS of the jws at their conventions.

    thanks

    Here's a suggestion. Maybe you can use some of the material from our little expedition a couple of weeks ago...

    Here's how we got the press involved with the Halifax convention ....

    Here's a link to the transcript of Kwin's interview.

    Link to the actual interview online if you'd like to view it (it's approx. 1 minute), tks to Jourles.

    http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/8/92897/1.ashx

    Possible intro to press release:

    [ name of news outlet ]

    [ dates ], the [name] arena is hosting a convention of Jehovah's Witnesses. Most people in the community know them only for their door-to-door ministry, and their stance against taking blood transfusions.

    But a recent story reported on by anchor Stacey Jones of Global TV, in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Monday, June __, 2005, suggests the possibility that this Christian sect has a much darker side.

    [ use notes from transcript here ]

    [ concluding paragraph/sentence ]

    it's a thought, and I would be happy to aid in writing.
