Thanks all for your wonderful and always insighful commentary... Worldly Girl...LOL! I think I might just try that at the mock Thanksgiving dinner we are having on Friday (the day AFTER T-day) since we will all be together giving thanks for the Troof... Do folks still want me to try to post the original letter? I could still try to do it if anyone wants to see the real thing...???

What to do I do first? There is a tiny crack in his armor, and this may be the only way to plant some seeds of doubt.

As a non-JW, I appreciate any and all help to try to reach him while he is willing. I have read through many of the UN threads, but do not know

WHERE to begin. He emphatically stated that it must be "Proof". Feel free to PM me.

Gratefully,

well after two months of silence i got a couple of phone calls from my "best jw friends".

probably motivated by november watchtower instructions, they were nice asking about a family, kids etc, and then came "the" question: when are you going back to the meetings?

i told them again reasons why not ,yet they tried to be sympathetic by warning: as long as you do not go around and bad-mouth the organization we can still be friends.

So happy for you!!!

Fluff thread: swing dancing

by bebu in

i enjoy swing dancing because it's very creative as a social dance.

you can learn a little or a lot, and enjoy it easily.

my parents taught me a little bit about swing dancing when i was young.

marriedtodamob

Oh Oh Oh!!! (Jumping up and down with hands in the air...) I am a dance teacher, (ballet/modern) and so of course I LOVE to dance!!!

Shera...I go to ceilis here in OR, and have done some soft shoe-it is so hard and so fun! Also Seanos (couples-set dance).

I loved swing-and especially the West coast version? Can't remember now, but loved it...

My husband and I go to contra dances and also do some Zydeco dancing...whoohoo-talk about fun music!

Oh man..I gotta get out of the studio and go dancing!!! Thanks for the great thread Bebu!

Anyone here try TANGO? The heels alone are so sexy...

ok...finally here it is. I just decided to go ahead and type the darn thing in since I am so : "attachment challenged"...LOL

Dear....

In your letter of October 28th, 2003, you ask why our publications do not generally provide a list of the references with each article of the names of the individuals who wrote the articles.

We are glad you too the time to write to us about these matters. Unless the article is a first-person account, the names of those who do the research or participate in the actual writing of a particular article are not mentioned as no individulal is solely responsible for an article. What is published represents the viewpoint of our organization as a whole, rather than an individual. Additionally, those who write for our journals are Christian ministers who volunteer their time for this and are not interested in receiving recognition for themselves, but are dedicated to bringing praise the Author of the Bible. Additionally, we do not feel that simply giving the names and scholastic achievements of those who prepare the information is what should make it acceptable to readers. Rather, it is the content of the material and the faithful adherence to the bible that should impress the reader and convince him that the published article is reliable.

You also ask why we do not cite all the references for the source material contained in an article. While in some cases the reference is cited in the paragraph or in the footnote, this is not done in every instance because of limited space. It has been our observation that the average reader of our journals does not require such citations. For that reason, we do not clutter the magazines or our other publications with intensive footnotes of bibliographies. Of course, if individuals wish to have more information regarding a source that is quoted in our literature, they can write to us and we will be more than happy to forward not only the specifics of the source but, in most cases even a photo copy of the item.

We trust the above information will be of help to you, and we send our best wishes,

Sincerely,

Christian Congregation of

Jehovah's Witnesses

I never sent a letter...only talked about it with JW family members...!

Dear Euph-yes I scanned the letter, and tried to save into a Jpg file, and then also put into a Word document. I could not copy and paste onto the JW website or anything...I am definitely "attachment challenged"!!! LOL...Ideas???
