they might be doing some work on the site over at avoidjw and maybe that is why the links wouldn't work for you.

anyway, you can download them here.. 1971 listening to the great teacher.

1973 Brown Cover: True Peace and Security - From What Source?
Revised 1986 Red Cover: True Peace and Security - How Can You Find It?
The Kingdom Ministry of February 1986 stated that the revised version of "the True Peace book takes note of the declaration by the United Nations that the year 1986 begins special efforts by world leaders toward ‘peace and security.’ Referring to this declaration, the True Peace book says: “This, no doubt, is a step toward the fulfillment of Paul’s... words.... Yet the prophecy shows that the time will come when the nations will declare that they have achieved a measure of ‘peace and security.’”—1 Thess. 5:3.

i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.

we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.

Hey JWdaughter

I really loved working at the newspaper.... If you look at electronic news-even "real" sites like the NY Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian---the spelling and grammar is a disgrace to journalism.

haha hence the Guardian's nickname -The Grauniad
