this is my first post and i must say that i have been lurking here from time to time and have been impressed with the content.
back in college i visited the old h2o site many times and this is definitely superior.
thanks to all for the rich content i've been enjoying.. my great mother was a witness making me a fourth generation.
Thank you Perry.

after following jalward's and other's posts over the past week or so regarding how the borganization views the wts's previous un affiliation, i thought it would meaningful to consider how joe average elder in mayberry, usa perceives the congregation's responsibility to not only to keep entirely free of governmental connections, but even how far a local boe would go to avoid even an appearance of such.. thus, i pose the following hypothetical, and invite readers to give their opinion as to how they think mayberry's boe would react to receiving this letter from their local mayor:.
december 1, 2001 .
kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses 7524 e. garthy road .
This example really says way more than the numerous well thought out replies on this subject (on other threads).
Hypocrisy? Oh yes.
Simply profound.
Profoundly simple.

jehovah's witnesses and their strange bedfellows.
by lorri macgregor.
the watchtower organization of jehovah's witnesses has done some strange "bedfellow" partnering in the past.
Right on, Ballistic!
I did such a good job of teaching my own two sons the "truth", they think I have gone crazy now that I know the real truth.
I drilled it into them from infancy.
When they finally know the real truth, and they will, I will "get a life".

it is tracy (think41self) and my anniversary today.
we've been married 2 years.
i got to tell you that it has been the 2 happiest years of my life.
I know who is going to get a spanking!
Happy anniversary, you two.

did anyone else notice this quote, it appears in this week's edition of newsweek?.
kofi annan, the un secretary general has been awarded the 2001 nobel .
peace prize.
tell all, I dont think we have anything to discuss.
But you did rise to my bait like a hungry large-mouth bass.

well folks, this is big news!.
since this un/wt scandal blew, there have been those who strongly suspected that this association was not the whole picture.. the un's reach is worldwide in scope, it goes without saying.
and in order for the wt to use the un for that worldwide clout, an alliance had to be formed that goes way beyond the use of the un library, it now appears.
Hi Name Withheld.
Im not sure there are any JWs in the picture.
That is just one on the website.

Thanks UR.
Yes I fully intend to follow through on this. Those were Steve Friedlander's words-not mine.
I learned something today, Im not an investigative reporter!

Hi MA.
I thought I would wait a few days after talking with him.
I am going to request that from the president of the center.
Here's hopin'!
Also, hopefully I will get some help from the database mgr.
Feel free to contact them as well.

FLAG!!!
Well it is official.
I talked with a very personable man at the Interfaith Center.
His name is Steven Friedlander and he is the vice-president of the Center. His email addy is < [email protected]
He said that they would never link to an official website of any religion without an express, written request on their letterhead.
Im sorry for not confirming that beforehand.
Hopefully I dodged a bullet this time.
But there were other faiths not listed on there.

Six you are SO bad-Thats why I love ya
I have e-mailed two people at the IF center, the president and the database manager. One email directly asked if the JWs had explicitly requested to be included on their website. Another asked if they automatically included all faiths in the New York area.
My apologies again.
Thank you skally for scanning that photo.
Hawk, thanks as always.
