Well, as to be expected...The "paper"printed the same lame ass article about this years DC. I sent this reply and will just keep trying. Can't hurt and it's a fun way to waste 20 min, ;-)

Hello,
I'm a little disappointed with the article about the Watchtower convention...It's been the same cut and paste article for years. I realize you are doing your jobs as expected and probably don't want to stir anything up with a religious corporation that brings in thousands of dollars to the local economy. It's a lot easier to write the article that appears every year. I get that.
I sincerely hope that someday you would print something a little "controversial" that is truth and relevant news about a religious organization that basically says that they alone have THE Truth, and anyone not part of their organization will absolutely be destroyed...including you, your children, and everyone that you love that is not a JW. This is their actual doctrine, that is why they pass out these invitations...in order to get you there, start a bible study with you, baptize you (eventually after a 6 mo-1 year process) and ultimately save YOUR life!!
They water down their public message so much...and you as a news paper pass this on as 'a group of nicely dressed bible students trying to encourage home bible study and living by bible principles'. They do a great job of hiding the "oh yeah, if you're not a baptized member, Jehovah will annihilate you at Armageddon" Please, please do an investigatory article one of these days. I ask this with all due respect, realizing as I mentioned, that their are internal politics involved in the news business that may hinder writing such an article. Thanks again for your time.
