"Special Blue Envelopes"

by Oroborus21 in

been reading some boe letters that mention "special blue envelopes" evidently used for judicial correspondence between the society and the congregations.. frankly, i had never even heard of them before.. any former elders out there want to describe them for me?

(yeah i know they are "special" and they are "blue" .

more importantly, are there any former bethelites that can describe the process or treatment of these at hq?.

They are a standard #10 envolope in size with preprinted lables on them, oh! and that saaaaaddddd sky blue.

Abaddon,

It does not address the human rights issue. You might not want those people to have human rights,

I agree human rights are always important and perhaps the "detainies" should be given a trial.

Ah! So you know what you’re talking about and are making an informed comment? Or just reacting with a nationalistic knee jerk without knowing the details?

Yes I have a reaction when someone hates my being because I was born here (US and Happy to be) , I wouldn't call it "knee jerk" I'd call it a self preservation reaction. I doubt you know all the details either as to the actual treatment of any prisoners any where unless you are the jailer.

Yes Ho, but serial killers would kill you, your family, or anyone you knew just because they are serial killers, and serial killers are afforded human rights and Constitutional protections. I find it hard to see what justification the USA’s government has for their actions when they would rain fire on anyone who treated USA nationals in the same fashion.

As to seriel killers if I had an idea who it was before a strike I'd prevent it if possible, wouldn't you? I take the same view as to "illegal combatants" many were caught with: weapons,bombs,money,or plans to kill Americans. I must state I'm happy they are being held and I don't want them here or anywhere they can do any harm. As to the rain of US fire onto opposers if I disagree with my governments policy I'll vote against it in the next free election.

most of early friday morning was standard watchtower fare...you know, "wear your lapel badge to restaurants and preach to waiters" etc.

but there was some good meat later in the morning during the talk "glorious prophetic visions spur us on".

one point i found interesting was that only the annointed saw christs acsension to heavenly rulership in 1914. no one else.

I was just informed one speaker said this past weekend in Portland, Maine, not to listen to the news media "even if they seem credible" because they are controled by Satan. (this part is true)

CNN -BREAKING NEWS : "Jehovah's Witnesses have been right all along"

Minimus; have you been near the bullshit pipe again?

Abbadon,

Perhaps you would like to stand guard yourself in Guantanomo Bay to make sure they do everything correctly.

I may not know all the details of this camp, however I do believe the most of the Islamic prisoners there would kill me, my family, or anyone I know just to prove their point because I happen to be from the US.

Do you know of any reasonable short term with long term lasting affects solutions to such a delima for me, my family, any one I know, or anyone els from the US? I don't, but would like to here something.
