couple to protest jehovah's witnesses

Excellent!!!
It's great that the article mentioned "A spokesman for the New York-based Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, the umbrella organization that is headquarters for Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide, said they were aware of the planned march later this month.
''But we won't issue a statement until that day,'' said a man who answered the phone in the press office at Watchtower headquarters."

from this gem of a site:.
just checking in to share the details of our local press conference!!
it turned out to be a handfull of us there, including: barbara and joe anderson, tatoomom, and myself.
all in all it went very well.... we didn't even have any dubs show up..... i guess they were on their mcdonald's break at the time!!
we had a total of 5 people show up, including myself, bruce baker presented the lamb, and left a press packet on the door, with copys of the new york times articles.
i got some pictures and video, and we had a reporter for the seattle times, and komo tv 4 show up, they both talked with us for almost an hour.
it was great to have a couple of people share they're personal experiences about being molested with the reporters.
well, after being frustrated since last saturday trying to get the local newspaper to do an article about silentlambs and the up coming march, hubby got a hold of the local tv station and they have just left after interviewing him and i about our involvement with the silentlambs and speaking up for that issue.
they didnt want to film us in front of the kingdom hall so we had them come to our house and do the filming.
(they filmed us in our office looking at the silentlambs website and then holding the latest wt 10/15/02, with the front cover saying who is behind all evil?
