  Putting the WTS's UN Affiliation In Perspective!!!

  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:.

  make a research in the text with your web browser with the word "watchtower" and you'll find it: .

  rand energy group inc. is owned 51% by reg technologies inc. and 49% by.

  Watchtower Manufacturing Smart Bombs is nothing.

  They are also part of the International Drug Cartel. How do I know?

  It is only logical. Everyone knows that drugs are often smuggle into the US in semi-trucks, and I heard a rumor once that the WTS owns semi-trucks!

  Absolute Proof the WTS are drug dealers!

  Gee whiz, Sapo, try to play along with the hypo, instead of performing surgery on my verbiage. I obviously wrote this with the intention that the "Beautification Committee" is some department/agency of the city government.

  Anyway, thanks for being the only person to bother to respond thus far.

  Stratton: why different from other cases?

  by expatbrit in

  the stratton township case appears to have a very good chance of success despite the appeals to the supreme court.

  but this is obviously not the first time villages and towns have attempted to stop continual disturbance by the jw's.

  the quebec court cases that the wt won are examples.. so what makes this particular case different?

  First, let me hedge by stating that I have yet to take/find the time to look at this case closely. As a matter of fact, I haven't read the appealed Case since the Do_Not_Call posts.

  With that said, it is my understanding that the 9-5 restriction has already been ruled unconstitutional, and Stratton accordingly amended the ordinance to something reasonable, like "during daylight hours" or possibly "dawn to 9/10:00PM". (I can't recall.)

  The issue the USSC is looking at is whether Stratton can require registration which forces solicitors to provide extensive personal info (supposedly so the city can either run background criminal checks up front, or have the ability to easily locate after the fact a solicitor who commits a crime), and which also requires solicitors to wear id badges, thus taking away someone's ability to anonymously disseminate their religious views door-to-door.

  As for publicity, you don't have to worry. Local governments belong to state and national associations which keep them abreast of all laws pertaining to their circumstances. Besides, this ruling (no matter which way it goes) will get extensive news coverage.

  As for ordinances in other cities, if you do a search, you will find most already have solicitation ordinances in force, but such simply are not enforced against JWs. If the USSC upholds Stratton, many cities will likely amend their present ordinances to match up with whatever the USSC says is const.

  in another thread the point was made that the wts is ending subscriptions to the watchtower and awake!

  isp rightly commented the following, "the wts gets double payment for the mags from the r+f......so subscribers are not cost effective!".

  I'm not upset with the question, just surprised you would think that I would throw down the gantlet without being prepared to defend my position.

  Ozzie:

  For someone who has been around for as long as you have, your comments in the post above demonstrate you have little or no understanding of what occurred after CTR's death.

  The WTS version of events is far more accurate than yours.
