immediately after the panorama episode which dealt with the jehovahs witness problem with paedophiles i contacted my local mp, patricia hewitt, to voice my concerns.
it appears that she forwarded my concerns to the parliamentary under secretary of state, hilary ben mp.
this is a copy of the letter she received back, which came in the post this morning.

i'm sure everyone else is excited about the silentlambs march and hope that all those taking part have a trouble free journey, some good weather for it (that's the 'brit' in me talking) and most of all enjoy meeting up and doing something so positive.
we would love to have been there but unfortunately things didn't work out but we will be there in spirit like a great many others.
the march will really mark a turning point in jw history as for the first time the victims are not just lone voices fighting on their own but thanks largely to bill they now have some fantastic support, are much more organised and effective and have accomplished things and continue to deliver a clear message to the media which is being heard around the world.
Could'nt agree more Simon.
i haven't been around much since school started, but i am trying to have some fun in the midst of it all.
here's the dallas bob marley festival...it was quite fun, lots of red stripe and smokin going on maaan.... .
sincerely,.
Cool stuff Valis,I have always liked reggae.
Rock and roll.

last week, i was gurgling merrily at an episode of the simpsons.
it was the one that is a parody of the "thelma and louise" film where marge and her chum are being pursued by homer and chief wiggum.. marge's chum is trying to impress her with her cool music, but when she turns on the car radio, it begins to play one of her less cool tunes, something that i have never heard before called "sunshine and lollipops".
this repeated itself several times in different vehicles, whenever anyone turned on the radio, sunshine and lollipops came blaring out.
How about,'I'm sticking to you', that song I find so irritating I want to start world war 3 everytime I hear it,aaaarrrggghhh.
i'm not sure how to put this news gently to the community here, but regarding my post yesterday regarding chantelle.. thankyou for all of your kind messages and warmth displayed on your parts.. chantelle was only 16 when disfellowshipped.
only 18 years old with her whole life in front of her.
she took her own life this morning at 0400hrs.. i am so sorry not to have been in a better position to get your letters to her in time.. take care all of you & kindest regards.
Mark,me old mate,I'm really sorry to hear this,in fact I'm spitting blood with anger,so to speak.
You did your best mate,you could do no more,
Take care,
Rich.
now you all may laugh at me, but last night about 1am, i wake up to find my bed shaking!!
when i looked around the room the walls were shaking, what was going on???.
now you all may have this happen, but in the uk it is very very rare, we were experiencing our first earthquake in 15 years, well my jw head clicked in, is this armageddon??.
Hi Tish.
Yes I felt it too,in sunny Weston-Super-mare,there was a thump and a shake and it was over,I thought it was the beer,but obviously not.
Cheers,
Rich.
uk witnesses thought that armageddon had come last night, as much of the country was rocked by an earthquake - and we don't get earthquakes in england!
the british geological survey says the epicentre of the earthquake was "right under the city of birmingham" - the land of farkel's ancestors.
but people as far apart as south and west wales, northamptonshire, south yorkshire and oxfordshire felt the tremors which shook homes, broke windows and set off alarms at around 12.54am.
I was just going to bed,there was a thump and a shudder,then it was all over,I thought it was the beer,obviously not!.
firstly, i'd like to say..... i got the all clear!!!!!!!
for those of you who didn't know, i have been tested for the spread of my cancer to my glands.
i had a lump underneath my arm which had to be removed.
I'm heaving a sigh of relief,thats great news.
Take care,
Rich.
