Nice letter SNG: One possible reason the Elders had this meeting part was they may not have known how many copies you sent out. When I sent my Baptism Nullification letter out, I made hundreds of copies and sent them to everyone I knew except the local Elders and CO. I knew they would have to get copies from some of the friends before they could comment on them. I sent them out on a Friday morning using three different post offices, different types of envelopes and stamps, some with Elders or other brothers return addresses on them, and some addressed to the wives of the brothers. There were some very pissed off brothers that weekend. Yet I have NEVER been shunned. I have the JW's wave at me and say Hi! to me all the time. They shun my daughter and threaden this sister who has been seen with me but to this day I have not been shunned. Of course...I would most likely make a real scene if they did! Maverick
