    Hi Jeannie,

    Your information about not being able to get a listing for the phone number of the WTBTS does not surprise me.

    Although we haven't gotten much direct news coverage, they are running for cover. They are withdrawing into their caccoon.

    Maybe the head honchos have all packed their bags and caught a plane to the islands to retire in the only semblance of a Paradise they might ever see.

    I guess the WT is afraid of giving out their number now, for fear of getting harrassing calls from people in general and from the media. Its called paranoia. They are I believe really scared of the apostates. And I bet they feel the persecution against them has started full scale. I guess since 9-11 they fear terrorist activity from an unknown source. I mean stop and think about if they are being bombarded full scale now for there lies and coverups. They must be freaking out especially when they know its true.

    The last time I called them it was at: 1-718-625-3600. I guess it might just be unlisted now from what I've read here. But, then again, maybe it's disconnected. Who knows?

    Hi again Jeannie!!! That really is VERY interesting. It actually costs $$ to have a phone number UNlisted with Information, so they must have decided it was worth paying for. It does seem a little odd, however, unless they all packed up over the weekend and moved to Patterson!

    I was going to suggest that Undisfellowshipped could help us with this, and I even posted a note to him on one of his other threads about providing these phone numbers (I couldn't find them), but I see he has already made his appearance here! THANKS UNDF'd! And from your thread of "Secret BOE" letters I got these numbers as well, FYI: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=37162&site=3

    USA PHONE (718) 625-3600 - earlier '90's letter - (most all letters had this #)
    PHONE (718) 560-5000 - From a SAMPLE FORM LETTER from 2000 that the Watchtower Society sends out to Elders when someone is found guilty of molesting a child.

    There were also addresses/phones for Canadian & UK branches if ever needed!

    Jeannie, that's a shame the elders decide to pay a visit to the sister who was at the March, and spoil the good feelings she must be having because of having participated in the March. I hope she is okay, and please keep us informed.

    Yes, talk about pooped! You really GOTTA be pooped.
    I wish we could do it again and again! It was so much fun and so awe-inspiring to be at the March!

    Love ya/GRITS

    How did the elders know the sister was in the Silentlambs March??

    Hi Prisca: The March was on the news that evening. It was on CNN (we missed that, but others saw it). We saw it on the 10 pm news on local NY WB Channel #11; and then we saw it again at 11 pm on UNI (the Spanish channel, I forget the channel #). Erika and her Mom, Alejandra (sp?) translated that newscast for us. Both the newscasts we saw had GREAT film and clips of what the lambs were saying, etc. We were hoping someone in NY would have videotaped those newscasts on their VCRs. Anyone???

    Grits
    PS: I do not know if that is how the elders knew (by seeing her on TV). I am just guessing that MAY BE one way they knew... (?)

    Undisfellowshipped,

    I tried to call the 215 number with no success. My phone number is blocked from caller ID and they would not take the call unless I unblocked it, which I didn't do.

    Just a word of caution that they have Caller ID and can identify the caller.

    Devon
