WFWTR,
Thank you for sharing your letters to the GB of JW`s , I don`t think anybody here ever expects you will get answers to your thought provoking letters from the GB.
However they do perform a service to us here on this board , oldies and newbies , who might just glean something we hadn`t thought of before , that you brought up.
And gave us something to think about , and ponder on
Keep up the good work , and if you ever do get a reply from the GB , that will be a bonus for us all

And somebody will be assigned to read them. I doubt it is a GB member or GB helper of course but more like a Service Dept lackey who simply has to scan read and sort into one of three piles.
Pile 1 "To be forwarded up the food chain"
This pile is for the correspondence that the lackey feels needs to be read by someone with more authority. This pile is small.
Pile 2 "Recycle"
This pile is for letters that are obviously apostate or questioning. This pile is growing and binned. This is where your letter is headed.
Pile 3 "Accounts"
This is for fawning/gushing letters with cheques attached. This pile is too big sadly.
So your first 3 letters have produced groveling personal apologies from each GB member, then? As well as promises to do much better in the future?
About 30 years ago I was given a tour of the (letter)writing department where they answer letters about things of concern the rank and file send them it was overseen by a brother but sisters were used to write the letters under his male supervision, I was told everything was confidential and that I could not tell anyone what any these letters contained(the one I saw was about the blood issue).
Thanks everyone for your replies. Very much appreciated
wifibandit - Thanks for updating me regarding address. I will start sending my letters to Walkhill.
Sir82 - Primarily, writing letters to the Governing Body is therapy for me, as I can express my frustration to them. I have to bottle up my feelings and this is a good way of letting off steam. Also stories like the one in the link below motivate me to do so.
That is a great letter and well written. I appreciate what you're doing!
