James Jack: "I'm running for public office next month. Our local newspaper printed my name as a candidate. I got multiple phone calls from other JW's wanting know what is going on in my life. Yesterday, The Elders called me to a committee meeting."
Yep...sounds like a letter of DA would be in order. Good luck to you mate. In this instance, me thinks your DA will leave a black-eyed imprint in your local JW community...nothing wrong with that...in fact a bonus!
BTW...your letter is indeed in good taste...I can see the elders reading it as well...a good witness to them.
