No one is being unreasonable here. I think if Bro. Bernard had written the letter, it would have sounded a LOT different.
Exactly. Good point, Abigail!

Maybe we need to consider that Bro. Bernard and others might have written a letter also. Each person's letter reflects their personality - you have heard JJ preach, right?

Just saying the letter sounds just like JJ - his personality.

Perhaps we can get a copy of another letter from another official that you guys would be more agreeable with.

I don't have that sort of access.

Which brings to me a question of mine, where do these letters come from? This letter for instance, how did it get on here? If JJ wrote it to WP, then how did it get on here? Did he "leak" it?

Where do all these letters come from? I wonder if perhaps some politically savvy OP leaders use these forums like politicians use the media to shape public opinion for their pet issues by leaking information in the dark of night. Often times when I read these letters I get the icky feeling that somebody is trying to manipulate me by pushing what they perceive to be my emotional buttons.

Perhaps that's a thought for another thread.
