Is this your way of saying that since you don't know who wrote it, the content is meaningless? Surely not.

Which 1997 letter? There probably were many. Which part of the world letter are you referring to?

I just emailed the author to see if he/she wants to publicly acknowledge the letter as theirs.

Don't get yoru knickers in a twist Ilylo! 'tis a fair question to ask. Yes, I should have answered the questions as they were asked. I'll accept responsibility for jumping to conclusions with regard to the OP. I'll defer to Cherie's response regarding the author. As administrator of the VOT Archive, I do know who the author is. However Cherie has already contacted him/her.

stargazer, you and I are both guilty of jumping to conclusions. I would submit to you that it was not "overlooked" in omitting the author's name.

Again, the "jumping to conclusions" error comes out. You interpreted my comment to mean that the author's name is on the document. What I meant is that the author's name was not accidentally left off the page.

I have no agenda in discussing this with you. I'm merely telling you that it was probably not an accident that the author's name was not on there, (ie, edited out of the web page).
Yes, the author's name is known. That was stated several posts ago.
And to clarify, I come from the same asteroid as you: Earth.

.............sheesh. What is with you? Are you from some Asteroid? I think any reasonable person would know the general dialogue here is to simply find out if the author's name is known or available, not some other hidden agenda. I simply found it interesting, since VOT is one of the more thorough threads, that the name was omitted. If it is omitted because, like yourself and me here, the author prefers to remain anonymous, so be it. My personal opinion is that, for increased credibility of the piece, the author would want to be identified. O.K. I'm asking who is the author?

As I look back over the Summer of '97 letter, I see that Jean's name has been on it all this time. I should have reviewed it myself before posting any replies to this thread.

I have in mind that a similar letter came out of Iowa in 1996 or 1997. Supposedly that letter was written by some elders and some other of the workers' friends in that area. I can not recall any other specifics.

Her edress is: jdudley@richmond.edu I am a bit puzzled --- If it was written from Virginia why was the Western US/Canada 2x2 letterhead enclosed (as is indicated along with the publication of the letter) and the documentation of the Alberta Assembly of Christians that Willis incorporated (and later disolved!)

If you read towards the bottom of page 3 of the letter, you'll note the author's address at the time of writing. It's not Virginia.

The author has lived in VA for as long as I've known her--at least 10-12 years. The name/address I see immediately below her name and edress on page 3 is Threshing Floor Ministries--which is NOT her ministry. They are not connected.

Was the 1997 letter mailed to U.S & Canada and elsewhere?
