Hello everyone,
these few lines are to ...suggest
to those who wrote to the WTBS, and e-mailed me ,
concerning the "United Nations, NGO's and the WTBS ",
to post- if they wish - a copy of their letter - on this thread.
It'll be a nice and interesting mail for all of us!
Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp

Jourles,
Your mum said EXACTLY the same thing as mine. Im sure they've been told this story by elders or whatever...

Also if those people rotting in jail over refusing MANDITORY (not voluntary) MILITARY DUTY change their minds and do the duty what would happen?
You have point there, but my personal experience goes further than actual military service. Even the option of working in a hospital instead was not accepted behavior of JW. The outcome was more than two years hard labour in circumstances that our press described as a concentration camp. And lets bear in mind that we were told not to even enter certain premises and awoid unnecessary lingering in areas with christmas trees etc. Me looking back it is impossible to imagine any justification whatsoever to those NGO/DPI apologies - hypocrisy is the word for me.
Hello everyone,
here is the copy of my letter sent to:
Steve Bates of the "Guardian" , London UK
°°°°
Dear Mr. Bates, please receive a copy
of the letter that I've sent to:
Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York
25 Columbia Heights
Brooklyn, NY 11201-2483 - United States
10/17/2001
Dear Brothers,
I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses , that in union with millions
of others , worldwide, is trying to follow closely Jesus'
footsteps. I would like to related a recent event which, at the
beginning … puzzled me greatly.
As a matter of fact, I did found some information that
now deeply disturb me, as a person but also in a much
deeper spiritual sense.
At the beginning it left me numb…, but after, I took the decision to write you this letter, although I do know that it is not easy at all.
As I 'm writing my hands are trembling , I'm really deeply, deeply
touched , I think that I rarely experienced this emotion, triggered
by these informations.
Here , as short as possible they are:
On the website of The United Nations (www.un.org) the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, was listed as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) affiliated with the Department of Public Information (DPI).
At first glance it seemed, I thought, as though this association of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York with the United Nations , could be reasonable and logical.
However, I did search for some of the criteria, to be met by an organization in order to achieve NGO status, and I did found that some of these are the following:
(°)"… encourage political participation at the community level "
(°)"The Department of Public Information and NGOs cooperate regularly. NGOs associated with DPI disseminate information about the UN to their membership, thereby building knowledge of and support for the Organization at the grassroots level."
Sincerely I must say that these are the statements that are so troubling to me.
Then I called the United Nations to verify that all the informations were correct, including the fact that the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York, was indeed an NGO.
Therefore I would greatly appreciate your clarification on these basic and specific points:
a) What was the purpose of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society's
association with the United Nations as an NGO?
b) Why were , the thousands and thousands of Jehovah’s Witnesses congregations, all over the world, never informed of this relationship or association status with the United Nations?
c) In October 2001, why was that you, as Watchtower Bible & Tract
Society of New York, seek termination of this almost 10 years old relationship with the United Nations?
(as can be seen from a fax dated 10/11/01 from Paul Hoeffel, Chief – NGO/DPI Section, United Nations - New York -)
d) Why did the DPI make a decision, to disassociate the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York as of 9 October 2001?
e) Will the thousands and thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses congregations, all over the world, be informed of the termination or
disassociation of this relationship or association status with the United
Nations?
I thank you in advance for helping me to reconcile this apparent contradiction of beliefs, taught and published by you and generally held by all the Jehovah's Witnesses vs. your relationship or association status - as Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York, with the
United Nations.
After all, it is still clear in my mind, when I personally , to my family and in private , in the congregation and even publicly , I did refer to the "…United Nations as ' a scarlet-colored wild beast ' that is the image of Satan's bloodstained political system…"
I know your answers will be helpful in overturning the recent charges of hypocrisy that have arisen in the press recently over this matter , even
more so, after an article published in the " The Guardian" 10/15/01 -London - UK, and while waiting , please accept my Christian greetings,
Sincerely, your brother and fellow servant in Christ Jesus,
James Charles MacHislopp
P.S. Mr. Bates, thanks for your excellent articles
and for this letter feel free to use it, including
my name and e-mail. My best greetings,

Mac, Hawk, et al;
I would suggest that those who care to, before they write to the WTS, first email DPINGO asking for clarification on The Guardian articles, and then include a copy of DPINGO's response (Which comes within 24 hrs) with their letter to the WTS.
If you guys agree, then maybe you should publicize this idea...Of course not all should try this.
