    Dear Mom and Dad,
    Hi,
    Hope you are both doing okay.
    We are all fine except I had to take (our daughter)in to the Dr. yesterday. A stomach virus or something?
    I just want you to know that I love you very much and always will.
    I know that world events are causing you to fear for us and that’s why you say some of the things you do. It’s okay because I know you love us too.
    I just wish you didn’t suffer with so much anxiety.

    I thought you would find this interesting.
    I went to the UN’s official website and found out some information I didn’t know before.
    The UN has governmental members as we are already aware of, but I found out that they also have non-governmental organizations as well. They are called NGOs and are associated with the DPI or (Department of Information) section of the UN.
    In order to become a member an organization has to show proof of their non -profit status, fill out a lengthy application, promise to support the UN and its goals and promote its Charter. They must also promote the UN’s DPI information in their literature.
    I was not surprised as I scanned down through their alphabetical listing of members to see just about every religion and church you could think of listed. Catholics, Jews, Muslims and on and on. I was feeling very smug, thinking about all these religions “prostituting” themselves with the “Scarlet Colored Wild Beast “ That feeling didn’t last because when I got down to the W’s guess who I saw listed right along with the rest of them. Yes, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society!!!!!!
    If you call the UN you will be told that the Society has been members since 1991.
    We all know what happens to a witness who joins any governmental organization. You are automatically disassociated! Their hypocrisy and corruption knows no bounds!
    This info has caused such uproar that the UN and WT society is being swamped with phone calls faxes and emails. Some have already disassociated themselves; some are just in shock not knowing what to do!
    The UN was sent copies of some of the negative things the organization has put in its literature about them. The UN is now having a special meeting to review their membership.
    The Watchtower society has been riding the back of the wild Beast for 10 years now. They never counted on the Internet exposing their affair!
    It all makes sense to me now. Before, I couldn’t figure out why the society had changed their tune even saying nice things about the UN in the magazines over the last few years.
    I know you don’t want to hear this and probably don’t believe me so check it out for yourself. The UN website is at: http:/www.un.org/MoreInfo/ngolink/brochure.htm

    There’s so much more that you don’t know about this organization. I won’t say anymore because I think this is more than enough to digest for now.
    I am not happy about this but I love you and you deserve the truth about the “Truth”.
    Love you both,
    Ranchette

    I had to put this in simple terms for her.
    What do yuu guys think about this?Did I get the Web address right?
    Thanks ahead of time for your input.

    Ranhette,

    Nice job. Simple and to the point - every doubt planted has a chance to grow.

    I have a hard time with my wife and kids too. I am using simple small doubts and am making big use of the chief ploy of Satan - "distraction". Distraction from the dub routine - eg. weekend away, enrolling them in outside interests, buying them new things to occupy themselves, new pets, remodelling, moving house, keeping them up late on saturday nights.....and on and on and on

    To eat an elephant you take one small bite at a time.

    The UN thing is a nice juicy snack. Isn't it?

    Hi Ranchette,

    Great letter! I thought it was good that you didn't try to put your own interpretation on it too much..just presented the facts and let them chew on that for awhile.

    Let us know if you get any response, ok?

    Great letter, Ranchette. Let's them make up their own mind. I copied it also, to show to my niece. Hope you don't mind.

    Good letter, but do you believe it will help? I know that in my wife's case, her mother would just be enraged and stalk us for a few weeks, tossing literature at us. Are they resonable people? I read the letter she wrote you, and I got a shudder-it's just like my father, and my wife's mother-uncannily so.

    I hope your parents wake up, or at least love you without walls, even if they do stick to their beliefs.

    I'd say that was a good job, Ranchette,
    and the right approach to take, too.

    Thanks for your replies.
    I don’t know if this will help. But it’s worth a try.
    I feel I must strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. Most of you have seen what kind of mom I’m dealing with here.
    I have also sent a version of this to my sister and 20 or more former witness friends. I can’t help but feel like I’m burning bridges. I’m not Df or Da but This may change my status, if so I’ll feel it was for a good cause.

    I don’t mind any one using my letter or a version of it. Witnesses aren’t used for thinking for themselves, so I feel we must keep this simple for most of them.
