The latest news about the WT, UN, NGO situation indicates that the WT is being forced to disassociate themselves from this status.
GOOD!!!! They are getting what they deserve!!!!
And just as has been mentioned, some of the remaining jdubyas will probably say that apostates lied about it when they don't see the WT listed as an NGO anymore, but there will probably be some who did see it and will begin to question things a little more and/or leave.
But whatever the effect on those inside the borg, if we flip the script on this we can see a fact that continues to present itself throughout all of the deceptions that the WT puts out there:
Their own writings within their own publications are one of the most powerful things that can be used to bring them down.This situation with the UN proves that.So thanks to Hawkaw and any others who used these things to open the eyes of the UN. And lets continue to do it.
There is no doubt in my mind that for any one of us who wants to see the WT go down completely (And I am one who wants to see this happen), if we continue to use their own writings against them, this will help that to happen.
BTW the special meeting in NYC was held at Nassau Coliseum this past Sunday and myself and another former JW went there with signs and we picketed the meeting. This was a lot of fun.We did it in the morning when they were going in and in the afternoon when they were leaving.We stood right at the gate of the coliseum so that all the cars going in would have a clear view.Many slowed down to read the entire message on our signs.Many who were walking slowed their pace to read the signs. My sign said: "Watchtower Society now supports the UN since 1991 212-963-6842. And then underneath that my sign said: Watchtower Society also harbors pedophiles www.silentlambs.org.
My companions sign said :Shame on the Jehovahs Witnesses-In bed with the UN www.un.org 212-963-6842.
We stayed there from 8 am to about 3:30 pm.
People were actually showing interest in the signs message.One bro even stopped to talk to us to the chagrin of many onlookers. A number of sisters even stopped to ask us directions for the bus. Wow!!!! Asking apostates directions???? Could be a dfing offense in the next elders manual.:) :)
Anyway I even showed the bro who stopped to talk to us the 11/15/01 WT article where they criticize the UN in the study article and told him this was hypocritical in light of the info on our signs.All I can say is that he listened and even shook our hands. We Loved it!!!!
I would like to applaud my companion because he drove 2 hours from another state to be there to protest the WTS. I live only 20 min-30 min from the coliseum. So I would really like to commend him for his efforts.
Lets keep up the enlightenment!!!!
