  So, this is related to this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/152239/1.ashx.

  I have a copy of a public talk from this elder. His first name is definitely Phil, but his last name....I can't quite make it out. Olesina? Olesema? Alaseno? Not sure. During the course of the talk, he says his wife's name is Lolly (Loli? Lali? Again, I can't really understand it). He's a Bethelite, and the talk I have was recorded in Delaware. Can anyone help me out?

  If you know the actual spelling of his name, or what capacity he holds at WTower headquarters, I'd appreciate it.

  I'm going to put highlights (lowlights?) of the talk on YouTube, but first I need some information.

  It's a doozy of a talk, by the way. One of my relatives sent the talk to my sister, thinking it would "bring her back", but instead, she ejected the CD from her stereo after five minutes and couldn't listen to another minute of it. She told me she couldn't believe she used to believe all that 'junk'. That's when I asked for a copy of the talk.

  Thanks in advance.

  Ciro Aulicino is or was in the WTS writing department, and was involved in the UN/NGO affiliation that the Society had.

  Key quote from the above link:

  2. Was it a only an underling who was responsible for obtaining NGO status with the UN without the knowledge of the Governing Body? Hardly! The UN lists W. L. (Lloyd) Barry (who was vice-president at the time of application) as well as Ciro Aulicino (a member of the Watchtower's writing department) as the contacts for the Watchtower. In 1994 an alternate representative was listed as Mr. Robert Johnson who was a member of the Watchtower's service department and was the Watchtower's official spokesman in 1994. Thus the Watchtower's service and writing department as well as their Governing Body were all thoroughly involved with the UN connection.

  Hi SB,

  It turns out that I started a thread about Ciro last November!

  I think putting up a talk of his online would be both interesting and instructive.
