I received a letter today from the Watchtower explaining their reasons for registering with the DPI. The last paragraph is perhaps the most interesting, though it may contain no new information.
Joseph F. Alward "Skeptical Views of Christianity and the Bible"
They seem to be preparing their defense by blaming either the Un reps are there writing personel. Certainly not going to accept responsibility themselves.
Oh yeah-right !!! And it took the 10 years to figure it out? Once again, they're making excuses for their duplicity by blaming others, specifically a low ranking member of their flock. Isn't this just a rehash of some of the same excuses for the 1975 fiasco? I just wonder what would've happened to a R/F member if they had a UN library card doing their own research and the GB or BOE found out about it.
Can you Say.....DISFELLOWSHIPPED...in the finest Ray Franz style !!!!!!!!!!
Ignorance is not a valid excuse in a court of law - it is YOUR responsibility to examine contracts/documents you sign. If you sign a contract, you cannot later say "Oh I won't fullfill my end because I didn't realize such and such ...." Nope, doesn't fly.
This doesn't change a thing. The FACT is they joined a 10-year relationship with the most hated enemy of theirs - and now want to play the "Oh woe is us, we didn't know what we signed" card?? Hah ha. Nice try.
please ask them 1st why the portuguese branch told the newspapers it was done to give humanitarian help 2nd why there are no evidences that they ever used the library. Somewhere here was the email of an chief-librarian telling that she did not find any records of JW using the library those 10 years...at least not that often!

Is this true? is there a link? I definitely would like to add this to my collection.
Even if their excuse of just wanting access to the UN's library is the truth; they should know that when you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas. What a pack of hypocrites!!
They faught like warrior poets...and gained their freedom.
