Guys,
Sorry if I was not clear here - I meant the association with the United Nations...

Thank-you! Will check it out!
In a nutshell,
they applied for NGO in 1991 (Loyd Barry and Ciro Alicino signed the application)
Terminated their NGO status in 2001 (thanks to the help of Zev from this board
showing us the UN website with WTBTS as an NGO)

Hi Chicken Lips,
We have got all of the info on the UN involvement.
We have a copy of the 1 Nov 2001 letter from the WTBS, where they admit that they registered as an NGO in 1991.
There is lots of information on this site, just go to the search area (towards top of page) and type in UN Watchtower, it will bring up all of the threads relating to the UN/WT involvement
1. The organisation applied for association in 1991
2. Granted association in 1992
3. Requested termination in Oct 2001
Hope this is of some help

Thanks guys!
Hey everybody:
The Watchtower may have (requested) termination in October 2001, but their name still appears on the NGO database files. They are now classified under (F), in which the database I looked at classifies this as :Freedom and Liberation, as in religious freedom, and so forth. I was under the impression that the UN updated their files electronically. If this is true, then why does the name Jehovahs Witness still appear there. Go to: UIA Database Index Jehovah Witness. Scroll down the J list. Their name is still there. They also are still involved as a NGO in the Holocaust situation.
