Point one, it has not been a requirement, ever, to become an NGO to use the UN Library.
Point two, the form they signed in 1991, had to be signed every year, so for 10 years they did not read the form they were signing.
Pont three, the requirements of an NGO, to support the goals of the UN and its charter, have been such from 1991 to 2001 and still is.
The WTS is betting that the average JW will hesitate to contact the UN directly and find this out.
The article they cite in the 1995 Watchtower was there because it was part of the requirement as an NGO to promote and support the charter of the UN in their publicatons.

so they didnt notice the offending language for 10 years
Yet, they had to register annually with the DPI to maintain their NGO status. Are they so stupid they just signed the documents and returned them to the UN? I hardly think so.
coffee,
The article they cite in the 1995 Watchtower was there because it was part of the requirement as an NGO to promote and support the charter of the UN in their publicatons.
That's why I think the follow-up question of this sister should be:
Did you write this promotional material as part of your NGO agreement with the UN?

and then they discontinue association only after being found out
Not only just after they got found out, THE VERY NEXT DAY!!!!! They withdrew the very next day following the Guardian story.
Gadget, I'm really upset to hear that someone would manipulate the letter. The WTS does so much genuinely wrong, no need to embellish. Embellishing just weakens our position, as you said.
For a balanced view of the United Nations organisation, please see The Watchtower of October 1, 1995, page 7, of which a photocopy is enclosed.
What does this article say? Why would they published a "balanced" view of the wild beast?

Who determines what's "balanced", I wonder? Certainly not the receiver of the letter!
Reading through this tome, it strikes me that once again, the WTS is committing the sin of Adam i.e. the woman made me do it or "they" made us register (with the UN).

Ok...They taught that the UN is the wild beast of Revelation. ; What are they doing having any contact whatsoever with the beast...even if it was only to use the Library....in the first place
EXACTLY! "Hi there Satan...yeah, just in to use your library..yeah sure, we`ll go out for drinks afterwards..."
Still, the Criteria for Association with the DPI contain some language that we cannot subscribe to. When we realised this, we immediately withdrew our registration in 2001. We are grateful this matter was drawn to our attention.
Translation:
Damn, we got caught!

The FDS write the articles and so they have the right to decide which one applies when. That's why you can find mutually exclusive explanations of the same issues. When a problem arises they can refer you to the one which they arbitrarily decide you should read to get a 'balanced view'.
