i was reading brant jones' experience (published on jwfacts.com).

Phizzy, they didn't even claim it happened.
They want the reader to arrive at that conclusion without them having to make the claim (because it would be a lie), and without providing evidence for it (because there isn't any). They have pulled out one of their favorite tricks of not lying, but not telling the truth, worded in a way to fool the reader into believing something the author doesn't believe himself and never actually said.
to hawaii!!
what were you thinking?.
ive been to the big island twice when i was a 11 and 13. my sister lived there and flew me out.

So .... going by Dana's view, the WT researchers would only be denied access if they didn't pass inspection by UN Security.
How often did that happen?
Did it ever happen?
Where is it documented?
Is there any evidence that any WT journalist was ever denied access to any of the contents of the UN library for any reason, prior to the church's applying for membership?
well... as they say on talk back radio "i'm a long time listener, first time caller"(poster in this case!).
i have been a "lurker" for several years, but never had the courage to take the step and join up...until now.. i really want to thank everyone for their insights and comments throughout the forum.
although i have not contibuted to discussions, i have benefitted very much from all of your comments and observations on all topics.
WoW. You are spoiled. You even got a welcome from our Granny Mouthy who says she doesn't live here any more.
It's nice you finally popped in.
Cheers
Chris
i wanted to express appreciation to the members of this forum.
there are resources here that are deep.
like we heard from the stage, "what is your depth and breadth of bible knowledge?
I'm pleased you had the sense to toss that bucket.
Welcome to your New World.

i wondered how fast the wt publications used the word "soon"... as in expectation of some prophecy or fulfillment.... eight pages into the first watchtower... july 1879.... "our design has been to present to the body of christ, "the chaste virgin" church, which expects soon to go in to the marriage and become christ's bride, a selection of sacred songs especially adapted to her condition and expressive of her desires and hopes.".
the expectation?
1881. http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/1800s.php.
I use 'soon' with my JWs whenever I agree to do something they know I am never going to do.

Does the letter provide evidence that the contents of the library were unavailable to them if they didn't have NGO status?
Is there any evidence anywhere that the contents of the library were unavailable to them if they didn't have NGO status?
I'm not aware of any rules that would have denied them access to the library or the contents, only that they had to apply ahead for a day pass if they wanted to visit Dag Hammarskjöld. If that is correct, then there was no NEED to join and their excuse is BS. It is up to the person making the claim, that they needed membership for access, so it is up to them to prove it.
just wondering, i enjoyed checking it out from time to time.
and i apologize in advance if it is still on here.
it wouldn't come up in my search.
"Jehovah and his useless penis" has disappeared too.
my window cleaner is a jw and as i am always working when he comes to my house i haven't seen him or spoken to him in years.
the other day i was in my local town and went into a cafe for some lunch.
who is sitting there but my window cleaner and his wife.
Any JW who works for me, talks to me. They don't have a choice.
i think i typically don't want to be either love bombed or questioned.
i happen to see jws a lot while visiting my mom.
they don't go there with me, which works well for all concerned..
I target members of any cult. I don't see the cult I was born into as being deserving of any special consideration.
