as http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/92005/reply.ashx (read in full) says, yes, the main watchtower corporate entity may have cut the ties formally while another of its corporate tentacles continues the un ties formally (or even informally) as an ngo more on the quiet.
it is also definitely possible to associate informally rather than openly, formally do so.
wait till jw members find out what's still going on!
Can someone explain this... http://www.dec.org/pdf_docs/PNACS222.pdf
On Page 6 (PDF file page 8) the WTBS is mentioned twice as donor and a recipient in this 2003 document. The whole article seems to be about NGO's and their affiliation with India. Thanks.

tonight i meet with the overseer?
and another elder.
plus the older gentlemen who i study with.
Oh yeah...and then they'll want you to join the "school" and give little readings and talks in front of your new family...yes your new family...gosh that has a nice ring to it. And they'll always be there for you...not like your worldly, fleshly family...you know those gross worldlies that conceived and raised you. I hope you've already severed ties to any previous family. 5 meetings a week and throw out that television because there won't be time to watch with all the personal study you'll need to do...and before you know it your little wifey will pioneer and hey wait a minute...why aren't you reaching out for Ministerial Servant...and then ELDERHOOD. That'll make her soooo happy and proud. OPEN YOUR EYES NOW AND AVOID THE HEARTBREAK OF JW-ISM!!!

Kudo's to everyone. I think we have more power than we sometimes give ourselves credit for. Afterall we are a GROWING force, unlike a certain cult we know. I too hope they actually present a more balanced view of the WTBS in their production. If someone gets thru to one of the producers, please let us know.

PS. WE may be the happiest people on earth since we know the real "Truth."

Here's a quote from their website...try NOT TO VOMIT!
How though, some critics may ask, can a morally conservative religion have any role in defending liberal freedom of choice? Wouldn’t Jehovah’s Witnesses be considered an enemy to a woman who seeks full reproductive rights over her body or a gay man who seeks the right to marry? Jehovah’s Witnesses indeed consider abortion and homosexuality sinful. People who do not choose to follow the Bible-based moral code of Jehovah’s Witnesses cannot become members, and those who stray from the code are asked to leave. Unlike other religions, however, Jehovah's Witnesses do not try to influence the political process by legislating their beliefs, imposing them on their non-Witness neighbors. Jehovah's Witnesses are staunchly apolitical and have no connection to what is commonly known as the "religious right." Jehovah's Witnesses live by the long-held ideal of "Separation of Church and State" in the United States. Jehovah’s Witnesses would never protest an abortion clinic or lobby against the legalization of gay marriage, as other religions do. Jehovah’s Witnesses do not begrudge the fact that their fight for equal protection under the law and medical control over their own bodies has helped other movements. Jehovah’s Witnesses are not interested in limiting the freedoms of groups with which they disagree. They are an example of how Americans with differing views can peacefully coexist.

FYI...when you go to there info website, there are contact emails and phone numbers. Me thinks it might be time to have a mass emailing and phoning. ITVS is funding this one-sided abortion of a film so I think they should be yelled at too. Local PBS stations should be contacted and even picketed when they broadcast it. When they are picketed, the other local news media will cover it. It seems very strange at a time when the WTBS is sucking wind that this obvious PR/Promo film for their cult is being released.
We might be able to take the wind from their sails if we can use the opportunity to anti-witness about their terrific background of child molestation cover-up, killling kids via blood refusal and soooo much more. They're going to mention their Nazi stand. What a great time to quote their former Pres Rutherfart and what he said about the Jews in their own publications.
They talk about special screenings around the country. What a great time for some Lambs and supporters to show up with signs. We might even be able to get help from some of the local churches who don't care for their cult-prosletizing...I don't know...I'm just spitballing here. I think we HAVE to do something to counter this bullshit film! How 'bout some other ideas?

my 11 year old daughter goes to a catholic school.
although i no longer despise that religion as the anti-christ, as i believed it was when i was a young aventist many years ago, i still do not participate.
i will let my kids make up their own minds.
...out of the mouths of babes. (and I don't mean the Pam Anderson kind)

i was looking at the aug 1, 2004 watchtower which discusses government, and on page 6 it basically states that the jw?s provides volunteer relief during times of disaster.
it points to earth quakes in el salvador in 2001 where the world wide brother hood sent not only relief but the jw?s built/repaired over 500 homes and 3 (here is the key phrase) houses of worship.
ok sounds great right, how noble a gesture.
They are masters of deception.

i really blew it yesterday.
we had just gotten home from a very long day and we were contemplating what to do for dinner and then a knock at the door.
the sister was back with an elder and he asked to speak to my husband...completely got his name wrong.
Georgia...
After having considered and discussed your experience with the Aposto-Slave Class we would like to invite you and your family to share your blessed experience on stage at the next Aposto-Convention. We think it would be very uplifting to the rank and file Apostates. Sharing these kinds of experiences with your fellow Apsoto-brothers and sisters helps keep our faith strong until the WTBS day of reckoning comes.

help me posters out there.
my atheist cousin insist that the bible is full of contradictions, and lies and he uses ezekiel 4:12-17 to try and prove that jehovah is just as sick and demented as satan the devil.
he showed me these scriptures where jehovah told ezekiel to bake cake using human feces but ezekiel refused to do it.
mmm mmm good...Say ' Zeke whadya put in them there brownies?

being born and bred into the borg i always felt it was the "truth" but i wasn't the one who measured up i was not good enough to be a dub.
but i also had nagging questions that went unanswered by the most learned elders...or at least not answered to my satisfaction.
their "answers" were in fact not really answers but side-steps or attempts to mis-direct my question into an area they could answer.. an example...it always bothered me that we could not examine the contents of what opposers put out.
M.J...it's easy for 'em when they make it up as they go along.
btafly...I can almost remember that. Sounds like a typical response.
