Dear friends
This is my story (in development)…
Firstly, since my native language is spanish, bear with any erros in writing & simple sentences, please.
I a JW 45 years old, married, 2 sons (15 & 10 y.o.) and a girl (2 y.o.). The UN scandal made me start an investigation 4 months ago, I have been lurking in this site for 3 months already. This is what happened:
Around a week after the news in the Guardian newspaper I, as I told you, came across this news by chance on the Internet. At that time a very good friend of mine & elder of our congregation (Brother F) was out of town, so I asked him by mail if he could check whether this thing was true. We both started our investigations & we both realized that the WT had put her feet in it & worse, they had lied in the "Letter to all Branches" telling that they had afilliated for using the library card. We kept my investigation & found out about the compromise with the nazis with the "Declaration of Facts" & the "Letter to Hitler" & many bad things more. I went to the Branch in my country & to talk to an elder there about this UN affair and his answer was "That is what the Society has told as to say"… My wife told me not to risk my neck by I spoke to the elders of our congo (my friends too), & they came home. they had no answer. After a week the came home again, the told me that the had new information from the branch. But nothing new… they kept silent when I showed them the information I had. I also spoke to another elder of our congregation (Brother L), He had had problems with unjust treatment of things by the Branch. After giving him copies of all the information I had and talking for a couple of hours he agreed with me completely and told "They lied!" and asked me to keep him informed. So in our congo, out of 4 elders, 2 have already seen this hipocrisy, another elder is half convinced & the last one in mute. Things are calmed now, but I do not know for how long. There are a total or 12 or 15 people who know this UN affair in our congregation, they all agree with us…. but there is a silence code now…some people (friends) of a couple of congos know too. This is like eggs, they will hatch for sure, when?… maybe with the next visit of the CO. Also, my sister-in-law (a catholic) is buying Raymond Franz books next week.
In the mean time Brother F asked me to write to this forum for help. Could you?
1. We need specific quotes of the WT. Quotes that show lies, not contradictions.
2. In the Jun 1, 1991 Watchtowser, they charge the Catholic Church with collaborating with the UN and tell about a book that affirms that there were 24 Catholic organizations supporting the UN in that year. Could some of them be NGOs? Does anybody know the name of the book & its author?. If at least one of those Catholic Organizations was an NGO, they are in trouble.
Thanks for any help friends.
