  Avishai,

  I agree. I will need to get my hands on the guardian article. I think it will be extremely important to her the timeline as to when they withdrew. She hates being lied to.

  I checked out that link but I can't find what you are referring to. If you can tell me where that article can be found that would help to show they KNEW what they were doing.

  read it and see that the pres actually was on the ball and had the machinery turned on and ready to operate.

  if a dummy like clinton (gore or kerry as well) had been in charge, who knows what would have happened!

  I would go with black and white it is much more dramatic.

  Everything I do, I do for you ~ Bryan Adams

  My husband (then fiance) and I went to see Robin Hood on a JW "date". We picked that song for our wedding song. It still brings tears to my eyes when I hear it.

  Frannie,

  I realize that. However, that is intangible and I can't prove that to my mother. My mother has been in the troof for over 25 years. My father was an elder but stepped down for medical reasons. Now that he is feeling better, it is only a matter of time that he is an elder again. I am hoping that just the fact that they were members will be "food for thought".

  I mentioned that the mags are stilled charged for in other countries and her reply was well if the legal loophole is there, why shouldn't they use it?!!! I didn't realize I was raised by such unethical people...

  Thank you. Just what I needed.

  As you might suspect. My mother had NEVER heard about this before. It was never mentioned. I'm not going to get my hopes up too much because I think she will just rationalize it away especially since they are no longer members.

  oh well I can keep trying

  You will not believe this!!!

  My parent's came to visit me this weekend. I decided to start a conversation with my mom about JW's and why I don't go anymore. I brought up the UN scandal. She vehemently denied it. I said it was part of public record and she relented and said ok maybe they were member without knowing about it. WTF??? I said I don't think that is possible. So I asked her if it mattered to her if they were or not. She said, "well I would like to know". My heart jumped for joy. I told her I would get her the information. A few minutes later she said, "don't mail the info to me I'll look at it when I come back." She doesn't want to start and argument with my dad (that would be a bad scene). That actually made me even happier because she was continually thinking about it. Here is where you guys come in...

  I need the physical proof of when the WTBTS became member, when they left. I need it all. If it is available on the internet it has to be from a UN source otherwise she will disregard it. Any suggustions?
