I am probably behind most of you in this 'library card' defense discussion, but does anyone know more details about the letter that appears at www.thetruthhurts.freeservers.com/dag.htm ? It appears to be from the Head Librarian of the Dag Hammarskjold Library and seems to pretty effectively knock down the WatchTower's defense point-by-point.
Also, has anyone determined if a "library card" could have been obtained by WTS without associating as an NGO? Perhaps they are viewed as members of the press by virtue of Awake/WatchTower magazines or they could be considered "serious researchers" by the UN?

8Library Card Defense - All aspects
by Lionel_P_Hartley inthis thread is for a general all-inclusive discussion of the library card explanation presented by the wts.
nothing within that context should be considered off-topic.. to get the ball rolling:.
by affiliating with the un as an ngo an organization agrees to support and advance un goals.

What about the money
by miner ini read not long ago that the wts rakes in some big bucks every year from sales of printed materials.
can someone please help me understand who pays for their materials.

Dear E-PB,
You're right; literature was not the best word choice...I could be wrong or maybe it varies from country to country (I live in Ukraine), but my Jehovah's Witness friends do not pay for what they distribute and have never mentioned any kind of pressure for contributions. Miner -

I'm not sure if it's the right thing to throw out this question here or not...(MSIL, Hope you don't mind!) I keep seeing references to Jehovah's Witnesses who are still serving time in prison due to their refusal to either be drafted or serve in alternative service. Were these people sentenced prior to the new light or does this continue on in certain countries?

MSIL,
Thanks for sharing your personal experiences here. I'm sorry for you and angry; in light of recent events, it all seems so unnecessary.
However, your story will encourage others with similar experiences and keep the fire going under many of us who, like you, still have family/friends hanging on to the org.
I admire your courage.
