In all the turmoil, I forgot to welcome you to the board.>
Thank You
I have one question. You wrote that you had called the UN and the WT to get the info. from the "horses mouth" as it were. I can't recall you writing what you found out personally.>
Since I had read a post with someone stating not to call the UN anymore because they were being bombarded with calls I felt bad. But I had to. So I explained as best I could to my cousin everything I knew. I said lets ask them 3 questions and make it short. So I let her write down what she wanted to know. This is how it went.
Did the Watchtower apply for an NGO status. Answer. Yes
Do you have to support the ideas of the UN in order to be accepted. Answer. Ofcourse
Did the WT dissasociate themselves from the NGO status. Answer. Yes
So then my cousin started crying. I was like awwww crap. So I said well lets call the WT and ask them. So I did.
Here is how that went after being transferred 3 times.
I asked, are you a NGO in the UN? Answer. No. (Ok that was stupid because they had dissasociated themselves lol)
I asked, are you going to send a letter to the congregations regarding this matter. Answer. No
I asked, were you ever a NGO in the UN? Answer. If you want to know anything write to the WT.
I asked, whats the address? Answer. It's on the back of any WT publication. You can get it from there.
I said, I can't I burned them. (I really didn't but he was such a drone I had to say something smart azz.

Then my cousin really started crying so then I called the legal department. She was nicer. She said she didn't know how they got there. But that they would answer any questions if you sent them a letter. After *they* received info. Or you could wait to read a explanation in the "Questions for our Readers". And that's how it went.
