UN sends reply to my inquiry about WTS NGO association- proof at last!

by joe_from_kokomo in

dear friends:.

it's been a while since i posted last, even though i probably still suffer with a newbie status, i did some dandy postings a few months back.

my wife and i are now approaching the 1 year anniversary of our split with the wtbts, and are quite happy with our decision.. one thing we did last year was to write to the u.n directly (i think i got the address from a posting here on this site) and asked specific and direct questions about the wts's involvement and knowledge of ngo requirements.

Please count me in for the letter writing campaign. I think it's simpler than we think. If someone could volunteer to write a model-letter in a Word document along with the address to send it to and give us the link, it would be great.

The only thing it that the letter has to have a request for the UN to put up on their website some kind of explanation on the matter.

Then anyone writing could tweak the letter at will and send it.

Think about it: it would take us no more than printing the letter and a licking on a 34 cents-stamp and the rewards could be enormous. What do you think?

Bonezz have a good point.

I think we should do a "letter campaign" to the UN until they get fed up and put some info on this up on their website. That would be wonderful, don't you think?

Someone get me that address please. :)

WITNESS WORLD IS CLOSING DOWN

this was posted on ww today.

do you think the apostate infiltration had anything to do with it?.

in the name of christian unity and peace, we regret to inform you that the management of ww has decided to close the ?park?

This is living proof that no doctrine system which is based on disinformation/ignorance can survive in this Internet/information era. They either have to reform or they're bound to become even more isolated to the outside world and more cultistic.

It's incredible how only two smart, well coordinated "apostates" can bring a discussion board down. Long live the Net!

Witness World Response to Apostates

by DevonMcBride in

below is what was posted on witness world by polly pan.

i took euphemism's advice and others to protect my identity.

about a week ago it was brought to administrations attention that there may be apostates lurking on our board, as a precautionary measure we deleted 107 members who had never posted since they joined.

endver she also goes by the name of somebodylovesme on other boards.

The irony of this is that they have to go to "other boards" to find that out. Nice!

Folks,

all great comments!

But how does one make these files searchable? I am impressed with the PDF files on the Bookshelf CD because they are scanned images of the pages yet they are completely searchable.

LadyLee, drwtsn32 is right. That is exacly what we trying to achieve: making it searcheable.

I learned that scanning the page at 300 dpi will do for the OCR. But the text result has a lot of misspellings. Unacceptable. That's why I raised the point of which is the best software to do OCR part.

So would I have to do 2 scannings of the same page: one for the OCR and another one for the pdf itself?

drwtsn32,

Yeah, I tried that but it didn't seem to work. I have now learned that the creators of the PDF files on the bookshelf CD used a combination of Omnipage (OCR software) and Acrobat.

It would be great to hear from any of the creators. Anyway you could put me in contact with any of them?

Thanks for the suggestion of pdfcreation.com.

We are grateful to any who could provide additional help. I will continue doing some additional experimentation this week.

Thanks.
