The reply I'm going to send is to the sister who wrote to the society, not the wbts itself. Its more going to be along the lines of 'you know I've been looking into this, thanks for sending me a copy of the letter you received. I've still got a few questions about it, I wonder if you found the answers to any of them while you were looking in to it?'
The main difference I can see between this letter and the one listed on legolas's link is they already get round the problem of them not needing to become an NGO to access the library, they say thats what they got told at the time. If I call them a barefaced liar the sister who I'm writing to will just switch off and not listen to a word I say.
What I found more interesting was the link to the press release from 1992 where they state that to be accepted as NGO's they must show support for the charter of the UN. And perhaps more importantly, the association of one inactive NGO was terminated. This means that if the wbts did not present evidence of their work, including showing support etc, their membership would have been terminated.
I was thinking of sending a copy of the QFR where it was stated the joining the YMCA even to just use the gym was a disfellowshipping offence because it meant you agreed with their principles instead of relyin on Jehovah.lol... great idea! Something tells me THAT particular question will not be published.
Hell, give it a try and see what happens!
That was a question from readers from the late 70s I believe. Can someone post a copy of it, and also the article which the letter refers to? I don't have the WT library on my computer anymore, cheers.
