    MIR, a participant in German board http://www.infolink-forum.de reports that he contacted the Dag-Hammarskjöld-Library and got the following reply from [email protected]

    Look at no.4!

    1. Can anybody - following a request and explanation as set out above - use
    the library? Yes, provided the criteria have been met and the materials
    required for research are not available elsewhere (i.e., depository library
    or Internet). Subsequent to the tragic events of September 11th, for
    security reasons issuance of library passes has temporarily been suspended.
    2. If somebody requested access, for how long will this be valid [weeks,
    months, years?]? A very limited period of time ranging from several days to
    a week or two. In normal circumstances, this time-frame is adequate since
    UN materials are available world-wide.
    3. Do NGOs, which are registered with the UN's NGO Programme, have the
    right
    to use the Library freely without such request for access? All NGOs with
    grounds passes have free access to the Library.
    4. Did Jehovah Witnesses use the Library very often, as they state now in
    their press-release? No, they did not. We cannot even prove that they ever
    did.

    GermanJW,

    I hope you use your local library. Or did you? Let me call them and find out.

    What?!!

    There is not proof the WTS even used the UN library?

    What is the WTS trying to pull off?

    Also, it is quite clear that UN materials were deposited
    at other libraries, so the WT explanation has become quite
    hollow.

    But they are going to stick with the "library card" excuse!

    Thanks for posting this GermanJW.

    P.S. Does anyone think Ciro will ever answer any questions
    about the NGO UN membership of the WTS? Or will he forever
    say "I will not talk to you!" and then hang up?

    OK so you can't prove they didn't use the library. That's sort of strange phrasing. Can you prove that they didn't?

    Porkie, we can prove "the UN librarians say there is no proof the Watchtower Society ever even used the UN library repository" that German JW has noted, which is as good as the same thing.

    WTS: you lose again!

    It's not the same thing at all and I'm sure you know it. What you hve is nothing and you're trying to make something out of it.

    This would probably lend credence to the original post:

    http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/302011018?q=The+Writing+Department+itself+has+a+comprehensive+library&p=par

    One of the large university libraries that our researchers use has some five million books, 58,000 periodicals, 5.4 million microforms, and thousands of electronic databases. The Writing Department also maintains a large archive of clippings, experiences, and historical information that is constantly being updated with material from local sources as well as from our branch offices around the world.

    Why would you need to go anywhere else?

    And from what I understand using clippings leads to quotes out of context.

    One of the large university libraries that our researchers use ...

    They are against US getting an education at a university, but they themselves use their libraries for "research"!

    What hypocrites.

    Let's review: It's a cult!
