Please note - This is from the DPI. You will first see my Email I received from Ms. Oca and then the first of three attachments. The first one is called "Application.doc". The document was sent to me in as WORD file so its format really sucks but I want to get it out. The next POST I make will have the "required applications materials" form and the "criteria for association" form.
To all people who want original copies of these forms, I will send these three documents to dungbeetle and then she can distribute them to whoever wants them. I have requested dungbeetle to get them to Kent so he can post them (if he is interested) at the Watchtower observer. Maybe, other Watchtower observers can contact dungbeetle and post the original documents on their web sites too!!!!

Application-Form.doc (Note to readers this is in a "Word file" format and thus I am editing so we can read it.

This will hopefully happen in the near future with the help of people like dungbeetle)
