  FBI - Jehovah's Witnesses Files

  What do the FBI have on the Jehovah's Witnesses? You can get their files by requesting them from the FBI Freedom of Information Act Unit. We have noted the number you need to get the information.

  Jehovah’s Witnesses - SSA draft - HQ-0250383681
  Jehovah’s Witnesses - HQ-0610001053

  TO OBTAIN ANY FILE:
  Write the FBI and request, by name and file number, the one or ones you are interested in under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (5 USC 552):

  FBI Freedom of Information Act Unit
  Office of Public and Congressional Affairs
  Federal Bureau of Investigation
  935 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.
  Washington, DC 20535-0000

  List which files you want, mention if you are a member of the press, and tell the FBI that you agree to pay reasonable fees up to $20 without additional permission so that they can process your request. In some cases, members of the media can request and receive a waiver of fees otherwise charged under FOIA. To receive a fee waiver, members of the media must explain to the FBI how release of the information will further the public understanding of how government works, and how you intend to disseminate that information. Standard copying fees for FBI Freedom of Information material are 10¢/page, with the first 100 pages free.

  Kent,

  Wow! That could lead to a lot of interesting information. The thought of looking into this occured to me about a week ago, but I hadn't followed up.

  It seems to me that there would have to be a file on Rutherford, since he did jail time, and predicted that the Nazis would take over England and the U.S. Our government takes a dim view of statements like that.

  I am going to see what I can find out.

  Does anybody know what this was about offhand and if legit? I looked up the case number but only found a few other links or sites that didn't disclose it but pretty much said the same thing as the OP post did.
