    We are not in anyway associated with Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

    The response I got from WANGO.....

    People have the option to list their organizations on our website at www.wango.org. You can contact that organization if you have further questions about them.

    Practical joke and you guys fell for it hard......

    Randy, I'm using a Mac so I am unable to highlight the obvious bits, but I would recommend downloading this :

    MisterAmos, I found an online application form. But can't that be denied?

    Perhaps I should sign up Canned Peaches and see what happens

    I kept writing to WANGO until they gave me an answer. I asked them if the information concerning the Watchtower was correct on the link in Randy's post. Here is what they wrote back.

    Randy, the listing of the Watchtower is part of a GENERAL list of known NGO's. It doesn't look like WANGO membership list. To see the WANGO membership list you have to log in.

    I entered JWD into their database. It didn't show up after a few minutes so I'm guessing someone must approve the self-submittals first.
