I have mailed wannahelp and asked him to contact you, Wendy. Let's hope he does. I could have given you addresses and stuff, but when someone have not stated it's OK to give away that information - I simply play safe.
I hope you understand.

Thanks Kent
Most of the info before 1996 is not even on the website. You have to find the docket # and actually request for it to be sent to you. They do send some via Email, I just thought it would be quicker if he can pick it up. I will go ahead and request email copies of it as well. Like I said I do not know what is on these pages, I am just going by the titles. Judging by what I have read today, alot of useless(to us anyway) info. But every now and then you find a jem

Thanks Kent - I guess "Luke didn't go over to the dark side of the force" today.
You Rock Wendy. You are 8 hours from the city? I am about 7 1/2 hours from Tarrytown and live in Kingston, Ontario. Where are you?
ooooooohhh - Did you hear that.
That was Ted taking another one in the lower area of his body.
Gee, I wonder if Mr. Society Man himself, Ciro Aulicino, has left for greater pastures. Wonder what he will have to write about since his main topics about the UN literature have been taken away - LOL
Metatron was right - this really reminds me of the movie Dumb and Dumber.

Hi Hawk,
Is there anything else up your sleeve or can people who are considering contacting the press move ahead? Below is another sample of the pseudo-press release. And don't hammer me folks, I'm not a professional so have mercy. Anybody can use any part of it they like. I'm thinking it's getting on time to circulate the word to the outside world?
Ready to go, Hawk?

Controversial Religious Sect's association with United Nations
withdrawn after former sect members blow the whistle.
Former members of Jehovah's Witnesses recently made a
scandalous discovery when they learned the Watchtower Bible
and Tract Society, also known as Jehovah's Witnesses, had
affiliated itself with the United Nations by soliciting to
become an associated Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).
Former members flooded the United Nations and The Watchtower's headquarters in Brooklyn with phone calls, protesting that for years the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has issued scathing statements in it's magazines and from the pulpit that malign the United Nations, dubbing it the "disgusting thing" and likening it to the "scarlet colored wild beast" of the bible. The Watchtower Organization seemingly bowed to pressure from former and current members alike by withdrawing it's status earlier this week.
While a seemingly harmless affiliation to most of us, the
reckoning of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's quietly
associating itself with the U.N. is the making of a substantial scandal for the controversial religious organization. Former members of Jehovah's Witnesses argued that the Watchtower Society has repeatedly painted a vile description of the United Nations and it's goals before an audience of about six million adherents. Recently, however, the United Nations received an unprecedented number of phone calls from outraged former members who stumbled upon the news that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, who made an art out of skewering the United Nations in it's publications, has been an affiliated NGO since 1991, a far cry from standing apart from the "disgusting thing" they have often described it as.
Why is is this newsworthy?
Stunned former members of Jehovah's Witnesses who learned of
the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's association with the
United Nations and intitated a grass roots effort to draw
attention to the situation that could prove enormously
embarassing to the United Nations and spark revolt among the
rank and file members of the sect. This revelation could be
highly detrimental to the credibility of Watchtower Bible and
Tract Society in the eyes of both the United Nations and of
the religious organization's millions of adherents. Former members allege that the sect misled the United Nations by petitioning to
support and promote it's purposes while simultaneously
maligning it before the Watchtower Society's millions of
faithful believers.
Most rank and file members had no knowledge of the Watchtower
Society's affiliation with the United Nations, and, as they
have been led to believe the United Nations represents the
"Scarlet-colored wild beast" of the bible, they would be
shocked to learn of this affiliation.

As I thought I posted before but maybe not
Let it ROLL !!!!!!!
There are others who have taken your release - "tweeked" it to their liking and should have or about to issue a release as well.
Oh - why not attach the letter Hoeffel sent and ask this question.
We wonder why the United Nations let a NGO like the Watchtower, who has human rights problems, become associated with the UN's DPI in the field of human rights?
Or something like that
