  following is the response of a jw to the information regarding the un/ngo status of the watchtower society.

  it seems not all will see with clarity the hypocritical position of the organisation in this matter:.

  This is a response I got about it from a long time witness. Any comment???

  On the UN
  Jws are trying to gain recognition for their religion world wide so that JWs can live in peace and carry out the assignment Jesus gave. They have used the international court to resolve issues in Greece, Russia, et al. They also worked with the US government to the same ends. They are also currently working with the French government to resolve the opposition there. But are they involved in politics or legally establishing the good news? Paul also spoke to kings and even appealed to Caesar. Did that put him in bed with the disgusting thing.

  Okay I looked at the UN site and what did I find? They are listed along with about every religion and charitable organization in the world. And what were the issues they were involved with? Human rights. Was Paul involved in this issue? Phil 1:7 says " It is altogether right for me to think this regarding all of YOU, on account of my having YOU in my heart, all of YOU being sharers with me in the undeserved kindness, both in my [prison] bonds and in the defending and legally establishing of the good news." If Paul could do this when what is wrong with the WTS pursuing this at the UN level?

  I am curious to the evidence brought forth by Russel's wife that he was a crook(where is it). What were the suits that she brought against Russel?

  1914 just does not make much sense as a benchmark for anything past 2014. Its like referencing your local grocery store to someone who needs directions by giving its proximity to the Leaning Tower of Pissa. -OM

  well, i just received a letter from my mom and i dont know how to describe my feelings at this time.

  i thought id share parts of it with you and see what yall think.

  i will delete names and add my own words in parenthesis to describe whom shes talking about.. after a few lines of small talk she says this..........i do want to tell you, since (you and your husband) have rejected the truth, i am so glad (your son) is not old enough to join or be drafted into the military.

  I'd remind your mom that; she, you, and your son are all gonna end up in bodybags in time. Hopefully if everything goes okay, she will go first,then you, and then your son. Oh yea, and your all gonna pay taxes in the mean time. -OM
