For Any JW Who Doubts The WT/ UN Connection
by Ranchette inwe've all seen the scathing things wt has printed about the un over the years but in the last few yrs there has been a change in tone when they speak of the un at times.below i provide an example of this courtesy of dec 8,2000awake.. i made some quotes bold print.as you read notice the complimentary tone and the spots where un photos appear.those were probably obtained as a perk with their membership.. ask your self,is this any way to speak of the scarlet colored wild beast?
part of saten's org?if you can look at the magazine.it looks like a propaganda piece.. the problems of children.
the solution at last .

Am I crazy or what!
by Ranchette inmost of you are are aware that i sent out a letter to friends and family exposing the organizations association with the un.. since that time there have been several very important developments including wtbs dissacociating themselves from the un.. because of this i felt i had to get this new information out to everyone i had writen the origional letter to.. i sent this update to out of town friends and family.i encluded a copy of the un letter announcing wt's dissacociation and the two guardian articles.. my plan met with a problem.i knew my local po had warned everyone not to read anything else from me.i knew he would do this so i even sent him a letter along with the rest to show that i stand behind what i wrote and i'm not afraid of him.. today i did the only thing i could think of,i wrote a new letter to the po.. here it is,.
dear po 10-16-01. circumstances have changed since my last letter to you and others.. i am honor bound to update you and them of these changes.
im sure that youve told everyone not to open anything from me so thats why i am writing to you only.. the information i sent earlier was accurate and true at the time but as i stated earlier things have changed.. enclosed please find an official copy of the october 11th 2001 letter announcing the termination of the wtbs association with the united nations.

Divide And Conquer /with UN Issue & others
by Ranchette inas this un issue has unfolded we have been working very hard to expose the hypocrisy and deceit of the society to our friends and family and also the public.. we continue to be shocked and amazed at the crazy stunts the wtbs pulls.. when i heard that dutch bethel had something to say about this i started thinking about the uninted we stand, divided we fall concept.. i am wondering if we could put more effort into getting this important information to all wt branches all over the world.. as these issues crop up it would be great if we could publicize all of the branches, their addresses, phone#, fax #, e-mails etc.. i noticed that even within brooklyn they dont always know what is going on.. i was thinking that if i were in one of the other branches around the world i would be enraged that brooklyn got us into this mess and brought reproach on jahs name they are also screwing up with the child abuse issue and many others.. is it possible to cause these other branches to question and turn on brooklyn?.
any thoughts on this out there?.

One Way WT Used Their UN Connection !
by Ranchette inthis quote comes from the wt's brochure called mission to africa.. the entire brochure is on kents site the watchtower observer.. our activity was often hindered by difficulties particular to the region.
distances are vast and lines of communication almost nonexistent.
the best form of travel, if not the only one, is the airplane.

First Reaction To My UN letters
by Ranchette inmy husband called his cousin this morning and the first thing the cousin said to my husband was something like, are you aware that your wife sent us some information that was very disturbing to us?.
my husband let him know that he did not know i was sending out those letters but he had since done research on the info and found that i was correct.. the cousin asked my husband if he was aware that i could be in trouble for a letter like that.
my husband informed him again that i was telling the truth and he had called the un himself to verify.. the cousin said he would call the society to see if this is true but.

PARADISE HOPE FOR THE NON-RELIGIOUS APOSTATE
by Ranchette inyes, we non-religious apostates have our paradise fantasies too.
most of us let go of the fantasy of living forever on a paradise earth for another hope.
the one we hope in is a little more realistic than the one we have left behind.. we have accepted that we dont have all the answers about god and an afterlife.

I GOT TWO NEW RETURN VISITS TODAY!!
by Ranchette ini do have two new return visits but they are not from field service.. my womens club went to a local nursing home today.
we brought the elderly gifts, we sang songs with them, and we brought our pets, and listened to them.
they were so happy to see us and share some of their lifes experiences with us.. it was different to go to a nursing home with no ulterior motives like pushing jw literature.. it felt right to just give them what they wanted most.
