Divide And Conquer /with UN Issue & others

as 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?.

the nyt has a series of forums and one is devoted to religious issues, particularly in light of current events.

it occurs to me that the wts's recent actions provide an opportunity to generate discussion.

maybe if enough people post something it will get the nyt itself interested...... here is the link - you have to register though - link: http://forums.nytimes.com/webin/webx?13@@.f1a996e

flash - major breaking!!!!!!!.

i just talked to paul hoeffel 1:35pm - he phoned me.. okay people.

i can now confirm that the watchtower has provided a letter in writing to dpi indicating that the wts has "disassociated" themselves from dpi - ie the wts has made it offical that they have quit.. i can also confirm that the wts has been updating dpi regularily as they are suppose to over the last 10 years.. i can also can say that something is in the works that i can disclose by hopeflly tomorrow.

i do not understand why jw's spend so much time protecting the watchtower and the society.

if the bible is god's word, then why would you need someone to interpret it for you?

now i realize, that jw's mention being "enlightened", etc.
