OK, we have heard the (library card responce) from the Borg. If joining the U.N. az an N.G.O. waz such a "minor thing", then why did they cancel their membership immediatly after discovery, & why join in the first place? To risk,'touching the unclean thing', for such a small reward calls into question their understanding of the schriptures once again!
The total distain that the "grand poopas" have for the rank & file "dubs" iz so obvious, but if you call yourself one of their sheep, I guess you have it coming!

Well thought out moman and welcome.
However, it is important that you understand that the Watchtower was already a Non Governmental Organization (NGO).
As an existing NGO the Watchtower VOLUNTARILY SOLICITED the United Nations (UN) Department of Public Information (DPI) to obtain an "associate" status. In 1992, a DPI committee reviewed the Watchtower's application, references, financial records, examples of work that showed it promoted the UN and had the capablity of reaching a large audience etc... and formerly granted "association" to the NGO called the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York.
The DPI considers "associate" NGOs such as the Watchtower as "partners".
