A factual summary of the WT-UN issue
by comment inwhat i've written here is a straightforward, easy-to-digest, basic factual summary of the issue.
feel free to send it to anyone you like or post it anywhere.. .
an ngo is a non-governmental organization.. according to the definition used by the united nations (un), ngos operate on a non-profit basis, perform humanitarian work and advocate various causes with governments.. more than 1,500 ngos have voluntarily applied to cooperate with the department of public information (dpi) of the un.. in order for the un to accept an application, an ngo must agree to build support for the un and to disseminate information about it to their members.. the watchtower society voluntarily applied to cooperate with the dpi of the un in 1991. the application was successful.. the contact person listed on the application was lloyd barry, a member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.. for many years, the watchtower society has identified the un as the "scarlet-colored wild beast" and "the disgusting thing" of bible prophecy.. the watchtower society has repeatedly stated that the un blasphemes by setting itself up as mankind's best hope for world peace rather than promoting god's kingdom.. the watchtower society has repeatedly condemned religions that cooperate with the un, identifying them as "babylon the great, the mother of the harlots and the disgusting things of the earth.".

Tape record Oct. 7 meeting
by comment incould anyone who is attending the special meeting on october 7 arrange to tape record it?.
it would probably not be that hard to bring in one of those mini-cassette recorders and at least capture part of what is said.. i am sure others who are unable to attend the meeting would be interested in hearing a recording.
and if it turns out to be a "historic occasion," it would be nice for the world to have a document of it.. comment

Pure Propaganda
by comment ini believe someone else already posted an excerpt from the following document on the board, but i wanted to comment on one specific portion.. it's a 1999 australian senate committee hearing on religious freedom.
for a free society is to allow people to have whatever opinions they want, unless it gets to the stage where they are destroying the public order.".
"now, whether or not it is destroying the public order should be a matter for objective analysis, not a subjective, bigoted type of.

Important point re WT-UN issue
by comment inon the main thread concerning the watchtower society's being a registered non-governmental organization with the united nations, the objection was raised that if the department of public information decides to revoke the society's ngo status, those wishing to expose the society's hypocrisy in this matter would no longer have the option of showing their witness acquaintances the society's name listed among the other ngos on the un web site.. however:.
if the society lost its status and was removed, would there not be an announcement or press release on the web site about the decision?
it would be very odd to just drop an ngo without letting the public know about it.

13. sadly, some christians today willfully ignore the apostle paul's inspired counsel to marry "only in the lord.
" (1 corinthians 7:39) how foolish!
