I am pasting this from another thread but afraid it won't get seen so starting a new one.
The WTS still associates with the UN through offshoot programs ..(as recently as June 08) and had no problem participating in the UN Birthday back in 2005 I think.....the WTS is also still affiliated with the para military organization known as the OSCE....which under it's previous name was spoken against......
Can someone please direct me to where I can print out proof of this?
Thanks,
Tweetie
UN Agenda 21 from June 2008 http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/159534/1.ashx
Best to check out http://www.randytv.com/ too!.......a fine selection on WTS involvement & b-day activity!
I will post more on the OSCE later.....
About
With 56 States drawn from Europe, Central Asia and America, the OSCE is the world's largest regional security organization, bringing comprehensive and co-operative security to a region that stretches from Vancouver to Vladivostok. It offers a forum for political negotiations and decision-making in the fields of early warning, conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation, and puts the political will of the participating States into practice through its unique network of field missions.
Activities
The OSCE is the largest regional security organization in the world. It conducts a wide range of activities related to all three dimensions of security — the human, the politico-military and the economic-environmental.
2007 conference list http://www.osce.org/documents/odihr/2007/09/26586_en.pdf starting on page 45....please note # 10, 93, 94, 243 and 328
In a bit I will post what the WT CD has to say.....to contrast..
Thanks!
I don't see how they can justify this. What I really don't understand is how any thinking JW that knows about this can blindly sit by and accept it.
Nobody knows.
The internet is the only way they could find out, and the Internet is NOT for researching JWs.
The document above is the “Preliminary List of Attendees .” Doing my best to play “Watchower's Advocate,” I fear some may claim that the preliminary attendees list is a simple cut-and-paste job from some master list of NGOs unrelated to organizations actually associating with the OSCE. For such folks the “Final List of Participants,” dated 5 October 2007 (the last day of the conference), can be found here - http://www.osce.org/item/27123.html – on the 2007 Human Dimension Implementation Meeting page – http://www.osce.org/conferences/hdim_2007.html.
Here's the numbering in the final participants' list:
9: Administrative Centre of Jehovah's Witnesses, Russia
87: European Association of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses
88: European Association of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses
235: Office of General Counsel for Jehovah's Witnesses
324: Watchtower Bible and Tract Society – Poland
Other groups of interest at the 24 September – 5 October 2007 OSCE Human Dimension Implementation Meeting included:
44: Campaign Against Homophobia
168: International Lesbian and Gay Association-European Region
94: European Organisation of Military Associations (EUROMIL)
91: European Humanist Federation
30: B'nai B'rith International
136: Holy Association for Unification of World Christianity
And, participating not as an NGO but as a national OSCE member...
...the Warsaw Delegation of the Holy See
The next time my Ministerial Servant (I guess I'm “his study” and he's mine) shows up at the door, I'm going to have to express my regret for having misunderstood the literature he's given me. I hadn't realized the Organization was so willing to join hands with such a diversity of others in common cause for the betterment of mankind in this world.
Of course seven006 made a great point back in Jan 08 resurrecting the International Federation of Religious and Philosophical Minorities (FIREPHIM) debacle...
