I do not think it is read in all congregations. I read one thread that one speaker did it, thats all I know.

Maybe they're trying to make of light of their NGO association.
I'm sure they have had quite a few calls to headquarters from the flock regarding their association
with the UN, so it might be a in-place initiative to lighten the load so to speak.
Its also a very important intuitive to keep a clean and pure image surrounding
the GB or as they call themselves the Faithful and discrete slave.
The FDSL/GB is after all the direct channel to god.
( God doesn't have the Net yet so he uses the phone in the interim )

The UN was not even mentioned, let alone their charter read at our hall.

It wasn't part of the outline - if it was read by someone it was that speakers choice.

A friend of mine, who's a ministerial servant in a Hungarian congregation meeting in our Hall, sent me the audio recording of the talk. The speaker based his introduction on David Walker's life story.—Awake!, December 8, 1985, page 4.

Our speaker quoted a sentence or 2 from the charter - reading the whole thing would have taken forever!
I don't see what the big deal is. Lots of talks have quotes from "worldly" sources.

i was wondering how they got the charter from the un in the first place...if because they were/ are members it was sent to them?? and why the special talk??? why not a regular watchtower meeting,,,,and if special talks are all the same,,,how come all the congregations did read it?? to me that is highly irregular...just my thoughts...
