  Wtbts was an NGO w/ UN, what about the other Harlots?

  I was driving down the road today and was running the scenarios of JW folklore and how it is wrong, wrong, wrong!
  For some reason I drift over to the UN WTBTS NGO ( I know right? lol) relationship and how the WTBTS says that it was only to have library access, right.
  
  I began to wonder about the other NGO (Non Government Organization) that have signed up with the UN over the years and particularly which ones might be holding the reigns of the Wild Beast (UN) specifically.
  
  The way that I see it if the WTBTS can demonize the other religious organizations by referring to them as the Harlot that rides or controls the Wild Beast then I thought I would look into the Harlots credentials with the UN.
  It looks like the WTBTS had good company when it comes to being a NGO as there seems to be Harlots galore. Or do you think that that ALL wanted Library cards?
  I came up with this link:

  What it boils down to is, the WT is no better than the other Harlot Jockeys that it wants to denigrate.

  There is nothing intrinsically or biblically wrong with a religious organization being an NGO affiliate with the UN. The problem is that the WTS teaches that the UN is the "image of the wild beast" and is of Satan, then nonetheless decided to become affiliated with it for its own selfish reasons. None of the other religious organizations you listed proclaim such a teaching about the UN, therefore they are not acting hypocritically in aligning themselves with it. Only the JWs brand themselves as hypocrites by their actions.

  It's as if you went around every day telling people that hamburgers are of the devil and Christians should have nothing to do with hamburgers, then one day, we found you at McDonald's scarfing down Quarter Pounders. The rest of us don't believe that there is anything wrong with eating hamburgers, so we are not acting hypocritically by eating at McDonald's - only you are, since it is your own proclaimed standard that you are violating.

  I was thinking of how the WTBTS say the Harlot is riding the Wild Beast, as it were. (lol) I wonder exactly HOW the Harlot interacts with the Wild Beast?

  Is there some other way that they interact OTHER than being a NGO? I mean that this would seem to be THE way to share their concerns with them.

  Is there some other level of communication between them that is stronger than being a NGO?

  WTBTS, you signed up with the UN and agreed to abide by their principles, you took the reins of the Wild Beast as you refer to the UN and all for a Library Card, really? I don't thinks this makes too much sense. Does the Un have some books that are not available elsewhere? I mean, your in New York, right?

  All they had to do was apply for a day pass, or put in a request at a Repository Library. Every excuse any JW will give you will not stand up to scrutiny and cannot be supported with the appropriate paperwork.

  Yeah,

  I remember reading somewhere the letters back and forth from the London Bethel rep and the reporter from the Uk Gaurdian ( I believe it was) and how he busted the bethels reps balls when he caught him lying about the library card excuse.

  Why would the WTBTS become a UN NGO?

  Look for documents produced and activities undertaken during the 1991-2002 period. For example:

  PDF]

  In re Holocaust Victim Assets Litigation :

  www.swissbankclaims.com/pdfs_eng/WatchTowerBible.pdf

  UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. FOR THE EASTERN DSTRICT OF. OF NEW ...Holocaust Victim Assets Litigation (Swiss Bank Litigation). Proposed ... COMES NOW, the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, ( hereinafter ...

  In this instance, the WTBTS legal office submitted a plan to obtain funds from the Swiss sources based on the deaths and sufferings of Jehovah's Witnesses during the Nazi period from 1933 through to the end of WWII (1945). The plan, available as a PDF, describes briefly how funds would be used to educate the public about how JWs suffered at the hands of the Nazis. No provision is made in locating survivors or relatives of the deceased victims. Contrast this plan with a similar plan submitted by a NY Jewish group.

  Acting as an NGO organization gives some leverage for such proposals. And I presume that that is what the organization wanted and obtained. Most likely there are other proposals and NGO activities in the public or not so public record that involve activities other than checking out UN library books.

  There is nothing wrong with government per sec... and/or government bodies working together for peace.

  What is wrong is hypocritically calling the UN the beast and then secretly joining it for advantage.

  Can't blame other religions for supporting something they believe in.

  My daughter works for the segment of the UN that is responsible for aviation safety...and I'm proud of her.

  Edit: Oops...I see NeonMadman already made this point..
