JWs At The "NGO" Fair!
Previously, Dogpatch (Randy) had requested some further checking into
the 2003 Georgia NGO listing of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
In typing in the (date) of 2003, I didn’t find to much more on the (Georgia)
information than what had already been posted. But the (date) 2003 did
bring up this little bit of information. A NGO "Fair" was held from November
20-23, and Jehovah’s Witnesses were there.
There is (no) claim here of U.N. collaboration or scandal, and I only posted in this
section because it is NGO related. however, it is quite interesting how Jehovah’s
Witnesses (admit) their (scrambling) to be part of an NGO Fair to promote their
literature. Perhaps the term (be no part of the world), is a forgotten doctrine.
Perhaps that rule was forgotten just as 1914 seems to now be a joke as well.
It appears that Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t care who they collaborate with, as long
as it results in the promotion of their literature.
The Watchtower/2005/April/15th/Page-8/ states quote:
*********************************************************
God has opened the way to help satisfy that need. One day in November
2003, the Macedonian office of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Skopje received an
unexpected phone call.
It was from the (Macedonian Center for International
Cooperation), (inviting) the Witnesses to (set up a booth) to explain their
beliefs at a three-day (fair) that was to start on November 20. What a grand
opportunity to reach thousands of people who had never heard the Kingdom
good news!
Volunteers (scrambled) to prepare and set up (a display) of various publications
of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Macedonian language. Samples of this literature
were laid out so that visitors could (take copies) if they so desired. The display
gave many the opportunity to get refreshing spiritual water free.
*********************************************************
The "Fair" that the Watchtower article above speaks about, was a NGO Fair
that was held from November 20-23.
ECMI Regional NGO Resource Centers from Skopje, Tetovo, Gostivar, Bitola,
Kumanovo, and Shtip participated with their exhibition stands at the (NGO Fair)
organized by Macedonian for International Cooperation (MCIC) together with the
Foundation Open Society Institute-Macedonia (FOCIM) and the Institute for
Sustainable Communities (ISC), November 20-22.
(Find above statement on page 5 here:
http://www.ecmi.de/download/newsletter_no31.pdf ).
So it was actually an (NGO) Fair that was being help at the Macedonian Center
for International Cooperation, and the Watchtower tells us, that the Jehovah’s
Witnesses (scrambled) to be a part of it and set up their display!
Pictures of the NGO Fair can be seen here. Count (7) pictures down, and that
will give you the date of November 20-22.
