As http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/92005/reply.ashx (read in full) says, yes, the main Watchtower corporate entity may have cut the ties FORMALLY while another of its corporate tentacles continues the UN ties FORMALLY (or even informally) as an NGO more on the quiet. It is also definitely possible to associate INFORMALLY rather than openly, formally do so. Wait till JW members find out what's still going on!
Think about it like this. During the 10 years that the Watchtower corporate mother had her formal NGO status with the UN, there were many personal ties developed between the Watchtower reps and UN staff. Did submitting a piece of paper suddenly end all the friendships? WHAT does our sense of reasoning tell us about this?
Also, Watchtower NGO-UN ties, whether FORMAL or INFORMAL, and whether between the main Watchtower legal entity or one of its SISTER corporations and the UN, still bring major financial benefits to the Watchtower as a whole. Why would Mother end all ties when its so easy to pretend to do so and yet get to keep the money?
If somebody asks "what" money is there from an affair with the UN, then they aren't well-informed. For example in some African nations the U.N. has provided lots of assistance to the Watchtower Society or JWs in general such as housing that would otherwise cost Watchtower lots of money. And that's just one example. This has gone on for years.
Why would Teddy Jaracz "the boss" end things completely, then, when as the number one many so many years at head of Watchtower security ("Service" department branch) he was so used to using "theocratic warfare" to fool WT "enemies"? Who cares what JWs in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Europe think when it can still go on - that's the kind of reasoning he finds so convenient.
When picketing the kingdom halls over the hiding of child molesters, let's not forget the UN affair. They make the elders preach against the U.N. in the kingdom halls but in the back alleys of New York there's way too much business as usual!
