Thank you for your comments and all comments of other members who wrote about the same matter for many years in the past and attracted my attention.
Gorbatchov: "This is not new"
I didnt want to write the most boring thread about the U.N. of the decade at all ;-), but I think the case has never been worked up by the GB committees, the GB in fact kept silent. And would it not be fine to have a overview about the countries in which JW work in the field of freedom of belief? Can you name 5 countries where this has happened in the last years. Turkey, Korea, Egypt, Ukraine, Russia......? If I find more time I would like to compile a chart, because we get no info of the GB where the religion fights for fundamental freedoms as if that would be shame. Should not we as aggrieved parties be better informed and be able to speak about these efforts publicly too like the WT-attorney speak publicly?
" the warm relationship is a long relationship, since +/- the year 2000."
Im not sure if the relationship between U.N. HQ and WT HQ on human rights issues has not already begun many years before 2000, because there was a rumor about GB president XY possessing a UN-passport. We remember the publications about the U.N. in the Awake magazine in the 80s an 90s like the positive coverage about the OSCE nowadays. This would be a good sign that the GB always had a heart for humanity but that they sadly were not in the position to work up the matter correctly.
"At the, critical other hand, the Society has to be transparant about it."
As you see I uploaded my thread in the section "practices, belief, doctrine" and not "coverups, scandals" because I protest against
practice of duplicity and triplicity that is now at work. And I protest also against the
doctrine as well, the doctrine of equalisation of any U.N. department with a "scarled coloured wild beast" or the "disgusting thing".So I think that the case is not worked up at all and a solution has to be looked for immediately.
"All those hidden semi political connections do not mach with theology and doctrine of our sect."
That is on point I want to empasize later. Is U.N. cooperation realy a "semi political connection"? This is certainly the most interesting theological question. Where is the beginning of "politics" and what is the duty of a citizen.If the U.N. had the same authority like a government, I would rather see no "political" connection, because JW dont promote a political party but only give "imparital" information about human rights. As JW have no political party how could they have inter-politicas connection to the U.N. Here a clear explanation or standpoint of the GB would help indeed.
Vidiot "The WTS "knows a guy who knows a guy"... who happens to be the Wild Beast."
My opinion is that the biblical parables only deal with the bad forces in the world in general and therefore do not give precise names or identify the world empires in the image of Daniels' statue and there have been seen various interpretations in the past.Identifiying a certain world empire with a "wild beast" of a parable is biblicistic misinterpretation. After all each government has a responsibilty and authority a minister for the humankind deviated from higher "divine" principles, how could than the whole government or the whole inter-government U.N.O. be a monster, as if there would not be the good any more in the world?
What are human rights ?
berrygerry: What are human rights Rights of an institution (a WTS corp. or subsidiary)? Or rights of a "human?DATA -Dog What will be the priority, the WTBTS's ego, or human rights?
You gain the right if you campain for something loud enough, dont you?
