I sent this email off to a favourite cousin of mine. I kept it short and sweet for him (though I DID use an unknown email address for now)
Consider this a message from a concerned friend. While I have no doubts that you will ignore this, perhaps it will give you at least one example that you don't know everything.
In light of what you believe about the United Nations
"*** re 241-2 33 Judging the Infamous Harlot ***(published in 1988)
17 In what way is this symbolic wild beast full of blasphemous names?
In that men have set up this multinational idol as a substitute for God’s Kingdom—to accomplish what God says his Kingdom alone can accomplish. (Daniel 2:44; Matthew 12:18, 21)
What is remarkable about John’s vision, though, is that Babylon the Great is riding the scarlet-colored wild beast. True to the prophecy, Babylonish religion, particularly in Christendom, has linked itself with the League of Nations and its successor. "
Why is the Watchtower a registered NGO??
What is an NGO? This is taken from the UN Web page.
"What is an NGO?
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is any non-profit, voluntary citizens' group which is organized on a local, national or international level. Task-oriented and driven by people with a common interest, NGOs perform a variety of services and humanitarian functions, bring citizens' concerns to Governments, monitor policies and encourage political participation at the community level. They provide analysis and expertise, serve as early warning mechanisms and help monitor and implement international agreements. Some are organized around specific issues, such as human rights, the environment or health. Their relationship with offices and agencies of the United Nations System differs depending on their goals, their venue and their mandate."
What are the responsibilities of an NGO?
"In 1968, the Economic and Social Council, by Resolution 1297 (XLIV) of 27 May, called on DPI to associate NGOs, bearing in mind the letter and spirit of its Resolution 1296 (XLIV) of 23 May 1968, which stated that an NGO "...shall undertake to SUPPORT the work of the United Nations and to PROMOTE knowledge of its PRINCIPLES and activities, in accordance with its own aims and purposes and the nature and scope of its competence and activities".
"What are the Criteria for NGOs to become associated with DPI?"
Organizations eligible for association with DPI are those which:
SHARE THE IDEALS OF THE UN CHARTER;
Operate solely on a not-for-profit basis;
Have a demonstrated interest in United Nations issues and proven ability to reach large or specialized audiences, such as educators, media representatives, policy makers and the business community;
Have the commitment and means to conduct effective information programmes about UN activities by publishing newsletters, bulletins, and pamphlets; organizing conferences, seminars and round tables; and enlisting the cooperation of the media."
Why are your leaders actively aligning themselves with this demonic organization? Why have they not told you that they've been members since 1991?? What ELSE don't you know about them? How can you, an educated person, accept an organization that FORBIDS you, a grown adult, to read critical views??
Finally, I'm sure you'd like some proof that what I'm saying is true. This is the direct link to the UN site that displays it's NGO's. Look near the bottom under the W's. I'm sure you'll see a familiar name.

Don't take my word for it.
ASK YOUR ELDERS..... if they even know
