I just recently learned of the WT's UN connection. Like many of you here I am shocked.
Does anyone have any WT (or any pub) with statements that spell out the fact that it would be wrong for JW's to be associated with an org like the UN.
Read between the lines and yes you can get there, I'm looking for concrete statements that make association with the UN an issue.

“The UN, then, is actually a revival of the scarlet-colored wild beast.” (Revelation – Its Grand Climax At Hand, pg. 248)“Details supplied in the prophecy help us to identify this symbolic beast as a peace organization that came into existence in 1919 as the League of Nations (a ‘disgusting thing’) and that is now the United Nations.” (The Watchtower, May 1 1999, pg. 17)
“In the major fulfillment of the sign, the disgusting thing is the League of Nations and its successor, the United Nations.” (The Watchtower, March 15 1990, pg. 8)
“From its inception, this body has also had the great harlot riding on its back, visibly associated with it and trying to guide its destiny. For example, on its 20th anniversary, in June 1965, representatives of the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, together with Protestants, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims—said to represent two thousand million of earth’s population—assembled in San Francisco to celebrate their support and admiration of the UN.” (Revelation – Its Grand Climax At Hand, pg. 243)
