Yes, they are on the list - its unbelievable - the criteria is detailed on the UN web page and is as follows:-
---------------------------------------------------
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.
"What is the procedure for NGOs to become associated with DPI"?
An NGO that meets the established criteria should send an official letter from its headquarters to the Chief of the NGO Section, Department of Public Information, expressing interest in association with DPI. The letter should state the reasons why the organization seeks such association and should briefly describe its information programmes. This letter should be accompanied by at least six samples of recent information materials produced by the applying organization. Letters of reference from UN Departments, UN Programmes and Specialized Agencies, and/or UN Information Centres and Services (UNICs and UNISs) will greatly enhance consideration of the application.

Does the sin stack any higher?

Jim,
The first database list you went into are the NGO's that ONLY have status with the Econmic and Social Council.
Watchtower is different. It is an "asociate" with the UN's Department of Public Relations. It does not have any status with ESC.
The Watchtower is in the database of all NGO's that associate with the United Nations as shown above.
Hope this helps clarify the issue.

What are the Criteria for NGOs to become associated with DPI?"
Organizations eligible for association with DPI are those which:
a.) Share the ideals of the UN Charter;
I guess it depends on your definition of "ideals".. I wonder if they learned from Clinton, or if Clinton learned from them.. Oh, nevermind, Clinton is much younger and less experienced.. I guess Clinton learned from them :-)
b.) Operate solely on a not-for-profit basis;
I think this is true?
c.) 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;
They have a demonstrated interest in UN issues.. They think that everything the UN does is a signal of the "end coming".. That's a demonstrated interest, no?
d.) 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.
See c above... If the 'end is coming' we better tell you about it... We have a committment to tell you about it!!! After all, how can we make a 'non-profit' if we don't publish it, and tell you about it :-)
For anyone who hasn't seen the list the links on the tis thread are very good. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York is clearly listed among other friends including FRIENDS OF THE UNITED NATIONS.
See other religious type affiliations:
AMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS
ANGLICAN CONSULTATIVE COUNCIL
AMERICAN BAPTIST CHURCHES-USA NATIONAL MINISTRIES
CATHOLIC INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION OFFICE
CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES
GREEK ORTHODOX ARCHDIOCESE OF AMERICA
UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, GENERAL BOARD OF CHURCH AND SOCIETY
There's no escaping the fact that the WTS has joined up in league with other religious groups not matter what their excuse. If, subsequently, they get the boot and claim "persecution" it will have to be done in the KHs only as to claim in print is likely to cause more trouble for them. I don't think the members are going to buy into persecution when it will have been self-induced.
