The Watchtower governing body labels the UNO, the "disgusting thing that causes desolation", "the wild beast" WT Jan 15, 77. p 44. . Nevertheless they attached themselves to the UN in association with the DPI as an NGO.
For 10 years they accepted and endorsed the general objectives and principles of the UN; they committed themselves to publish UN propaganda in their magazines. However should their followers link with an organization such as YMCA, they can expect the most severe punishment, even be disfellowshiped, and be cut off from their families and life long friends. They would be shunned for the rest of their lives.
This was very hypocritical; scandalous. They were hiding their UN affiliation from the RF for 10 years.
