  At this weeks book study (which I attended for the first time in 6 months) the book is "United in worship of the only true God". In paragraph 10 it talks about the United Nation's, and not in any glowing terms either. The paragraph condemns her and anyone who would be a part of her. I take it the book was written by Jehovah before the the U.N debacle was exposed. It will be interesting to see if in later editions of this book, the U.N part is taken out. Hang on to your copies for future reference

  Thanks,

  Integ.

  Jehovah's not a very good writer.

  What the devil? Why are they pulling that old chestnut out? I thought the new Knowledge book was supposed to replace it?

  I think you have made a couple of errors.

  The book currently being studied is 'WORSHIP THE ONLY TRUE GOD'.

  Paragraph 10 reads,

  "Does the historical record show hat any group in the last days has pursued strict neutrality in imitation of the early Christians? Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses have done so. All during this time period, they have kept preaching that God's Kingdom is the only means to bring lasting peace, prosperity, and happiness to lovers of righteousness. (Matthew 24:14) But with regard to controversies among the nations, they have maintained strict neutrality.

  By no means am I a defender of the WT, but facts are facts. Granted, I do not go to any meetings but I am basing my information based on the book that my wife uses for the book study each week.

  Please clarify.

  Perhaps can I be of some help?

  Chapter 20 paragraph 9 reads;

  After World War I, there was a separating of all who claimed to be Christian into two classes: (1) The clergy of Christendom and their followers, who came out in strong support for the League of Nations (now the United Nations) while still holding fast to their national loyalties, and (2) true Christians of that postwar era, who gave their full support to God's Messianic Kingdom, not to the nations of this world. (John 17:16) These proved themselves true servants of God's Kingdom by undertaking the preaching of "this good news of the kingdom" earthwide. (Matthew 24:14) With what results?

  True servants my foot!
