    Metatron,

    can you find out when was the last time the WT mentioned the UN as the seven headed beast mentioned in the bible?

    If you have the WT CD, can you that search?

    More important than finding out about the WT "association" with the UN is finding clarifying details about the whole thing, such as you found in recent awake, good!

    Really, a good researcher can write a "litle" book about the whole thing and become internationally famous

    To any serious researchers on this board, Aid Afrique might be a useful starting point to uncover some snakes under the rocks.

    "Female Genital Mutilation"... not meaning to hijack a thread, but are they STILL talking about that?! I remember a article about that YEARS ago in the Awake. LOL! They do run out of topics and tend to repeat themselves, don't they? Or maybe they just like talking about genitals.

    Frenchbabyface-

    If they do street work in your area, you could get one that way. Or just walk into a KH where you are not known, browse around the lit counter, act like a stranger interested in the magazines - then just request that issue if it is there.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the rank & file were being conditioned to accept the UN and remove the "wild beast" concept.

    So many JWs are still waiting for the UN to attack religion, and it ain't goin' that way. WTS knows this and is sliding away from another ridiculous doctrine.

    I say they are STILL trying to curry favor with the UN by printing a single Awake that they can hold up as evidence that their old cozy relationship still holds - even though they can't 'sign off' on it.

    Or.... Suppose they wrote this article filled with praise of the UN and its programs to offset the 1990's articles that serve to "prove" that they were in bed with the UN during their NGO days? This is a common PR move, most often seen in political and government circles, known as "disinformation."

    WTS: "No, we weren't in bed with the UN back then."

    Dub: "But what about these old articles containing glowing praise of the UN and its works?"

    WTS: "Oh, that's not unusual. Just look for example at this recent Awake, published long after we disassociated ourselves from the UN once it was brought to our attention that the criteria had changed. God's organization is just. We condemn Satan's system, but when worldly institutions do something good, we always recognize and applaud it."

    Dub: "Oh, so those articles back in the 90's, they were just... information! Now I understand. How I hate those filthy apostates and their lies, the way they twist your fair and balanced reporting of world events!"

    I mean, these guys will believe anything. I know I did.
