The next principle to consider is: How does the actions of an individual working at the Watchtower Society affect the organization? It doesn’t. The organization is lead by Jesus Christ through the Governing Body. I don’t recall the governing body having a vote on the matter and then publishing the matter to the organization. So… "
Oh, I assume that you are very young. When I grew up in JWs, during the late 70s and the 80s, we were told that the UN was the largest and most ungodly organisations on earth, that it actually was (and I can show you the WT where this is said) the Harlot of the Revelation, or the beast with horns (both things were said). These "pieces of cloth" hanging outside the UN-building, were considered the banners of Satan, when I grew up. But you know, time flies by, I assume you are the "new generation", and you don`t know what the WT-publications said 20 years ago. This doctrine has never changed, though. So, why do YOU think it was such an urgent matter for the WT to dissasociate themselves from the UN when this came out?
And for the people working at WT: I assume that the top ten reads thru every article that is about to be published in the new WT or Awake, and I assume they read every book that is about to be published. They take all the important decisions, as they are the ones that are "guided" by Jehovah in all their actions (I can show you at least 3 old WTs that says explicitly that the WT-organisation is Jehovahs PROPHET on earth!!!!!) Anyway, I`m not sure what you`re saying in your second post. Are you saying that it was Jesus` choice to sign the UN-declaration in 1991? Well, if that`s so, why was Jesus and Jehovah so much against it in all the years BEFORE 1991? Why did they (thru the GB, the organisation and the WT magazine) condemn the UN as the Harlot and the beast of the Revelation, the most ungodly and Satanic of all the worlds ungodly organisations? God and Jesus sat down for a chat, and changed their mind? Why would they do that?
Oh, and by the way, the picture in my profile is from an old WT-magazine (its small, but if you save it to you comp, perhaps you can enlarge it). It is a picture of the Harlot riding the Beast, and it`s number was 666 ...and in the background is the UN-BUILDING!!!!
