"Were a Witness to accompany their non-JW family at Christmas it would mean for them to become involved in the holiday as well. The WTS didn't become "involved" with the UN, not in any shape, form, or fashion. The WTS merely became a "member," remember?"
YARDIF, so the end justify the means? All the lying, misleading, and death caused by the WT should be OK then if the membership rises...
Take a look at the UN forms the GB signed, and the COMPROMISES they engaged to:

They actually signed this contract and lied to YOU and everyone else about it.
So what about ownership of REGI US? What is your justification to condone profiting from warfare technology? Let me guess... "Yes we sold engines for weapons, but OTHER people used them to kill with. Technically yes, we were owners but we did not really get involved in the war per se, so that makes it allright, especially because Jehovah himself is leading us...so don't question this any further!"
