  i am pasting this from another thread but afraid it won't get seen so starting a new one.. the wts still associates with the un through offshoot programs ..(as recently as june 08) and had no problem participating in the un birthday back in 2005 i think.....the wts is also still affiliated with the para military organization known as the osce....which under it's previous name was spoken against....... can someone please direct me to where i can print out proof of this?.

  thanks,.

  I don't see how they can justify this. What I really don't understand is how any thinking JW that knows about this can blindly sit by and accept it.

  Thanks to Lonelysheep, Isaacaustin, Betterdaze and Neonmadman for the meetup yesterday. I enjoyed meeting all of you. Lonelysheep, I wish you could have stayed a bit longer. My husband took me to a wonderful Italian restaurant last night that a local recommended called Casa Bella (http://casabella46.com). Sorry I don't know how to make the link work but it was absolutely fabulous. Luciano, the manager, was a delight! You really owe it to yourselves to check it out. Ask to be seated upstairs overlooking the lake, very romantic. Anyway, thanks again!

  i heard from a very reliable source that the wts is going to start having 1-day district conventions at the assembly halls.

  has anyone else heard this?

  a family member was at the assembly hall for a meeting and the brother stated that soon they would be meeting for their 1-day district conventions there..

  Letter regarding the WTS from the UN

  by heybaby in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok, so i keep reading on here how the wts was associated with the un.

  i had never heard anything about this.

  i guess i shouldn't be surprised, since the un is the "beast" and i know the wts would never let the congregations know they were in bed with them.

  oh how i wish i had thought to make a copy of the Society's reply to us (on the BOE) on this issue.

  Snakes, obviously you were an elder at the time...is this what opened your eyes or was it something else? The reason I ask is that I spoke to a couple of elders in my congregation back then about it and wondered if any thinking elder would see this as a huge omise on the WTS part like I did.
