  pharrell partners with un for 'international day of happiness'.

  still riding the success of his global hit "happy," is partnering with the united nations foundation to celebrate international day of happiness on march 20th.

  established in 2012 by the united nations general assembly, the day acknowledges that "the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal" and recognizes "the need for a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness and the well-being of all peoples," according to the resolution.. pharrell williams gets 'happy' on 'despicable me 2' soundtrack - song premiere.

  The Watchtower IS currently part of the UNITED NATIONS as an NGO member of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe) which follows the UN CHARTER.
  

  THREE  Watchtower Branches attended the "Review Conference in WARSAW  September 30 - October 8, 2010". They are listed as NGOs on Page 2, 10, and 23. They are listed as:

  1. Administrative Center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia ( second on page 2)
     
  2. European Association of Jehovah Christian Witnesses, United Kingdom (second on page 10)
  3. Counsel General for Jehovah's Witnesses, Patterson, NY USA (8th on page 23)

  You can see the complete list here:
  

  http://www.osce.org/home/72039?download=true

  During the Istanbul Summit in 1999, the OSCE stated their full allegiance to the UN Charter, you can see that statement here:
  

  http://www.osce.org/mc/17502?download=true
  

  This statement is found in the OSCE Charter, which was adopted during the Istanbul Summit in 1999, it is on page 4:

            "  II.  OUR COMMON FOUNDATIONS

                  7. We reaffirm our full adherence to the Charter of the United Nations... We reaffirm the OSCE as a regional arrangement under Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations..." 

  It is clear that the OSCE follows the UN Charter. That makes Watchtower, an NGO member of the OSCE,  part of the UN.

  As many here may know, JWs have been all but been banned in Russia. The Watchtower continued to make submissions to the United Nations Human Rights Committee as recently as 2013 and 2014. This shows they are presently NGOs members within the OSCE.

  Here is a link to a submission they presented to UN Human Rights in 2013:

  http://www2.ohchr.org/English/bodies/hrc/docs/NGOs/EAJCWitnesses_Ukraine_HRC108.pdf

  Starting on page 11 of that submission to the UN Human Rights Committee, you can see the destruction of KH's and other violence toward JWs in Ukraine.

  Albeit Watchtower is a hypocrite, I strongly believe in freedom of religion, freedom of speech and all human rights inherent to us as humans.
  

  So this video, hmmm...perhaps a way to show their allegiance to the UN in a very 'Faithful and Discreet' way?

  Is Jehova's Trumpet for real?

  because regardless of having seen a lot of bad things, if true, some of the things i read there have reached new thresholds of bs.

  who are these people?

  i posted some comments there because i was sincerely confused as to the nature of their article.. http://jehovahstrumpet.com/brother-survives-nazi-persecution-disfellowshiped-for-smoking/.

  JT is really the Brass Eye of the anti JW world.

  Satire so ridiculous yet it could be true.

  Sadly I know a JW, Brother Sanctimonious. He continually bashes a family of JWs who's daughter had a court-ordered blood transfusion in the 80's. The child survived and is now an adult. Brother Sanctimonious would periodically ask if the child had developed any blood-born disease and would makes reference to parents who's children died 'faithful' to Jehovah. Disdain for these parents by Brother Sanctimonious was infectious and other members of the congregation showed contempt toward them as well, to the point where the family moved away.
  

  I have met other JW's who display similar self righteous attitudes as Brother Sanctimonious.

  Yes, JT is satire, based on the ridiculousness of real JW's.

  "Conjoined Twin Shuns Brother" was hilarious!

  I also got a laugh with this suggestion from "Dangers of Superstition". When disposing of demon infested objects the suggestion was to "Bury it in a church’s back lot. They won’t notice one more demon anyway."

  I was curious about the other article listed and read a couple. Then I read the one the OP is about. This article made me cry, get physically sick and angry all at the same time!
  

  http://jehovahstrumpet.com/family-mourns-because-newborn-lives/

  I was physically sick for over an hour. I am still shaking! This is pure evil!  I am glad in a way I found this website. If anything,  it reinforces I made the right choice in leaving the org!

  Sick! sick! sick!

  Has anyone else seen that website?

  *** km 9/74 p. 8 question box ***as jehovahs servants we.....................do not want to give others the impression that the tetragrammaton is the symbol of jehovahs witnesses as a whole.

  we have no organizational symbol to identify ourselves but show that we are jehovahs christian witnesses by living in harmony with gods will.john 13:35.. don't you just love those "old" lights?.

  Thanks Splash!

  I was trying to find the complete quote from that KM. I found it on Facebook. A JW trying to inform others using that KM how JW dot Org merchandise is inappropriate. He was met with resistance. Interesting.

  How about this one. Notice every detail, every strand of hair, even the ripples in the water droplet are one and the same!

  "An unfortunate example appears in the book You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth. This was released when I was a teenage boy, and I fondly remember the picture on page 93. The woman was so beautiful that I could clearly understand the temptation that the angels must have felt whilst looking down upon the earth. What I did not know at the time was that this woman was a real person, Pascale Petit, who appeared in Playboy November 1963 and some raunchy movies, such as the European sex comedy Frau Wirtin hat auch einen Grafen. The inclusion of this picture in the Live Forever book was a potential copyright infringement, as the image of Pascale Petit was taken directly from the cover of the 13th August 1961 German magazine Stern."

  Jeffro,

  But it is odd that an organisation that claims to be 'politically neutral' and 'no part of the world' is involved with the OSCE.

  IMHO there is nothing wrong in being an NGO or with joining the UN and OSCE in any capacity. Fighting for Human Rights, peace, etc., is commendable.  However being a hypocrite is despicable and WTBTS is just that.

  Hi, I just came across this thread and remembered an old thread from a few years back "How do I email the Society?" Although its old, perhaps the contacts Barbara Anderson listed are still up to date. 

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/164920/how-do-email-society?page=1

  I also have a couple of email addresses I found on documents submitted to the UN by the ORG (regarding Human Rights Violations)
  

  It lists a phone number in NY and Phillip Brumley as the contact. Who is Brumley? His name sounds familiar. Anyone heard of him?

  The contact information is for the EAJCW (European Association of Jehovah's Witnesses)

  Address in Belgium:  Rue d'Argile 60, 1950 Kraainem,

  tel + + 32-2-782 00 15

  fax + + 32-2-782 08 11

  email: jwitnesses.be[email protected]

  Contact for New York: Phillip Brumley, General Counsel for Jehovah's Witnesses

  Ph: + + 845-306-0711
  

  This is the link:
