"You will see that the JW Org must agree to support the UN."
As soon as the criteria for NGO status changed to the above, quite some years AFTER they had NGO status, they disassociated themselves
as you know full well Kallam, as you'd see if you bothered to read the link that I'd posted. :)

Kallam, one last point old son, registration as a non governmental organisation for library access is hardly the same as
transferance of allegiance to the United Nations is it? :)

nonjwspouse, thatnks, yes I know it often helps to read things oneself, that's why I read these things..............for myself.
Including the UN charter and past Awake and Watchtower articles.

As for bored JW apologist.........no mate, I've never been baptised, I was brought up as a JW until aged 18, quite some time ago
and am now reevaluating the situation. Must say, the more I hear on this particular site, the more inclined I am to feel that they do
in fact have the truth.

to join the ymca a person has agree to support that particular organisation. There IS a difference, at least I can see one.

Kallam, the so called stated ideals of teh UN charter are what? Peace and security for teh Earth and mankind right?
So how is the desire for mankind to live in peace and security at odds with the JW's beliefs???
They only disagree in the sense that they argue that only GOD can bring true peace and security to the Earth

Punkofnice..........Dingly Dell cats homes is an NGO, Rotherham tiddlywinks club is another example of a Non governmental organisation.
The Jw's being another NON governmental organisation doesn't strike me as evidence of their being " self serving liars".
Nothing they did in connection with the UN smacks of hypocracy at all as far as I'm concerned.
Listener, this letter from the JW's is rather more than an assuption.........

also NGO status was not sought purely to gain access to the library, it was to obtain access to other facilities.
Notwithstanding there IS a very important distinction between DPI NGO status and giving support to the UN..........

Well not being privy to the conversation you had with the fellow, I can't really comment. But DPI registration as an NGO to gain library access IS
somewhat different to having membership of the United Nations organisation and supporting it's stated aims, objectives and purposes..........in my
humble opinion..........
