Jehovah's Witnesses Link To UN Queried by rottennaija(op): 3:02pm On Feb 17, 2020
Despite spending decades condemning the United Nation as the Scarlet Coloured Wild Beast of the book of Revelation, in 1992, the Watchtower became an Associate NGO with the United Nations. As a result, many Jehovah's Witnesses severed ties with the watchtower for what they consider a hypocritical and dishonesty of the religion.

As late as 1991, the Watchtower condemned Christendom for its involvement with the United Nations:

"If Christendom had sought peace with Jehovah's King, Jesus Christ, then she would have avoided the coming flash flood. - Compare Luke 19:42-44.

However, she has not done so. Instead, in her quest for peace and security, she insinuates herself into the favor of the political leaders of the nations this despite the Bible's warning that friendship with the world is enmity with God. (James 4:4) Moreover, in 1919 she strongly advocated the League of Nations as man's best hope for peace. Since 1945 she has put her hope in the United Nations. (Compare Revelation 17:3, 11.) How extensive is her involvement with this organization?

A recent book gives an idea when it states: "No less than twenty-four Catholic organizations are represented at the UN. Several of the world's religious leaders have visited the international organization. Most memorable were the visits of His Holiness Pope Paul VI during the General Assembly in 1965 and of Pope John Paul II in 1979. Many religions have special invocations, prayers, hymns and services for the United Nations. The most important examples are those of the Catholic, the Unitarian-Universalist, the Baptist and the Bahai faiths."" Watchtower 1991 Jun 1 p.17

Janosky, you can here calling my post a lie, I'm asking you where is the lie or what is the lie? Did the Watchtower not join the United Nations for 10 years? Did they not hurriedly resigned when exposed on 2001? Did they no lie about the reason for joining and the reason for resigning?

Please, expose me and show me my chronic lies.
