Did Watchtower absolve themselves from involvement as an NGO with the United Nations?

I came across that WANGO site a few months back. I too wondered if maybe momma was still sleeping around. So, I emailed two different people at WANGO and asked them if the WT was a member of their organization or whether they merely listed the WT as a non-governmental organization without the WT's knowledge. They both replied that it was the latter -- the Watchtower is not a member of WANGO. End of story.

Dear Robert,

I'm not buying it. lol Watchtower's lawyers are far too careful. They would have been on this like flies on sticky paper if it wasn't true. :190:

If they can't go in the front door, the back door will do. Doe the WTS think we are all stupid? Incredible! Interesting that the WT link is down (???) I was thinking of something else that draws flies...
Keep the faith!!

I understand your suspicion. Like I said, when I came across that info a few months ago I suspected the WT was back prostituting itself to the one-worlders. But, I wanted to check it out first before I exposed them. That's why I wrote to 2 different individuals at WANGO. And like I said, they both responded and said the WT was not a member of WANGO, so I dropped it. (Unfortunately because of a recent Windows re-install problem I lost all my old emails, Otherwise I would post them here. But, I seriously doubt that WANGO is lying about the WT's non-membership status.)

Apparently, as part of WANGO's efforts to unite various NGOs and facilitate cooperation between non-governmental orgs, they publish an NGO directory -- sort of like a phone book listing of all NGOs in the world. That does not, however, mean that all the NGOs listed in the directory are members of the WANGO club. I doubt if the WT's lawyers can do anything about having the organization listed in the WANGO directory anyway. Or maybe they can just ask them nice to have their listing removed. Maybe someone should write the WT and ask them to explain their WANGO connection. ;)

Dear Robert,

Their name might be in an NGO directory? Very interesting. :lol: This gets funnier by the minute. Since you are our expert 'letter' writer, I nominate you to write to the WT. :deal:

Do you really think they would answer you????

The thing that confuses people is that by definition the WT is and always will be an NGO. Every organization that is not directly connected to some form of government is considered an NGO, in the strictest sense. (See Wikipedia definition of NGOs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-governmental_organization).) As an NGO that qualified the WT to apply to the UN to be accepted as a working partner with the Department of Information at the UN. That's what got them into trouble -- becoming a UN approved NGO. But, even though the WT dissolved their UN membership they are still an NGO, by definition. That is why WANGO listed them on their NGO directory.

I think it is important to get this straight. We certainly don't want to be the source of rumors and falsely accuse the WT. It is a matter of our credibility.

Watchman,

Where do they list all the other NGO"S if that is the case or is the Watchtower the only one posted because they withdrew and the nefarious UN wants to confuse people?

Dorcas,

I put WTBTS in there last night and at first nothing came up, but after trying Jw's and a few other names, I decided to try it again and it came up as Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of New York. It was there, the only hit that came up.

I dont doubt that any of you found this listing - but lo and behold one day after raising this issue it isn't there - what does that tell you!

Big Brother is watching!!

Remember, Once a "NGO" (Catholic), always a "NGO" (Catholic).

Well, it seems that, "Momma" (WTBTS) now, is paying for her sleeping around, and is now having a hard time getting herself off the list of available prostitutes.

Lol! I can attest to the fact that I found the WT Bible and Tract Society listing yesterday, by simply using the key word watchtower, and Poof! today it is not there. Silly me, I should've taken a screen shot.

Nice to have proof that Bethel monitors this board. :wave:

I cannot see it as well. Tried several searches but nothing

No, the WTS is not there... but if you search for "Jehovah", you'll find a spoof group that apparently someone has added to poke fun at.... someone i guess....

The fact that some XJW prankster registered JWD on the WANGO NGO directory proves that anyone can register anything on the directory. I wouldn't doubt it if an XJW registered the Watchtower. If you want a conspiracy, that's probably it.

I too can no longer find it. I sent off an email to ask about it. I will let you know when I get a response.

Friends,

I just entered "Jehovah" and "Jehovahs Witness Discussion Board "came up. This was not there the other night. And who runs this board? Wouldn't want to be them.

What about this political connection;

http://www.anca.org/action_alerts/actionalerts.php?aaid=16

The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) is the largest and most influential Armenian American grassroots political organization. Working in coordination with a network of offices, chapters and supporters throughout the United States and affiliated organizations around the world, the ANCA actively advances the concerns of the Armenian American community on a broad range of issues.

The main goals of the ANCA are: To foster public awareness in support of a free, united and independent Armenia;
To influence and guide U.S. policy on matters of interest to the Armenian American community;
To represent the collective Armenian American viewpoint on matters of public policy, while serving as liaison between the community and their elected officials.
More political prostitution? I wonder how long before ANCA removes their name from their site?
