It would seem that the UN will be centerpiece in the coming order. There have been a number of stories about '501C3' churches in the US. (government + church organization / tax related structures) ... and church institutions coupling with the UN for 'ecumenical' councils. --------- The WTBS as we all know became an NGO in the late 90's, supposedly for access to the library, which they quickly retracted from. What is the long-term cause/effect of this scenario? The WTBS will never couple with the UN, not out of loyalty to Jehovah (IMO), but because they fear it becoming common-knowledge to Witnesses. Ensuring that there will be some sort of conflagration in the future between the organization and whatever 'church controlling' system comes out from the UN / US.
