Answer #17

              In 2001, it became known that the Watchtower Society had been a NGO in association with the United Nations for nearly ten years.  Once the news was out, the Governing Body lied and said that they believed that they needed to do this in order to get a Library Card so they would have full access to the United Nations Library facilities.  Of course, it has been proven that this was not true.  The figurative “kings of the earth” went along with the Governing Body in perpetuating this lie to the brothers even though they were of the true facts.  Yes, even though they knew the Governing Body was lying, they still upheld them before the brothers and so committed “fornication right along with them.  And in upholding this “Library Card” lie to the brothers, they made the whole international brotherhood drink the “wine of her fornication causing them to become victims.  These “kings” are now accomplices with Babylon the Great in her apostasy.  They will do so in the future when the King of the North confronts them.  (Daniel 11:32)
