I was going to point two things out about this when I read Robert's article on this portion of that WT. First, they are not even trying anymore. When they can print, "while many in the world were uncertain about what course to take"...that's just the first unbelievably blatant lie, there was no uncertainty of any kind. The whole world did the same thing, there was no uncertainty in the slightest. The fact that they can write this, and basically take credit for the direction that the WHO was giving, which is just the medical arm of the UN, lets get that straight, so the direction came directly from the UN, and then to claim that direction came from Jesus is, well lets call a spade a spade, blasphemous. The reason the UN is so wicked is because their very existence stands in opposition to God's Kingdom, which by definition is "sinning against God's Holy Spirit".
Let's set this straight also, I didn't think the org was being overly cautious, I was at the very beginning in complete shock and dismayed by the WT taking their marching orders from the WHO/UN. Which of course is what led me here, the one good thing to come out of all this.
But like I said, the two things they are lying about, is that anyone "didn't know what course to take" and that Jesus was leading the UN, because that is what they are saying.
They really have lost the plot and they aren't even trying anymore. I think they must feeling pretty confident that most JW's will just believe whatever they say now!
