Jehovah’s Witnesses and the United Nations

Current teachingEdit

The flag of the United Nations
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that the United Nations is the “image of the wild beast” referred to in Revelation 13:1-18 and the fulfillment of the “disgusting thing that causes desolation” from Matthew 24:15.[7][8] Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that God will use the United Nations to destroy “false religion”, wherein all institutionalized religions except Jehovah’s Witnesses will be destroyed. They further believe that after all other religions are destroyed, “a coalition of nations” will then turn against Jehovah’s Witnesses to destroy them, but Jehovah will intervene and destroy all political elements.[9] They believe this act of divine intervention will be Armageddon, the final part of the Great Tribulation.[10][11]
In practice, Jehovah’s Witnesses “view the United Nations organization as they do other governmental bodies of the world,” as “superior authorities” that “exist by God’s permission,” based on their interpretation of Romans 13:1-2. They believe “this Scriptural position does not condone any form of disrespect toward governments or their officials,” to which they are to “render due respect,” and they “obey them as long as such obedience does not require that they sin against God.”[8]

History of TeachingEdit

DevelopmentEdit

At a convention of Bible Students held in September 1919, the local press reported J. F. Rutherford’s comments on the League of Nations: “He declared a League of Nations formed by the political and economic forces, moved by a desire to better mankind by establishment of peace and plenty would accomplish great good, and then asserted that the Lord’s displeasure is certain to be visited upon the League, because the clergy–Catholic and Protestant–have abandoned his plan and endorsed the League of Nations, hailing it as the political expression of Christ’s kingdom on earth.”[1] Rutherford’s view was similarly held by other pre-millennialist expositors of that era.[2]
The Bible Student magazine Golden Age referred to the “professional politician” and the “financial powers” and the “clergy” as an “unholy trinity” in support of the League of Nations and predicted its demise: “Since these two classes [politicians and financial] are presumed to be worldly men who never claimed to have made a covenant with God, he might not interfere with them for a time, but chiefly because of the other member of the unholy trinity—the clergy—God indicates that he will not permit the League of Nations and league of churches to endure.”[3] In 1930, Rutherford published the booklet Prohibition and the League of Nations—Born of God or the Devil, Which? The Bible Proof which concluded: “Here is the positive and unqualified statement from Jehovah God that neither the League of Nations nor any other combination of men and governments shall have anything to do with the setting up of his kingdom and establishing peace and righteousness. It is God’s kingdom, and not man’s; and for men to assume to do what God has declared he will do is a gross, presumptuous sin. The nation organization that attempts to run ahead of God and presumptuously attempts to set up a rule or organization and call it God’s kingdom will suffer severe punishment.”[4]
In a speech given on 20 September 1942, Nathan Knorr, the Society’s third president, claimed the newly formed United Nations was the scarlet-colored wild beast of Revelation that would be ridden by the woman “Babylon”, which Knorr identified as “the religious organization with headquarters at Vatican City”.[5]

1963 resolutionEdit

In 1963 Jehovah’s Witnesses adopted a resolution establishing the official view of the United Nations. The resolution was published in the November 15, 1963 issue of Watchtower. At 24 assemblies held throughout the year, a total of 454,977 convention attendees adopted the resolution.[6]
Regarding the United Nations, paragraph 5 of that resolution states, “the nations further refused the surrender of their sovereignty to God’s Messianic kingdom by setting up … the United Nations, … This international organization stands for world sovereignty by political men. For years men without faith in God’s kingdom have endeavored to get all people to worship this international image of human political sovereignty as the best hope for earthly peace and security, in fact, the last hope for humanity. To date 111 nations have given worship to this political image by becoming members of it. However, we, as witnesses of the Sovereign God Jehovah, will continue refusing to engage in such idolatrous worship.”[6]

Sing to Jehovah!​—Ps. 96:1.
Many of the songs from “Sing Out Joyfully” to Jehovah are in the form of a prayer. With these songs, you can express your personal feelings to Jehovah. Other songs will help “to incite [us] to love and fine works.” (Heb. 10:24) Surely we want to become familiar with the melodies, rhythms, and lyrics of our songs. You can do so by listening to the vocal renditions available on jw.org. By practicing the songs at home, you can learn to sing them with confidence and heartfelt expression. Remember that singing is an important feature of our worship. It is a powerful way to show our love and appreciation for Jehovah. (Isa. 12:5) When you sing out joyfully, you will also encourage others to sing with confidence. Indeed, all in the congregation​—young, old, and newly interested ones—​can join in this form of direct worship of Jehovah. So do not hold back in expressing yourself in song. Yes, make a joyful sound! w17.11 7 ¶18-19

An election is a formal group decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office.[1] Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century.[1] Elections may fill offices in the legislature, sometimes in the executive and judiciary, and for regional and local government. This process is also used in many other private and business organizations, from clubs to voluntary associations and corporations.[2]
The universal use of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern representative democracies is in contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens, where the Elections were not used were considered an oligarchic institution and most political offices were filled using sortition, also known as allotment, by which officeholders were chosen by lot.[3]
Electoral reform describes the process of introducing fair electoral systems where they are not in place, or improving the fairness or effectiveness of existing systems. Psephology is the study of results and other statistics relating to elections (especially with a view to predicting future results).
To elect means “to choose or make a decision”, and so sometimes other forms of ballot such as referendums are referred to as elections, especially in the United States.

Violence is “the use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy.”[2] Less conventional definitions are also used, such as the World Health Organization‘s definition of violence as “the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation.”[3]
Globally, violence resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.28 million people in 2013 up from 1.13 million in 1990.[4] Of the deaths in 2013, roughly 842,000 were attributed to self-harm (suicide), 405,000 to interpersonal violence, and 31,000 to collective violence (war) and legal intervention.[4] In Africa, out of every 100,000 people, each year an estimated 60.9 die a violent death.[5] For each single death due to violence, there are dozens of hospitalizations, hundreds of emergency department visits, and thousands of doctors’ appointments.[6] Furthermore, violence often has lifelong consequences for physical and mental health and social functioning and can slow economic and social development.
In 2013, assault by firearm was the leading cause of death due to interpersonal violence, with 180,000 such deaths estimated to have occurred. The same year, assault by sharp object resulted in roughly 114,000 deaths, with a remaining 110,000 deaths from personal violence being attributed to other causes.[4]
Violence in many forms can be preventable. There is a strong relationship between levels of violence and modifiable factors in a country such as concentrated (regional) poverty, income and gender inequality, the harmful use of alcohol, and the absence of safe, stable, and nurturing relationships between children and parents. Strategies addressing the underlying causes of violence can be relatively effective in preventing violence, although mental and physical health and individual responses, personalities, etc. have always been decisive factors in the formation of these behaviors.[7]
