Source for the Claim: “The REPORT” Book (1994) Exposed the "Unfaithfulness" Of The Watchtower Society's Toward The United Nations Organization ... First!
The statement that “The October 1994 publication of "The REPORT" written by Donald C. Burney was the first to expose this shift…” and even place this book in many book stores in the southeastern USA, is well-grounded in the historical timeline of events among copyrighted, documented publications:
1. “The REPORT” (1994) — Primary Source
Authored and published by Donald C. Burney, "The REPORT" Book was a prophetic exposé that:
Criticized the Watchtower Society’s shifting tone toward the United Nations, using the September 8th, 1991 Awake! Magazine.
Highlighted the September 8, 1991 Awake! magazine, which praised the UN as a “dispenser of peace and security” — a stark departure from decades of condemnation.
"The Report" Book was the first to warn this shift signaled a compromise of spiritual neutrality and a departure from Jehovah’s standards.
2. UN NGO Affiliation Becomes Public (2001)
In October 2001, the Guardian newspaper (UK) published an article revealing that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society had been an NGO affiliated with the UN’s Department of Public Information (DPI) since 1991.
This revelation shocked many Jehovah’s Witnesses and ex-members, as it contradicted the organization’s long-standing denunciation of the UN as the “wild beast” of Revelation 13th and 17th chapters.
3. Timeline Confirms the Claim
"The REPORT" Book was published in 1994, seven years before the UN affiliation became widely known.
This makes it the earliest known public documentation warning of the Watchtower’s softening stance and potential compromise — a prophetic insight that was later vindicated by secular evidence.
Conclusion
The source for the claim is the publication itself — "The REPORT" Book (1994) — and its documented content. Its early identification of the Watchtower’s shift toward the UN, exactly seven (7) years to the month, before the UK Guardian's Newspaper October 2001 Public Exposure, is what makes this conclusion both startling and historically significant.
