Why is "Jehovah's organisation" so friendly with the "disgusting thing causing desolation" that is "full of blasphemous names"?

The Watch Tower Society claims the United Nations Organisation is the "image of the beast" in Revelation chapter 13:14-15 and the "scarlet coloured wild beast" in Revelation chapter 171. They also identify it as the "disgusting thing causing desolation" in the Bible books of Daniel and Matthew2.

"As God views it, the United Nations is a colossal world conspiracy. Why?...it calls upon the peoples of all nations to support it in establishing worldwide security by man's efforts...It thus proves itself to be a conspiracy against the 'Prince of Peace' and against Jehovah's covenent with him...The conspiracy will be shattered to pieces..."3

According to the Society the UN, described in Revelation 13:16-18 as the "image of the wild beast", forces all persons to worship the "wild beast" and be identified as Gods enemies by a special mark in their right hand or upon their forehead. This is the mark of the beast, the number of the beast or the number of its name. Assisting the "image of the wild beast" would be working against the interests of Christ and His Kingdom.

Is it not surprising then, to learn that the Watch Tower Society was an official UN Non Government Organisation supporting the objectives of the UN?4

What is expected of these NGOs?
The NGO portion of the United Nations web site states: "Since the founding days of the United Nations in San Francisco, NGOs have made valuable contributions to the international community by drawing attention to issues, suggesting ideas and programmes, disseminating information and mobilizing public opinion in support of the UN and its Specialized Agencies. Association with DPI constitutes a commitment to that effect.5

So, in private the Watch Tower Society has made a commitment to disseminate information and mobilize public opinion in support of the United Nations. But in public claiming that it is under Satanic control - a "disgusting thing" responsible for identifying people as Gods enemies by marking them with the "mark of the wild beast"; marking them for death at armageddon.

Why was "Jehovah's organisation" secretly assisting Gods enemies in their work?

Update: The Watch Tower Society Disassociates from the United Nations
Following much comment on the internet, such as this report at the Guardian Newspaper, and a review by the United Nations, the Society terminated its relationship to the United Nations effective October 2001. According to an official fax6 from the United Nations, the Society was an NGO since 1991. Why would they terminate their ten year relationship so suddenly? Could it be that they realised how damaging this is now that it is public knowledge? If they are prepared to have a secret ten year relationship with satan's organisation, what others do they have that we don't know about?
