I can't give you the exact quote from the Society's literature
but Rutherford felt that deception and lying were OK in defense
of the organization. He quoted the example of Rahab lying to
the guys looking for Israelite spies in Jericho as justification.
This creates the odd situation that, in effect, the Watchtower
is deliberately imitating a whore(???!!).While some might feel that this doctrine belongs to the distant
past, I assert that the Watchtower clearly practises it - and they
have never repudiated Rutherford's 'Theocratic War Strategy'.If they want credibility - and to stop reporters from looking at
the Watchtower Society as a pack of liars, the ball is in their court.
They must disavow any doctrine that encourages lying and deception
of authorities.metatron
