I don't care what story the Watchtower has been spewing out for 100 years; I think the reason they are so anti non-combatant and so on is because they like the 'persecution' <gag, choke, vomit> that they get from being so extreme about it.
Case in point...they probably don't condone/approve murder or rape because they are so quick to point out when everybody else does it.
But how often do you hear about the concientous objectors, say,for instance, in Greece? (my info may not be up to date)Yes, there are 600 of them in jail, and yes, 300 of them are Jehovah's Witnersses---but 300 of them aren't!!! And you read this HOW MANY TIMES in the Watchtower literature.
They NEED people to die of lack of blood transfusions; they NEED Malawians to be raped, beaten and murdered; heck, they NEED the pedophile scandal; nobody would know they even EXISTED!!! They absoultely are the most invisible peopel on the face of this earth.
'Beacon of light my ***' I can't believe I used to be this pathetic.
I'm almost serious...
In 1975 a crack team of publishers was sentenced to death by a judicial commiteee. They promptly escaped from the cult and now live life on the run. If you have a problem ... and if you can find them ... maybe you can contact the A--postate Team"
