  dis·crim·i·na·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (d
  n.

  1. The act of discriminating.
  2. The ability or power to see or make fine distinctions; discernment.
  3. Treatment or consideration based on class or category rather than individual merit; partiality or prejudice: racial discrimination; discrimination against foreigners.

  The August 22, 1955 AWAKE! (page 9) says,

  "SERIOUS DISCRIMINATION IN TRINIDAD"

  "What is the inherent danger in religious discrimination?The danger is that while it may be another mans religion that is discriminated against today, barriers that guarantee your own freedom are weakening, and your religion may be discriminated against tomarrow. Certainly you would not want that to happen. So the matter of religious liberty is of great importance to you."

  Ahhhh! Lying hypocrits at their best! The WTBTS NEVER discriminate's anothers religion, do they? The fact that they teach every single religion on this planet except theirs will soon be destroyed, isn't discrimination.....is it? Re-read the definition above and see if the WTBTS discriminate or not.

  Good find Gumby. I wonder if Quotes has that one on his site?

  Especially if you are trying to "liberate" youself and your family from the WTBTS !!

  To be accurate, we'd have to admit that we all discriminate each day - we all make choices, and that's what discrimination is.

  The third definition in the list above adds another dimension, that of prejudice, and this is where the WTS do indeed excel!

  They promote prejudice in their members to such a degree that they are able to control the R&F because of this learned set of prejudices.

  Cheers, Ozzie

  Thanks exjw.

  There are many many quotes in which the wtbts 'when defending themselves',.....talk out of both side of their mouth. On one hand they tell the world to have an open mind about religion and to check it out thoroughly.......and on the other hand they tell their own members not to entertain thoughts from anothers false religion.......and if you do entertain them......NEVER except their viewpoints because they are wrong! That's doubletalk.....pure and simple.

  The Watchtower Society's primary aim is that no one discriminate against them. They could care less about anyone else's religion.

  You beat me to it! When you hear the WTS talk about such things... they are revering only to themselves... they don't give a rats a$$ about any other religion. The WTS views all other religions as satanic... how could they possibly "respect" the rights of satan?

  This could also be a justification for the participation of JWs in associations lobbying for "freedom of religion", where they side with representatives of other cults (although the latter are theoretically members of "Babylon the Great"). This has been seen in Europe...

  they side with representatives of other cults

  They side with cults, they side with the U.N. , and they will side with anyone if it will further their intrest and bring them the most gain. It's "milking the nations", it's theocratic warfare, it's whatever works for them.

  The WTS has always taught religous tolerance. Here is part of an article from over 40 years ago.

  1963 11/15 p. 688 Execution of Divine Judgment upon False Religion

  EVERYONE has the right to practice the religion of his choice. This holds true at present, unless a person?s religion proves to be grossly immoral, licentious, shocking the public decency. Everyone should respect the right of everyone else to choose and live his own religion. We must observe religious toleration. 2 Our granting everyone his religious right, our refusing to interfere with each one?s religious practice, does not signify, however, that we approve of his religion or that we approve of all other religions besides our own. Our practicing religious toleration does not mean we believe that all religions are right and beneficial and that all of them lead to an eternal happy future in endless enjoyment of the god that a person worships. Neither does it mean that we recognize that, after all is said and done, still we all worship the one and the same god only under different names or by different ways of approach to him or by means of different religious ceremonies. As one Hindu author recently wrote: "Names of gods do not make religion any more than the names of men and women make up their personality. . . . Whether it be God, Jehovah, Bhagwan, Iswar, Allah, Hari, Siva or Rama, it is the same Being that in vague manner is recalled by every devotee when he utters the name which he has been brought up to associate with the mystery of the universe and idea of worship. But is that true? Do all the names of the different gods have the same history? Do they all suggest to the worshipers one and the same personality?

  It is a sincere belief it has nothing to do with theocratic warfare even though theocratic warfare rocks, it has to do with personal freedom.
