G'day all,
The Subject title is found in bold type on the back page of the May 15 Watchtower.
Page 32 is usually directed to the public. So, in this issue, the public are being informed that freedom of expression in the United States owes much to the early Jehovah's Witnesses who were not afraid to stand up for freedom, and were persecuted as a result.
Interested persons should be aware that the organisation of JWs has championed freedom for itself as a corporate body. This is quite different to the position of the individual within the JWs organisation.
It seems the Watchtower is claiming some sort of imprimatur or approval from the U.S. Supreme Court, since alongside the invitation; "Would You Welcome a Visit?" (i.e. from JWs) is a picture of the nine justices of the Supreme Court.
Subtle, eh? Do the words 'half-truths' and 'distortions' come to mind?
Cheers,
Ozzie (of the truth in advertising class)
