    I thought some of you might find this interesting. I was looking in a dictionary today and passed the word "Jehovah's Witness" and found the definition quite interesting. (The dictionary is "Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary" tenth edition.)

    It states that the beliefs include "...the sinfulness of organized religion and governments."

    What about the organized religion of Jehovah's Witnesses with all its' stupid rules and regulations? How come the people who made the dictionary didn't word it differently? Makes me wonder if they were scratching their heads at the irony of that definition.

    It's even referred to as 'God's ORGANIZATION. But, to me the expression THE SOCIETY sounds a little cultish and secretive!
