We're wondering whether sometime last month, a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses might have visited the home of Sheik Taj el-Din al-Hilaly, because we've been reading some fascinatingly familiar remarks in a pamphlet headed "The End of False Religion Is Near!'' that was slipped under this column's door recently. You'll recall that the Sheik compared scantily dressed women to pieces of meat left uncovered and at risk of being eaten by cats. Our eye was caught by an illustration on the Jehovah's Witness pamphlet which appears to show a cat eating an uncovered woman. Here's what the pamphlet says: "Picture the scene. A harlot is sitting on the back of a fearsome beast. The beast has seven heads and ten horns (Revelation 17:14) ... False religion straddles the back of this political beast, attempting to influence its decisions and to control its direction ... Soon, though, an amazing event will take place. 'The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.' (Revelation 17:17).'' So Islam is not the only faith to draw on vigorous imagery to expound its message. We welcome your comments Posted by Stay in touch

Wow, so where's the drawing showing this on the tract.
"Picture the scene. A harlot is sitting on the back of a fearsome beast. The beast has seven heads and ten horns (Revelation 17:14) ... False religion straddles the back of this political beast, attempting to influence its decisions and to control its direction ... Soon, though, an amazing event will take place. 'The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.' (Revelation 17:17).''
Actually that's a quote from the Bible itself, not just the tract. So I guess what this crazy Sheiks said is also a verse in the bible.
Here's the actual verse of Revelation 17:16,
Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
So, what's your point? I don't get it.

The point is:this is how the Watchtower's lifesaving message looks to the general population as the comic book nonsense that it really is.

Ok, this is a good point. But this message is actually coming from the bible. The quote in question is an actual verse in the bible.
So shouldn't the point be this: how the 'Bible's lifesaving' message looks to the general population as the comic book nonsense that it really is.
Remember the quote itself came from the bible, that's what I'm trying to say. So the bible should be labeled as the comic book nonsense that you mention it really is.

No arguments here.

No arguments here.
None here either.
Just that the article was blaming the WTS when it should also blame the bible first for having that verse in it. That's were the original quote came from, not the WTS.

I always like how in every WTS illustration of Babylon The Great she's able to hold on to her cocktail. That'a girl!
