  The Watchtower religion is based on Abraham, is it not? Islam, Juadism, and Christianity is all based on Abraham. Abraham comes from the root word "Brahamin" and Brahamin is a Hindu priest. Could this have some connection to sacred cows and the sacrifice of cows and the reverence to the golden calf?

  The christian and Jewish religion teaches that in the end times the Temple of Solomon will be rebuilt. There is supposed to be a cow sacrifice on the altar. The christians believe this will be the "abomination of desolation" because Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. Does the Watchtower religion believe this too?

  Here is some recent information about the special cow sacrifice. Now they need what amounts to a child sacrifice; children to be raised in isolation for 13 years in order to compete for the honor of being the rabbinical priest to handle the sacred cow. Please tell me what you all make of this???

  Late last week, on the eve of the Shabbat in week the Torah portion Hukkat is read, in which the red heifer is mentioned, it became clear that the people associated with the Temple Institute, who for 25 years have been researching the Temple and its rituals, creating vessels for future use in the Temple and maintaining contact with scientists and research institutes worldwide, believe they have cracked the genetic code that will make it possible to clone a red heifer.…

  …[A]ccording to halakha the red heifer can only be handled by priests who themselves are in a state of purity.
  
  Because there are no ashes of a red heifer with which to purify priests, the only solution would be to find priestly families who are willing to give up their children immediately after their birth for a special mission: to have them raised and prepared in conditions of isolation and purity for at least 13 years, so that they can handle the next red heifer, if and when it returns.…

  If Watchtower religion is also based on Abraham, doesn't that mean that it believes in the ancient sacred cow, too?

  Well, late me take this one on.

  The Watchtower does not really claim to be based on Abraham, they just say Abraham was one of the forefathers of Jesus.

  They do not have any use whatsoever for sacred cows, animal sacrifices, or such ideas. They usually assign "disgusting thing standing in a holy place" with present day political or religious organizations like the U.N. or all the other churches except themselves.

  They are already crazy enough without the child priests and the red heifer.
