No doubt you may be sickened by fawning, prepackaged press releases
about JW's at conventions, that carefully sidestep the reality of
being a Witness.
Maybe you would like to write a letter to the editor? I encourage
you to be very brief and stick to a single, clear subject. Such as:
How do Jehovah's Witnesses view other people?
Jehovah's Witnesses frequently appear at your door for a simple
reason. They believe that, since you have not converted to their
faith, you are wicked and God is going to kill you.(Watchtower 10/15
1958 pg. 614-615).
If you refuse to convert, God will execute your children also
(Is The Bible Really the Word of God pg.95-97)- at Armageddon.
Once you have been executed by God, your body will be eaten
by birds to clean up the earth .(Watchtower 7/1 1967 pg. 408).
In recent years, the Watchtower has tried to hide these horrific
beliefs from the public. Yet, church literature sternly reminds
Witnesses that those "facing annihilation ... include ... relatives,
neighbors, workmates, schoolmates, and acquaintances." Witnesses who
fail to cooperate with this message will be killed by God also. (Our
Kingdom Ministry Sept. 2000 pg. 1).
Having beliefs like these takes a toll. Jehovah's Witnesses are
ordered not to cooperate with researchers who try to conduct
surveys - which risk exposing problems like depression, suicide,
or pedophilia to the outside world. (Our Kingdom Ministry, Jan. 2002
pg. 3).
If you are interested in Jehovah's Witnesses and their work,
you might want to investigate the reality that exists behind
their first appearance. The internet is a good place to start.
