 French philosopher Blaise Pascal once noted, "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." A case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the Governing Body Of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
The GB present themselves as ‘lovers of Truth and righteousness’ who are the only persons on this planet who speak for God. This doctrine is at the very core of the beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses and is one of the few that cannot be rationalized away by WTS apologists. One either accepts that Christ is exclusively using the ‘Faithful Slave’ ( in actuality the GB ) or one should not even refer to themselves as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses .
Apparently God informs the GB exclusively what the inhabitants of this planet need in the way of spiritual direction, and he does this a little at a time primarily through a magazine that they publish bi-monthly.
The Watchtower, with its cheerful covers in full color……….. is regularly providing lovers of truth and righteousness with their spiritual "measure of food supplies at the proper time."

 Few religious organizations have escaped being tainted by racial prejudice at one time or another. While the Watchtower has not been alone in its preferential treatment of the Caucasian, its history is perhaps a little more interesting and at times amusing in regards to the black man. It is all the more fascinating when you discover how few people really know what the Watchtower has taught regarding racial inferiority.

Abstract
This review of the problem of religious justified lying in court focuses on the Jehovah’s Witnesses and their theocratic war doctrine. The history of the development of this doctrine and the problems of lying in society are reviewed. Also discussed are examples of the use of this doctrine in court and a survey of active and former Witnesses designed to determine the awareness level of this doctrine among the average Witness. It is concluded that the longer someone is a Witness, and the higher the attained rank in the Watchtower, the more likely the person is to understand and to use the doctrine.

A Biblical Overview - God's Response To Evil
Looking over six thousand years of human history, it is clear why some people are agnostic or atheist. "If there is a loving God," they say, "then why does he allow evil?" God's moral character is called into question, and because there seems to be no satisfactory answers, many thinkers have concluded that God, as a personal Being, must not exist; or at least he is not concerned with his creation.

During WWII the Watchtower Society needed paper, ink, and other supplies of which Max Larson (now President of Watchtower) made requests for these goods to the United States "War Production Board." During that war time period in history nearly everything could be used to make weapons of war. Tin cans could be melted down to make bullets, panty-hose were made into parachutes, peanut shells and chicken fat could be made into explosives. |

Late the night of July 23, 1991 a burglary was committed aguinst the Danish branch office of Jehovah's Witnesses in Holbsek, Denmark. The police were told that a considerable amount of money, together with "some documents" had been stolen. Holbaek Amis Venstreblad, the local newspaper, published an extensive story about the burglary. Just an ordinary crime, or so it seemed.

Cults are basically an extended family, an abusive family to be more accurate. In a bad family situation, the mother or father may seek to dominate every aspect of the children's lives - from what they can or cannot question, to what posture and tone of voice they are to have when speaking to their superiors. Punishments may be out of proportion to the mistakes of the children as well, and trust is a stranger.

Did you know that the Vice-President of the Watchtower Society defended a JW for "obscenity" before the US Supreme Court (315 US 568 1941) and tried to get the JW off for "Freedom of Speech"? (the JW lost, of course, because the Supreme Court said Free Speech does not protect "obscenity and fighting words" - and this is as it should be. I am outraged at the Watchtower Society!

The Watchtower of November 1, 1999 came out with an article that has implications considering the recent efforts by the Society to gain acceptance and legal recognition in a number of European countries, some of which insisted that for a religion to be recognized by the state, they must allow their people to vote. While some are touting this as a change of policy, it may simply be words to placate the governments.

Identify the Problem and Gather Facts
Jessica Winters (a pseudonym) has been a registered nurse for nine years. She works for a group of family physicians in private practice. Jessica is one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and has been a member of the local congregation for the past five years, along with her husband and two young children. She enjoys her job at the clinic, since it allows her to work a regular nine-to-five work week and spend after hours' time with her family and friends in her congregation. Her religious beliefs have not so far interfered with her professional judgement, nor does she make a habit of promulgating her belief system to her co-workers or the patients who visit the office -- in fact, she prefers to keep these two aspects of her life as separate as possible.

 If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. People dig their own graves, and those of others, when they become pessimists. "Why bother." replaces "That's worth a try!"
Progress becomes impossible to the person who doesn't see any point in improving things.
Who am I talking about?
Jehovah's Witnesses, that's who!
This is a religion of people who cast a giant shadow over their own life and take away any reason for improving things.
