Recently I have information on JW's who happen to be "FIRST CLASS HYPOCRITES" who think they are "THE TRUE RELIGION" and on occations have been known to lie and back stab just to keep people "JOINING AND NEVER LEAVING THIER WATCHTOWER ORGANISATION". Furthermore they say "YOU HAVE TO EARN YOUR SALVATION" by door knocking everywhere and to top that "ONLY 144,000 OF THEM GO TO HEAVEN" of which only 10,000 vacancies are still open? For the rest are traped on earth or something? Finally most of their members don't even reasearch the bible but just rely on their "SENIOR" members to tell them. Their theory is "WHAT IS TRUTH TODAY IS NOT TRUTH TOMMORROW" so interpretation is always changed by their organisation! The guy who started it 'Charles Taze Russel' claimed that "CHRIST RETURNED IN 1917 'INVISABLY"? He also got busted in court for purging himself 'claiming he knew Greek when he couldn't even read the Greek alphabet! He later admitted under oath that he hade "NO KNOWLEDGE OF LATIN, HEWBREW, PHILOSOPHY AND SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY" which he also claimd to have. Besides that "HE WASN'T EVEN CHRISTIAN" to start with. You ask a JW about their founder and they have no clue. FUNNY THAT!

Well thank and tell your thoughts.

P.S This in referance to the book "WHY I LEFT THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" by 'TED DENCHER

Sounds familiar.
This applies to pretty much all major religious organisations.

As a former JW I would say that some of your statements are true and some are false. In fact each of your statements are true in a sense and false in a sense. Is that religion all bad? No Neither is it all good as a JW would tell you.

The religion is quite evil. Their Fellowships are just ways of controling people. You think the catholic scandel is bad? If a jehovahs witness elder abuses (molests) a child, the council will let him get away with it. If your the one who was abused, and you go to the police, you will be shunned by fellow jehovahs, and banished from the religion by the elders. NO JOKE!

On the other hand , all man-made religions seek to control peoples thoughts.

I guess you gave have the basic idea!

No blood transfusions for the jahovas either.

Sad!
