	The Watch Tower Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This kind of mesmerizing repetition is constantly used by the Watch Tower Society to condition Jehovah's Witnesses to think that it is wrong for them to question anything the Society ever publishes as "Truth." In contrast to this attitude towards the organization, Russell and his early associates were actually against earthly organization.
		According to present-day Watch Tower teachings, Jesus Christ was supposed to have "come" invisibly in 1914, and after his coming to have entered into the the judgment of his earthly servants.
		7 P. 9 In The Watch Tower of February 15, 1927, in an article entitled "Servant-Good and Evil," the Society's second president began to teach that the entire church, the "body of Christ," and, hence, the entire Bible Student community in communion with the Society was the "slave," not Russell.

	Chapter 4
		The Society has bought and built to provide offices and residences for factory workers and editorial and administrative staff and to accommodate the missionary school of Gilead, which, as part of a thrust toward centralization, was shifted, in the 1960s, from South Lansing, New York.
		The Society had at first proposed a twelve-story building; Heights residents, who tend to avert their eyes from the tall Watchtower dormitory and office buildings that are a jarring interruption to the generally uniform cornice line of Columbia Heights (the neighborhood's most noble and elegant street), protested ardently.
		The Society offered to pay relocation expenses required under law; but the tenants' response was "Where are we going to move to?" Many of the tenants-some of whom had children enrolled in local public schools-felt that they were being pushed out of reasonable city housing into the suburbs by a vast, impersonal force.

	Jehovah's Witnesses Quit UN Affiliation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Watch Tower Society had quietly affiliated with the UN in 1991 in an agreement to "support the Charter" of the United Nations--also agreeing to promote the UN among its members.
		Watch Tower publications have long labeled the UN as one of the "beasts" of the biblical book of Revelation--the archenemy of the kingdom of God.
		The first official reply from a Watch Tower official was made by Paul Gillies of the Witnesses' branch office in Britian on October 22nd: membership as a NGO was simply a result of "getting a library card" at the UN facilities in New York.

	Towerwatcher ~ Pedophiles among us
		The Watch Tower Society have often reported on the inaction of churches, particularly the Catholic church, in handling cases of child sexual abuse among its members.
		Interestingly, the Watch Tower Society has never published information about the activity of pedophiles in the organisation, and most witnesses assume that the congregations are free of sexual abusers and pedophiles.
		The Watch Tower Society is coming under increasing pressure from the media, and internally from active witnesses around the world, to reform its handling of sexual abuse cases.

	Earthquakes and Historical Facts \| Dispensationalist Dementia \| The Preterist ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Society's tendency has been to reject them altogether when making statistical comparisons on earth-quake activity before and after 1914, supplying instead a definition of their own making as to what is meant by a "great" earthquake.
		Professor Aki's letter to the Watch Tower Society shows that when referring to "the apparent surge in intensity and frequency of major earthquakes" he clearly used the term "apparent" in the sense of a seeming surge, not in the sense of that which is evident or noticeable.
		The fact that the Society, time and again, has presented this false information-seemingly taken from a neutral source-in order to "prove" its interpretation of the "sign" since 1914, should induce every honest reader of its publications to ask if this Society is genuinely deserving of his or her confidence in its remarkable claims.

	[Holocaust] Jehovah's Witnesses and Hitler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		So when the Watch Tower Society published a history of Jehovah's Witnesses in Germany in the 1974 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses, it was necessary to deal with what were very embarrassing data in a way which would not make the Society's Brooklyn leaders look guilty of violating their own teachings.
		While the Society still boasts of the bravery of German Jehovah's Witnesses in their refusal to submit to the dictates of Nazism, it also continues to try to hide its leaders' attempt to compromise with the Nazis in 1933.
		But not once in these articles does the anonymous author admit that, from the standpoint of their own teachings, Watch Tower leaders were also were willing to commit "fornication" with the rulers of the Third Reich had the Nazis been willing to let them get into bed with them.

	Arians, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the Person of Christ
		Space permitting I could go on with further examples of The Watch Tower Society's misrepresentations of the Ante-Nicene fathers but suffice it to say that all of them, with perhaps the exception of Origen, could be considered to be in line with Trinitarian theology and not that of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
		One of the first problems that the Watch Tower Society has with the doctrine of the Trinity is their misunderstanding of it, thus their twisting of what it claims.
		Second, contrary to the Watch Tower Society's claim Jesus is not merely "explaining his prehuman existence" but is indeed from the context using ego eimi as a title or name.

		The reason the Watch Tower may want to silence the sight is believed to be because many of the JWs on it have openly criticised its doctrine on blood transfusions and other doctrine.
		In a letter to the Watch Tower Society, which is produced on the site at http://www.cyberpass.net/~h2o/wwwboard/hourglass2board.html, the anonymous author says the site owners will ignore instructions to shut the site, fully believing such instructions are not "spirit-directed" by Jehovah God or his son Jesus Christ;

		In 1918 the president of the Society and seven members of the Board of Directors in America were sentenced to 80 years' imprisonment for the reason that the president refused to let two magazines in America, which he edited, be used in war propaganda against Germany.
		, later Watch Tower Society branch servant (director or overseer) for Jehovah's Witnesses in Germany, was present at the June 26, 1933 Witness convention in Berlin.
		The statement that the eight Watch Tower officers were sentenced to eighty years in an Atlanta, Georgia federal penitentiary appears in many Watch Tower sources, evidently for shock effect.

	Watch Tower Society sells Introvigne's books
		However, the market is equally impressive: if even 20% of Italy's "publishers" (the active members of the WTS) take the strong hint of the organization, this would mean the purchase of 45,000 copies in a country where the sale of 2,000 almost makes a book into a bestseller.
		To fully appreciate what this means, we must remember that it is simply impossible to write objectively about the Watchtower Society and not be considered an enemy.
		Something which, come as we have shown elsewhere, Introvigne is particulary good at.

	The Doctrine of Eternal Punishment : Christian Courier
		“Punishment” clearly implies awareness; this is why the New World Translation (Watch Tower Society) changes “punishment” to “cutting-off.” Observe also that the punishment of the unbeliever is as enduring as the “life” (fellowship with God) of the believer.
		However, beginning with the eighteenth century a new wave of “clergymen” within the ranks of “Christendom” began to deny this fundamental tenet of biblical doctrine, and today a significant segment of American society (almost half) no longer believes in hell.
		Further, the evidence is mounting that there is a weakening posture on this theme within the church.

	Yahweh Book (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This truth is not for everyone, as most people will reject truth in favor of what they have been taught by their family, customs, their surrounding culture, their church and society in general (which would include their educational system, government, news and entertainment media).
		These are people who no longer accept the status quo, who are no longer willing to go with the flow of society and the masses, who are seeking greater truth and are free thinkers.
		In this article, it is very clear that the leaders of the Jehovah’s Witnesses admit that the Name of Yahweh is correct and that definite evidence of this has been found in caves and ruins by archaeologists and scientists.
