How and why Jehovah Witnesses perform like a terrorist group
How and why Jehovah Witnesses perform like a terrorist group
Watchtower's 3rd president Nathan Knorr and attorney Hayden Covington
As an impressionable child I was phobic-indoctrinated with doomsday preparations about the Watchtowers coming 'warning work,' that we would some day 'soon' be required by Jehovah our God to go door to door and declare to every home with a judgmental proclamation that every man, woman, and child is about to die horribly, and the only salvation is the JW organization who will soon no longer be allowing anyone into their 'ark of salvation.'
This very inflammatory hate message would incite jealous non believers to 'attack God's anointed' and provoke his wrath to bring about Armageddon. Only loyal Witnesses who were obedient and trusting in Jehovah (as represented by the organization) would be permitted to survive.

Reformed by Frank J. Toth 1. Teaching that true Christianity is an organization instead of a way of life 2. Claiming salvation is dependent upon belonging to the JW denomination 3. Claiming that the organization speaks for and is controlled by Jehovah,
thereby equating the organization with God himself 4. Centralizing authority in an organization instead of letting Christ be the
head of each Christian 5. Claiming that the “faithful and discreet slave” is the “anointed class”
rather than each individual Christian who shows himself or herself to be
responsible and obedient to Christ 6. Teaching that the early Christians were led by a governing body 7. Teaching that Jesus appointed the “anointed remnant” as his true church in
1919 8. Viewing the so-called “anointed” class (actually, the governing body) as
God’s channel and prophet 9. Placing WT literature above the Bible 10. Frequently taking Bible texts out of context in order to build support for
the organization’s man-made teachings and procedures 11. Teaching that Jesus returned in 1914 and is “invisibly present” since then 12. Teaching that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 BCE when no historical records
confirm this and the actual date is believed by nearly all historians to be 587
BCE 13. Falsifying the fact that Charles Russell predicted for 1914 the end of the
world, not Christ’s return 14. Lying about a so-called “increase” in earthquakes, warfare, famines,
persecution, etc., since 1914 15. Contradictorily condemning military organizations and frowning upon JWs who
choose alternative service in lieu of military service while the headquarters
organization at the same time owns stock in a military product organization
(REGI) 16. Taking a conflicting stand with regard to the United Nations, claiming that
it is the “wild beast” of Revelation that leads all nations in a fight against
God and Christ at Armageddon, but signing on as an NGO member and publishing
articles that present the UN in a favorable light 17. Teaching that it’s wrong to celebrate birthdays and all holidays 18. Teaching that Abraham and the faithful men and women of old are not among
the holy ones who will rule with Christ in his Kingdom 19. Interpreting Jewish restoration prophecies as fulfilled in “the anointed
remnant” 20. Teaching that the Scriptures are directly addressed only to “the remnant of
anointed ones” 21. Teaching that only the “anointed” must be born again 22. Teaching that the “great crowd” are not begotten or anointed by the Holy
Spirit 23. Teaching that the “great crowd” are God’s grandchildren and not his sons and
daughters 24. Teaching that the “great crowd” are not members of the bride of Christ 25. Teaching that Jesus is not the mediator between God and the “great crowd” of
Revelation chapter 7 26. Teaching that the resurrection of the “anointed” precedes the resurrection
of the “other sheep” and that it has already begun 27. Teaching that only “anointed” JWs will receive immortality in the
resurrection 28. Inviting only the “anointed” to partake at the memorial 29. Claiming that spiritual food comes from the “anointed” class whereas nearly
all the writers of WT publications are members of the “other sheep” class 30. Creating a climate of fear by authoritarianism 31. Controlling what individual JWs may read of Bible-related publications that
are not produced by the WT Society 32. Arrogantly pretending that the JW organization maintains higher standards
than any other religion and proclaiming publicly that all other churches are
members of Babylon the Great 33. Forbidding attendance and participation at other churches 34. Class distinctions such as “governing body,” “anointed remnant” and “great
crowd of other sheep” 35. Class distinctions such as publishers, auxiliary pioneers, regular pioneers,
special pioneers, circuit overseers, district overseers, Bethelites, Governing
Body, etc. 36. Prohibiting women from serving in any meaningful role in the congregation
while expecting them to do the bulk of the work in “field service” 37. Constantly prodding the membership by means of literature, meetings and
conventions to do ever more and more in the service of the organization,
promoting an atmosphere where many feel their best is never good enough 38. Setting dates for Armageddon and thereby urging the membership to abandon
normal living, this often resulting in the ruination of health and family life,
as well as creating employment and financial hardships 39. Teachings that lead the members to believe righteousness and salvation can
be earned by devoted and loyal support of the organization’s slavish programs 40. Keeping meeting attendance and field service records as a gauge of an
individual’s spirituality 41. Organizationally requiring no blood transfusions instead of letting it be a
matter of conscience, thereby cruelly informing all members that they will be
shunned by the organization if they accept a transfusion that might restore
health following a life-threatening accident or illness 42. Allowing their own infants and children to die instead of allowing doctors
to give them necessary blood transfusions 43. Teaching that the “congregation” of Matthew 18:17 is the body of elders 44. Holding heresy trials and disciplinary hearings in secrecy from the rest of
the congregation 45. Withholding information that would be helpful to persons who have been
accused of wrongdoing 46. Conducting heresy trials of members who have doubts or who think differently
upon the Scriptures 47. Defining apostasy as against the organization instead of against God 48. Being quick to disfellowship instead of making efforts to restore persons
who have done something wrong 49. Unnecessarily and abusively shunning members even for minor infractions such
as smoking or not complying with the whimsical directives of elders, thereby
causing personal and family turmoil that often results in immense guilt, shame,
fear, depression, bitterness, hatred, murder and suicide 50. Prohibiting fellowship with disassociated persons who show no inclination
toward causing dissension 51. Showing favoritism by advising innocent victims to “leave it to Jehovah”
instead of the elders taking decisive action to deal with some members who have
been accused of harmful wrongdoing. 52. Ignoring or minimizing clear evidence of child molestation and other abuses
simply because only one witness is available to testify against the member
accused of such serious wrongdoing 53. Covering over and hiding damaging facts about the JW organization 54. In many cases, neglecting the care of their own sick and elderly members who
no longer have the strength and energy to attend all the meetings and to be
regular in “field service” as they did for most of their lives and last but not least... 55.
Blatantly lying to the public by declaring to news media that members may
leave the organization at any time, of their own free will and without any
repercussions from the organization
