DANGER AT YOUR DOOR!
Dear Friend,
In your neighborhood they are actively pursuing
"contributions" for their magazines The Watchtower and Awake! They
will be calling on you and your neighbors. Will you ignore them or listen and
give a donation? The information presented here is of vital interest to you
and your friends. Why? Because the Jehovah's Witnesses are out to get you! "What?"
you say, "I don't see any problem with these peaceful folks coming to me
with their religious magazines. What's the big deal? Read on and you will see
the DANGER AT YOUR DOOR.
Just the facts, please. You are now reading
the real truth about Jehovah's Witnesses. The following questions and answers
will explain who they are and why they come to you.
Q.
Since I have my own religion, why do JWs want to talk to me:
A. JWs use their Watchtower magazine for "exposing"
the teachings of all churches. They believe that both Catholics and Protestants
(and other faiths) are of the Devil and what we call "Christianity"
will be destroyed by God at the End of the world. If you have a religion, the
JWs want you to leave it and submit to their "organization."
LIFE AS A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS
As a JW, you must live a "negative"
religion-in a world of "don'ts." Many restrictions are forced on you
and your family. You will be informed about most of them only after you have
been converted into the cult. Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are a dangerous cult
whose lifestyle has been exposed by the media, especially the most popular American
national news program, "60 Minutes."
Q.
Do JWs have an allegiance to their country?
A. As a JW, you will refuse to pledge allegiance
to our flag or stand for the national anthem. You will not vote. You will refuse
to defend our country in time of war.
Q.
Do JWs always hold to ethical and legal standards in the work place?
A. Sometimes the cult leader's control over
JWs affects the lives of others and even leads to unethical and illegal activity.
For example, if a JW works in a medical or legal office and finds out from office
files that another JW had an abortion, he must report this private information
to the Organization. Through this spy system, JWs are instructed to break their
word, violating their confidentiality agreements, even though this may lead
to a lawsuit against their innocent employers.
Q.
How do JW parents treat their children?
A. The children are under severe restrictions
which isolate them from non-JW children. JW parents deprive their children of
many physically and emotionally healthy opportunities in life. As a JW parent,
you will forbid your child from: celebrating birthdays and all holidays; after-
school sports with non-JW kids; joining a hobby club; playing little league
baseball; joining the YMCA; self defence courses; voting in school elections;
attending school dances; and even dating, except for marriage. It can be dangerous
being a child of Jehovah's Witnesses. As a parent, you will deny your child
a life-saving blood transfusion. You are even instructed to keep him out of
hospitals which may give one. Many children have died because of their parents'
beliefs. In the past, JWs were forbidden organ transplants and even vaccinations!
Q.
Do JWs always obey the law?
A. No. They have been known to abduct their
children out of hospitals to avoid possible blood transfusions. When the court
steps in to save the child; the parents "resist" and violate court
orders.
Q.
Do JWs socialize with people outside of the religion?
A. No. As a JW you would be discouraged from
associating with non-JW people and even relatives. All non-JWs are called "bad
associations" because they are under the control of Satan!
STRANGE MESSAGES
Q.
What is the most distinctive feature of the JW religion?
A. They claim to know the immediate future of
the world. They believe you are "doomed" if you don't submit to them.
As the world's greatest fortune teller, the JW leaders are pleased to teach
you the latest revelations of "new light" transmitted from their heavenly
"Mother." They claim that spirits transmit messages through them,
as the "channel" or "medium." Through this occultic channeling
JWs are told that new truth comes only at the due time. Of course, only the
JW leaders inform us when that time is!
TESTING THE WATCHTOWER FORTUNE TELLER
Q.
How can we know if the JW leaders really receive messages from God?
A. That's simple. If the messages are from the
true God, they would be true, right? Let's check only a small sample of the
"prophecies" they claim were transmitted to them. By doing so, we
will see if their claim of being God's "channel" holds up. Here are
some doomsday predictions:
In 1916 they declared: "In the meantime,
our eyes of understanding should discern clearly the Battle of the Great Day
of God Almighty now in progress..." (Was that God's War or World War One)?
In 1940 the leader of JWs proclaimed, "I
stated that the Nazis and Fascists were bent upon destroying the British Empire,
and that that would be accomplished." (Didn't World War Two see just the
opposite)?
In the 60's and 70's JWs believed the End was
again at the door. Watchtower readers read an article entitled, "Why Are
You Looking Forward to 1975?" Because they believed there were only 90
MONTHS before the End! In 1969, young people were warned against college education
in The Watchtower: "Do not let them 'brainwash' you with the Devil's propaganda
to get ahead, to make something of yourself in this world. This world has very
little time left!" In fact, just one year before 1975, JWs were encouraged
to sell their homes in order to spend the remaining "months" selling
the Watchtower full time.
The modern day Watchtower "channel"
has often pointed to a new time for the End still ahead Doomsday 1999. Ask any
JW and he will tell you-THE END is due any day! Were these "messages"
from the Watchtower "channel" really transmitted by God? You be the
judge.
CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT
JWs are restricted to the ever-changing prophecies
forced on them by Watchtower leaders. Is it not cruel to teach children that
the End is so near that they will never fulfill any dreams of careers in this
world? The media in various countries have reported suicides and suicide attempts
by the children of JWs-all due to their tragic beliefs, especially the threat
of doomsday. Is it any wonder that JWs are often afraid to reveal their true
lifestyle and even teach that it is "proper to hide the truth" about
it in child custody cases, fearing the Court will not understand their beliefs?
Q.
How will they get me to join JWs?
A. They will offer you a "free" home
Bible study. As you have seen, it will cost you a lot! Later, they will explain
that the Bible is not written for you to understand without their leader's interpretation.
These leaders say they "direct the minds" of JWs and desire to direct
yours, too! Yes, according to JWs, you should not think for yourself as they
say,' "Avoid Independent Thinking."
Q.
After converting, what if I can't handle all these restrictions on my life and
I decide to leave JWs?
A. You can, but don't expect your marriage mate
or children to leave with you. People are being terrorized into staying. They
are warned that if they leave the Organization their own family and JWs friends
will treat them as evil people. They will be shunned even by their own JW relatives.
The Society says to hate former JWs: "We must hate in the truest sense,
which is to regard with extreme' and active aversion, to consider as loathsome,
odious, filthy; to detest " Would you dare leave JWs?
As you can see, dear reader, life as a JW is
life in a prison-type environment; it is truly CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.
Is it for you?
