  The Witness people very often treated me and my family like pests while we were Witnesses. To us, nothing has changed. Many of the Witness people treated us like dirt when we were supporting their publishing and distribution business. The publishing business just write and publish words on paper. The Witness people who follow the Society are mean people and they are the reason it all works. Decent people don't want anything to do with the Jehovah's Witness people.
  Calling fellow humans "pests" to be "eliminated" (exterminated) is about as low as any group can go. This was Hitler's philosophy. I wish detriment to anybody who would associate with this group.

  If only the incorrigably wicked are "pests" why is God going to kill (just about) everyone who's not a witness?

  They are in my opinion calling everyone not a witness an incorrigably wicked person because they won't accept the Dub message. Therefore they are "pests" that need to be exterminated.

  Let's hope someone with a right heart didn't hear the Good News from some 5 year old baptized kid and reject it eh? 'Cause if they rejected it they are now a "pest."

  People everywhere are being given the opportunity for survival and salvation.

  If the "opportunity" consists of the "preaching work," then this is a lie.

  It's being used to ease the minds of those who might worry about the true extent of the WWW or are inclined to think about it "too much." It's easy to memorize and repeat and appears to succinctly answer the "But what about..." questions.

  When I was in, I certainly never thought about testing out the assumptions surrounding the thoroughness of the WWW. It never occured to me to go up to five people on the street at random and ask them if they knew what the "good news" was that JWs preached and if they knew what life-or-death choice they were being presented with at that one (and possibly only) encounter with a Witness at the door.

  Hi, my name is Llowieke (the fox). I'm from the Netherlands. NO I'm not a former Witness, so this is not entirely my battle, but I'm sure they will consider any non-Witness a plague. I will be a plague to them.Be sure of that. On the positive side: childhoodfriend of mine has become a Witness. His heart isnt really into it, but his wife...well you know how it is. I showed him the pest-article and asked him if he considered me a pest too. He moaned and said some nasty things about American Witnesses. So why am I on this forum? Well, I love the scriptures and with my knowledge hope to turn their (JW's) none-faith into a real Armageddon. Problem is, the Dutch Witnesses are really polite. Naief, blind, but polite. That's even worse than the pigvomit-ones. YOu can't pick a fight with them. Strange thing: in all of the New Testament I cant find a txt about anyone bearing witness of Jehova. Christ is the word, Christ is the name, not Jehova. That's old hat. Interesting reading this Forum. Feel sorry for all you guys and gals that had to put up with this rubbish for such a long time. Wish you strenght and peace. I'll be around. God bless. Llowieke

  This is the roller coaster Witnesses have to ride. On one hand, JWs don't vote or participate in or promote worldly politics because their vote could make them bloodguilty. On the other hand, this 12/1/05 WT to an outside seems to be talking about people like Pol Pot and Ghenghis Khan. The world's becoming a better place, even if GW Bush is an idiot, or at least surrounds himself with idiots. I can't understand why anybody would want such a gigantic GLOBAL change of affairs. And besides, God let it get screwed up once with Adam and Eve, where's the guarantee another Satan might show up with a new challenge some time? Oh yeah, at the end of the 1000 years when mankind is restored to perfection and the earth is a paradise and still billions of people rebel. How utterly ridiculous.

  I believe this was taken out of contents. The pests referred to are those that kill and threaten human lives. A murderer is one by action and not by association. Why would you classify yourselves as the pests of human kind?

  Harmegeddon is fought in the heavens only, and in retaliation against the spirits that caused harm to humans. No human can withstand the force of a spirit entity. There is no need to kill a single human when JESUS arrives as all will bow down to their GOD Jehovah, amen. It was only necessary to effectuate the law against the men that killed others in ancient times, because it was not time for GOD to take over. That time has expired and Jehovah will now make the planet a righteous one.

  It's just more Watchtower double-speak and contradiction's. Nothing wrong with God killing the 'incorrigibly wicked'.... I wish he would come and do that now!! But 'incorrigibily wicked' persons are obviously only a tiny fraction of this planets population,. Yet what have they said in the past about who will survive Armageddon?:

  *** Watchtower 1989 September 1 p. 19 Remaining Organized for Survival Into the Millennium ***

  7 Only Jehovah's Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil.
