The Taliban and The Watchtower

JWD

It`s amazing the unusual bed-fellows one finds from time to time.
It seems that certain traits know no national boundaries. While watching the news the other day men with turbans living in Afganistan
began to resemble men with suits dwelling in Brooklyn. You might have
to squint a little bit to see the resemblance but try and see if you
can see what I saw.

As to the Talibans and the leaders of the Watchtower:

Both suppress information
Both discourage higher education
Both rejoice at the death of their `enemy`
Both keep women in a low place in society
Both keep their followers poor
Both have all their people wearing the same style clothes!
Both like making lots of petty rules
Both have their own `theocratic police force`
Both have a thing about beards (Taliban want em on/ WT wants em off)
Both have a thing about New York!
Both hate the trinity

Any other common traits I might have missed? JWD

CornerStone

Both think they are going to heaven, (with or without virgins).

JWD

Both believe they`re fighting a `Holy War`

Both don`t hesitate to ask their followers to throw away their lives.

JWD

Both have really boring services! (and bad singing!)

JWD

Both hate apostates!!

Both hate the American government

Both are looking forward to Armageddon

Amazing

Good points TR: We can also add:

Both prohibit their members access to the Internet.
The Taliban prohibits TV, the WT just discourages TV
Both believe in Theocratic government.

Now we can see what might happen if the Watchtower were given real political power and have guns in their hands. - Amazing

More garbage from the haters. There is absolutely no comparison. But have fun.

No prolog there is lots to compare.

The big thing - there is no check and balance in both organizations. Thus, the ends justify the means happens in both organizations and the innocent people get hurt.

You guys noticed that too. Seriously the characteristics are a lot the same. If you had a muslim friend, it would confirm it even more.

A good friend of mine has been working in northern Pakistan for
18 years. He speaks Pushtoon fluently and has many friends who are
from Afganistan. We were comparing the fundamentalist Islamic world
view and the WT world view and were amazed at the similarities we
came up with.
