Splane's Anti Catholic Rant

Brother David Splane, you should be reminded of a very inconvenient fact.
Not only the Jehovah's Witnesses did nothing to help the Jews, which is something that you point the finger to Roman Catholics, they actively supported the Nazi regime in its anti-semitic vitriol, and, even more incredibly, scolded and disavowed any Witness who denounced Hitler's ill treatment of the Jews!
In May of 1933, the Gestapo raided the house of a former Jehovah's Witness, Ewald Vorsteher, thinking he was still an active member. They found in his house materials denouncing the anti-semitic and inhuman objectives of the Nazi regime. When the HQ of the Witnesses in Germany realized that the Gestapo was mistakingly linking the Jehovah's Witnesses with anti-Nazi activity, they became very uncomfortable and embarrassed. So, they promptly went on to denounce Mr. Vorsteher in the harshest terms and distance themselves from any disharmony with the Nazi authorities. In a letter of January 28, 1935 to the Nazi Home Office by one of the Watchtower Society’s official representatives Hans Dollinger, it reads:
“… I became painfully aware of the outrageousness of what this man named Vorsteher has done. I can really understand that the National Socialist state will not put up with such a thing… Never during all the years that National Socialism fought for Germany has the Bible Student’s Association tried to impair the fight. Never in any talk given, nor in written form, nor in it’s overall policies the association has given any negative statement against National Socialism. This applies to Germany… as well as to foreign countries in general.”
It's only ironic and hypocrite that, in 1996 (Awake! June, p.4), and really to this day, the Witnesses keep actually bragging how they “courageously spoke out and exposed Nazism as the evil that it was.”
What a bunch of opportunistic, revisionist, hypocrites!

Two of the Watchtower lawyers in Germany were members of the Nazi Party. Was Hans one of the lawyers?

On September 28th, 1933, Martin Herbeck, delegate for Rutherford's Jehovah's Witnesses of Europe, wrote a petition that was delivered to Germany's president Von Hindenburg, the Reich's Chancellor Adolf Hitler, and to the minister-president of Prussia, stating that:
"We have never accepted Communists or Marxists in our religious denomination. And the denomination certainly does not include any Jews. Even so, all IBSA members appreciate the National Socialist government because of the fact that Hitler and his State profess to be Christians".

The RCC did not act as a Unit for the Nazis or against it - so RCC in "commonwealth countries" supported the Allies etc
In South Africa the RCC was a true haven for the Anti-apartheid movement and its activists and yet conversely in the Rwandan conflict there was a lot of involvement in the genocide.
RCC in South Africa had mixed race services even though it could and did cause problems with the Apartheid Govt.
And anyone educated in a Catholic Convent School would probably testify to a really good education - my spouse certainly does !

Pot, meet kettle.
The fact is, all this is bullshit designed to obscure the reality that, whatever its faults, the present-day RCC is doing more to improve itself and the world around it than the WTS ever has...
...and I say this as a staunchy non-religious agnostic.

Why does the Watchtower really.have it in for the Catholic church ? They do not seem to slander and insult other denominations , Baptist , Anglican etc nearly so much . What has the RCC done to upset them.?As a member of the Church of England I feel a bit left out ( sympathy vote ,please )

A great number of JWs are Ex-Catholics, so perhaps David Splane wants to stir the pot? shake loose a few more nuts? and of course, the CC is a safe target compared to IS-lam. -

Prologos , that is interesting , of all the Trinitarian denominations the RCC is the most controlling , though amateurs compared to the WT . So some go from 1 Pope to 8 or 10 according to when you joined .
