Beginning in 1964, JWs in Malawi began to experience persecution and violence on a scale unequaled in modern times . . . . In the first attack, 1,081 Malawi families saw their little homes burned or otherwise demolished, 588 fields of crops destroyed. In the 1967 attacks, Witnesses reported the rapings of more than one thousand of their women, one mother being sexually violated by six different men, her thirteen-year-old daughter by three men . . . .

Frank - You are right. On rereading, you didn't say millions died. But why would you say I wouldn't care if it happened?
The above is an extract about Malawi. It mentions houses burned, 2 rapes, beatings, torture, and at the end, murder. Don't you think murder would be first on this list if it had been the 1000s you mentioned in a July 8 post? You aren't by any chance fond of slight exaggeration are you? Besides, these atrocities happened because of their (the member's) beliefs. It was perpetrated by evil people.
