Yes. Maybe not all, or half, or many. But at least some, and more than I think I can safely contemplate and not start worrying (I live in a place with a big airport and lots of buildings).
Would JW's would crash planes into buildings if the Society said to?

Well apparently there are plenty of Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists, who are more than willing to blow up men women and children (collateral damage?) because their elected leaders and clergy tell them its the right thing to do.

No sane person with all their thinking faculties intact, can successfully argue against this reasoning:
Drastic? If you can sit in a hospital and watch your little baby die (no blood) because the man from
OZBrooklyn told you this is what God wants, and then they tell you to fly a plane into a building, or blow up a Catholic church because Jehovah said so....you will do it.Good point Tats.
The tough part would be delivering the "Jehovah said so" message. As a flash of new light, it would be a tough sell. Even for the diehard, nutcase JW. The blood doctrine has been established for years. It would take a while for them to work up to endorsing violence. It would have to be like everything else, a slow gradual brain washing.
First they would have to float out the notion that WE WILL be involved in Armageddon after all. WE will be joining in with the angels and the annointed in executing Jah's judgements. An exciting new flash of light! Surely there is a scripture or two that could be twisted to fit just perfectly!
Then after we are used to that for a few years, they would float out the notion that perhaps even during the great tribulation, ceratin aspects of our spiritual warfare may escalate in to some greater sacrifices on the part of the brothers. Letter writing campaigns would move to picketing and sign carrying once again. A modern day Nazarite class of young bethelites would be identified. These young men would begin special training at Paterson. A specialized MTS training school of sorts for these priveleged young nazarites would include preparing them for the day of judgement. Then one day a few of these young men would be taken aside by one of the GB members themselves, and be told of a very special assignment...
You may laugh. You may say it's crazy talk. But this is how a mind control cult works and how it can, over time, get its adherents to do things they would never normally consider doing.
For most people watching your baby die, and actually being the one to decide that it indeed, will die, is unthinkable for a normal person - yet with the right mind control over many years it actually is happening now! Otherwise normal, kind, thoughtful, and caring people are killing their children. There is proof positve that mind control works.
And that's one of the reasons the WT needs to be stopped.

The fact that they never answered your question is the answer. The answer is unquestioning obedience and loyalty. As DT said, the Watchtower would have to lay the ground work first, but it's possible.

Your average JW will do anything the WBT$ asks of them..If flying into a building is what the WBT$ wanted..There would be JW`s that would do it............

Actually, I don't think it would take that many years. Many witnesses sold their homes and everything they had getting ready for 1975. They weren't preaching that for 30 or 40 years. If they called a "special" assembly, (and we all know how excited we used to get when "special" was mentioned).....and suddenly started saying Armageddon was definitely upon us, and we were chosen to help get rid of evil Christendom...do you know how thunderous the applause would be? All they'd have to say is that Jehovah decided to USE us to do his will....
I can see it working.

Sacrificing your children or yourself to Jehovah is the same thing to me.

I agree it would take years and their number would tank but those left would do anything. Wait a sec OH CRAP!

After seeing the extreme " cult mind control " in that organization for 44 years ? Yes, most definitely they would fly a plane into anything for the Watchtower society ! Even their own mother if she tried to stop them. They ARE that twisted

Mean while, Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists, etc. etc. spill barrels of blood on battle fields.
JW's let their little children die? So-called Christians think nothing of leaving field mines all over the place where they can blow off limbs of little children playing innocently in an open field.
When you can get THAT figured out then you can speculate on whether JW's would fly planes into buildings. -
