  I am so free and quote you here:
  
  
  
  “Soon now, at his appointed time, Jehovah will send his executional forces into action to cleanse the earth.
  They will destroy forever those humans who of their own choice refuse to acknowledge his sovereignty…”
  *** wt chap. 10 p. 95 par. 9 ***
  
  
  
  
  
  “This means that the clergy’s destruction will take place when God brings Satan’s entire system to its end.
  God uses his heavenly King, Christ Jesus, to lead the angelic executional forces.
  This fate awaits the clergy because they have dishonored God and Christ and have led millions of people away from true worship.”
  *** w90 2/1 pp. 15-16 par. 3 ***
  
  
  
  
  
  “Therefore, it is for as long as they live that the modern-day locusts keep stinging God’s enemies.
  Moreover, the torment is so severe that men seek to die.
  True, we have no record that any of those who were stung by the locusts actually tried to kill themselves.”
  *** re chap. 22 p. 145 par. 11 ***
  
  
  
  
  
  “Yes, blood will run deep under the hand of God’s executional forces.
  The 69 million deaths of two world wars will pale in comparison to those slain in God’s war of Armageddon.”

  One of the most popular Floyd myths states that "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" was a reference to Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia, who famously lost a portion of his right-hand middle finger in a childhood wood-chopping accident.
  Thus, the title refers to Garcia's older brother (who was responsible for the accident), wryly instructing him to be more careful with his "axe" (presumably, the axe that severed part of Jerry's finger).
  While the story behind Garcia's missing finger is true, there is no connection between the childhood accident and the song, as neither Garcia, the Dead, nor the story of the childhood accident were widely known when this song was written.
  Furthermore, Garcia's older brother was named Tiff, not Eugene.
