Can we please get some perspective here?
The Nazis were horrible; they gassed and killed. The WT has NO comparison to the Nazis.
Nothing does.
Don't go there.

There are many genocides happening all around the world. In that respect those who commit theses acts are no different than what Hitler did. Mass slaughter of those deemed unworthy.
When you take a look at WT descriptions of the destruction at Armageddon it pretty much sums up what any group does when they commit these atrocities.
The Bible is filled with it. God slaughters those He deems unworthy.
Those images in the books and magazines of JWs turning their backs to the mass destruction of non-JWs are pretty clear. They almost all have a happy face as they walk away.
A sample? From Does God Care 1992
A couple of pages over there is this:
Personally I don't know that I would be smiling to see children and babies slaughtered in front of me. Or that I would have to climb over or go around destroyed buildings knowing that mothers and fathers and children were lying somewhere below me perhaps in the hopes that someone would pull them out.
WT literature is filled with these images. Destruction and happy JW faces. I have 35 sitting on my hard drive. I am sure if I check my pdf files for certain books I will find hundreds more
Makes me think of how Bethel workers were told to stay away from the windows and not watch the horror as bleeding and hurt people marched past Bethel on their way out of NYC after the Twin Towers came dome. The few people they helped had to prove they were JWs to even get in the door for a glass of water.
Even if some wanted to go out to help they were instructed not to; not even to be seen looking at them as they walked by covered in soot and ashes.
They weren't responsible for the disaster but they sure didn't offer any Christian help to those who needed it.
JWs aren't told they will do the killing themselves. Good thing because like many other rigid fundamentalist cults they might actually do it.
SIDE NOTE:
I find it interesting that it was shortly after 9/11 that the WTS started selling off their property in Brooklyn and moving to Patterson.
Godwins law is a poor debating tool of those who would manipulate the emotions of others.
eww and you lot decry mindwashing yet use a classic one in this thread?
The JWS are a self devised kingdom of power and control constructed to place the power of god into dishonest disingenuous men.
So just as the men who started this religion were so is the organization or the kingdom that they have established for themselves,
false and corrupt at its core and foundation.
homer they might be corrupt but I don't think that isn't really enough to make the comparison to Naziism
Lady Lee, Homer and Pistoff, please how about the use of similar techniques between the WTS and the Nazis to control and perpetually and enslave people? Although the later killed 6 million jews, how about the hundreds even perhaps thousands who have either died, abused or suffered mental demages and lifecourse disruptions as a result of misguided policies of the WTBS? I think there are obvious parallels we can draw between the WTS and the infamous Nazi Germany party.
Nasi’ (???????) is a Hebrew title meaning prince, in Biblical Hebrew, Patriarch (of the Sanhedrin) in Mishnaic Hebrew, or president, in Modern Hebrew.
During the Second Commonwealth (c.530 BCE - 70 CE ), the nasi was the highest-ranking member and president of the Sanhedrin or Assembly, including when it sat as a criminal court. The position was created in c. 191 BCE when the Sanhedrin lost confidence in the ability of the High Priest to serve as its head. [ 1 ] The Romans recognised the nasi as 'Patriarch of the Jews', and required all Jews to pay a tax for the upkeep of that office, which ranked highly in the Roman official hierarchy.
The word for prince is now nasich.
WT elders being groomed to "rule as kings and princes"?
A lot of similarity if you ask me.
