    "You guys do know that this is what Witnesses preach right? The stripping of the harlot etc. By taxation? Why would you want one of the Witnesses prophecies to come true is beyond me!" Botswana, page #2

    Ah, no...

    That's not what they prophecy - er, "preach", although the Watchtower Society would scream bloody murder if they WERE to be taxed - they would claim that it was the beginning of the "Great Tribulation" or "Armageddon" or "overlapping generations" or whatever idiocy would generate sympathy for the poor, $$3-billion $$$ company asked to pay taxes...

    If I recall correctly - and this was in the 60's - 70's, so the teachings may have changed a bit, but...

    They claimed that there would be a great deal of VIOLENCE as the nations FORCIBLY took ALL of the various churches' assets away.

    A little - or a lot of overdue taxation - is hardly "Armageddon".
