    Here's the scene, you're out for a walk with a JW, and somehow discussion turns to religion.

    The JW says: 'I know JWs have the truth because we don't go to war, members of other churches will kill each other if their government asks them to, but the bible says 'do not kill' and we follow that.'

    How do you respond?

    True but look at JW tragedies and many JW have murdered their own families. Also there are religions in this world that are pacifists also. Quackers, Amish to name two.

    They claim to be anti war yet they look forward to the 'war' of all wars that will end all our apostate/worldly lives, then they look forward to birds picking out our eyeballs and helping jah to clean up the big mess! They must have an awfully small god that could not clean up by some other means, seriously, God can create the world and the universe but needs jw's to 'help' Him?

    In 1 John 3:15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. we are told that simply hating another person makes them guilty of murder.--Remember the wt that say 'we must hate...'?

    Proverbs 23:7 For he that thinketh in his heart, so is he....

    - jw's just by their thoughts about worldly and apostates have already commited murder, if they want to use a Bible.

    There is a little duplicity here with not going to war now but supporting the mother of all wars- Armageddon.
