The man who invented the religion known as "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES," was Joseph Franklin Rutherford.
He is the same man who spread the message, "Religion is a Snare and a Racket."
That's right, RELIGION was the poison that caused the rot in the world.
Were Jehovah's Witnesses a "religion?" Hell no!
They called themselves the SOCIETY (aka: Watch Tower Bible and Tract SOCIETY.)
(Old Timers (like me) today, still refer to them that way.)
Oh-but wait!
Watch what happens . . .
Very soon, the Watch Tower's non-religion members found themselves trying to wiggle out of being drafted into the war.
Very soon, the Watch Tower Society needed to be recognized as Conscientious Objectors, and needed standing before the Courts of the land.
The Court would not recognize them--guess why?
They weren't a RELIGION and the exemptions under law were only for RELIGION.
Ha ha ha ha ha. Shot themselves in the foot!
So, what did Rutherford do?
He set his legal expertise on pleading before the Court TO BE RECOGNIZED as a RELIGION!
Game Change!
The fight was no longer between the Witnesses and Religion; it was between TRUE Relgion and FALSE Religion.
A simple grammatical shift solved the problem. (It also made Rutherford's "Religion is a snare and a Racket" very embarrassing!
Becoming a religion also meant Rutherford's financial dealings could be cloaked in secrecy and exempt from TAXES. Why?
Religion is tax exempt and no public accounting and disclosure is required.
Why do I bring this up? It also applies to the topic at hand.
The so-called "principles" of Jehovahs Witnesses can appear and disappear at will according
to whim. Interpretations of scripture suddenly flash into print and become solid TRUTH only to be quietly retired and replaced
when it is inconvenient to continue.
"JW" as a search term in the very competitive war between apostates and WTS followers is the most common search term.
To NOT self-identify is to turn all the curious minds over to the enemy who will expose all their nasty secrets.
