  Wasn't it true that in mexico (?) the witnesses preached that they were no longer a "Religion" so they did not have to hand over their bethal land and various other lands (kingdom halls) to the government? If so, is it not written that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one? (1 John 5:19) If so, then wouldn't it a reasonable and justified thing to say that the Watchtower Bible And Tract Society wants a part of Satan's world? Why would you want a part of satan's world? Is it not written that "you cannot be partaking of the table of Jah and the table of Demons?" (Takng this from a witness stand point in saying that there REALLY is A True religion) what does Jah of Armies really think about the witnesses for denying being "The True religion in mexico?" Doing so, would Christ confess to the Father that these ones are His seeing how they denied being a Religion of God lead by Christ according to the witnesses? Although i am against Religion in general...all, i still think with their train of thought thinking they do believe their religion is TRUE so why deny it in mexico? I ask questions....not judge. Any thoughts? ~FS

  Well, I dunno about that, but I do know that if the JWs did what you say, they are in violation of the concept of The Master's that if someone demands your cloak, you give him your inner garment as well. You certainly don't cling to material objects - especially when you claim to literally represent God on this planet.

  The more they run their mouths, the deeper the hole they're digging for themselves. Then all we gotta do is push the dirt in over them and we're rid of one of the worst problems on the planet.

  How 'bout you all? What do you think? Would it be easier to make a truly Christian church out of the Catholics or the JDubs? Whatcha think?

  Well that's what i mean't. If the Governments are ran by satan and they want their land back...shouldn't it be given back instead of lied to? I realize we have houses and properties that many people OWN. But my point wasn't that it was about what you said..."return ceasar's things to ceasar" type thing. :-D ~FS

  Jws like 'stuff' as much as the most covetous on the earth. They give zilch to charitable social endeavour.

  Why do they go to court half the time - they want stuff, money, and to keep stuff.

  Whats interesting is that the WTS lied to the Mexican government so they could keep their property. Compare this with what Daniel did in Babylon when it was ordered that all had to pray to King Darius in Daniel chapte 6. Not only did Daniel continue to pray only to God, but he did it openly without fear and for others to see. In contrast, the JWs in Mexico did away with prayers and singing at meetings and did not bring Bibles in their door to door work: all so that they could claim to be a cultural association and continue to retain ownership of property. They openly claimed not to be a religion, that the meetings were not religious, that the witnessing activity was not a religious activity and that baptism was not a religious act (See Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Franz). The WTS indeed is greedy for them to have done this. Greed is a disfellowshiping offense, and everyone on the Governing Body should be disfellowshiped!
