They were pissed off about getting a tax bill in French.

The ad said that taxation is religious persecution. Hahahahaha For real!

It seems the WT lawyers weren't winning in Paris. NO amount of spinning could get the French authorities to believe the JW's were actually a charitable organization! Surprise.

So they took their complaint to the American public, perhaps to see if they could get sympathy and/or assistance to overthrow the logical judicial decision of the French authorities.

Donation dollars to the WTS -- down the drain. (I don't think NY Times ads are free...)

Did they do a typo on Mr Swingle's name - shouldn't it have been Mr Swindle? :)

The Watchtower Society is openly defying their supposed leader, Jesus Christ. He said "to whomever demands the tax, pay the tax. To him who calls for tribute, give tribute."

They're saying "But we have an exception!!" Of course they're the exception because they're not really a charitable organization. The French government has caught on to that.

(To clarify -- this may be stating the obvious, but other churches actually have charitable programs that help hungry, needy and/or homeless. The Watchtower Society has no such program, with the possible exception of teaching some illiterate people in third-world nations to read.)

JWS ADVERTISE IN NY TIMES!
