  this is a pretty old review written by Richard Dawkins of a pretty old book (Richard Milton's The Facts of Life: Shattering the myth of Darwinism)

  http://www.simonyi.ox.ac.uk/dawkins/WorldOfDawkins-archive/Dawkins/Work/Reviews/1992-08-28shattering_the_myths.shtml

  after tearing the book a new one, he makes this comment:

  But this is a more sophisticated criticism than Milton?s book deserves. The only serious question raised by its publication is why. As for would-be purchasers, if you want this sort of silly-season drivel you?d be better off with a couple of Jehovah?s Witness tracts. They are more amusing to read, they have rather sweet pictures, and they put their religious cards on the table.

  the JW's should be flattered that he's taken the time to read their stuff.

  lol. ya, they are amusing to read. it just goes to show how easy it is to tear apart the WTS arguments, as they lay all their cards on the table. this reminds me of an essay by christopher hitchens called "the stupidist religion" were he says that the only thing stupider than muslism extremists using their "faith" as justification to kill people, "was the output of jehovah's witnesses". gotta love fearless atheists.

  Quotes

  (Quotes puts on his Theocrapic hat and says)
  
  "As long as Jahoobee's name(tm), and his Organization(tm), are made known, even these lies act as a witness(tm) to all the world(tm). Honest-hearted ones(tm) will recognize the baseless accusations(tm) against our brothers(tm) and their fine publications(tm). Their curiosity piqued, such sincere searchers-of-truth(tm) will search out the Truth(tm) and learn about Jahoobee's plan(tm). Even when Satan's godless athiests try to discredit us, it only serves to give a witness(tm)."
  
  (Quotes removed his Theocrapic hat, holds it under his chin, and vomits profusely with such force that it splits open the hat and leaves vomit and bile all over his lap.)
  
  ~Quotes, of the "looking for a new hat" class

  They should put a new tagline on the Watchtower:
  "More amusing than your average silly-season drivel"
