The Awake magazine has probably informed more people of current atrocities throughout the world than any other publication written.
Yeah, sure! Ever read Time, Lady? Even Readers' Digest and National Geographic do a better job of covering man's inhumanity to man than the 'Tower rags.

Had Enough
Hello expatbrit:
How true! As always, reading those sites just gives me heartburn.
All that was needed to finish this drivel off was to hear someone say what I heard a pioneer once say at the door about the holocaust: "This was just fulfilling the scripture about the future generations would suffer because of the sins of their fathers" so his view was that is why the Jews were persecuted and killed..to atone for their fathers' sins. Kinda left me with my jaw hanging open.
Also I didn't notice anyone mentioning the letter that the GB sent to Hitler before the war, praising the German ideals and praising themselves for their "persecution" of the "big guys" being thrown in jail by the US govt for not advertising US propaganda in the JW mags. I wonder how many of them actually know of that claim?
Amazing isn't it?

3-Tell them its for a righteous causeAs you so rightly said: Cognitive Dissonance in action!!!!!

((((((expat)))))))))))))
Thanks,Big Ray doesn't uh like me lol so I can't venture thru the nether regions lol.Funny,Sunshines description sure sounded like the WTS to me,,,,
Totenkopf(s) meant deaths head (if they wanna know lol)
Also from my readings of history the eastern europeans were virulently anti-semitic...funny they didnt mention the Poles of all people..did she mention Ukranians? Weren't the worst camps in Poland? They obviously couldn't undertake such mechanized genocide in Norway et al(I know they're were satellite camps all over tho. But Maidenjak,Auszwitz,Treblinka-all Poland.........oops went off on a tangent,sorry,,, Anyway I didnt really see as much cog dis as I did total denial of the similarities bewteen the WTS and Nazis they were describing. Just my take FWIW,T
