Quite right the slaves were manipulated and exploited by god's publishing house the WTS.
The lies and deceit was an act of coercion that rendered them power and control
and free labor, but in hindsight this isn't really dissimilar than other religious groups
It just that the JWS have such a strong commercial aspect and agenda
It's their kingdom now 6 million strong and a billion dollars rich, no wonder the boys in Brooklyn are always seen smiling.
especially big stuff like the end of mankind in 1914, and christians then being raptured.
1925 men of old to return to earth.

Nothing funny about being victimized by a corporate publishing house
Also to poke fun at the society could be seen as being untheocratic, and so therefore it is frowned on
in the latest issue of the new yorker, october 8, 2007, on page 69 is a cartoon of a kingdom hall with a "no soliciting" sign in front of it.. this is the issue with seymour m. hersh's article on iran..

so, once armageddon is over and the bodies are everywhere, the birds are supposed to feed on us.. yet, shouldn't they be vegetarian in the 1000 year reign?.
a quick snack before god sets it in stone?
if so, the surviving jws may be able to have a bbq with any meat they find laying around from the destroyed supermarkets and butchers before they get told to give it up and eat fruit instead.. (but knowing me, i've probably missed something!
Yes this is true but it is said that after God murders most of the inhabitants on earth and let the birds feast he will then murder all the birds after everyone
has been picked clean, this is in fulfillment of his prophecy.
God is surely a loving and just god.
Say, didn't he already murder all the inhabitants on earth way back in Noah's time ?
I think God has issues he needs resolved.
