Actually, dear Maze (peace to you!), the WTBTS practice of wickedly convincing people to give their hard-earned money, savings, insurance benefits, land, and other assets to them... vs. providing for their OWN FLESH... regardless of whether such flesh is a JW or not)... fulfills your list as to greed, business fraud, and immorality. Thus, you forgot the practice of "corban"... which amounts to them "devouring widows' houses"... which is what that really comes down to.
Since the monies actually belong to the "temple" of God... which is the PEOPLE... and NOT the vast real estate holdings of a fraudulent publishing company masquerading as a religion that doesn't admit it's a religion... it is also theft. They are literally ROBBING God of what is HIS... monies that are SUPPOSED to go helping "widows and orphans in their tribulation"... while some dusty old MEN are sitting around fat, well-fed and impeccably cared for.
It is not uncommon to see Christendom's religious leaders tooling around town in brand new Mercedes Benz, Lexus, and Cadillac vehicles, and these cars are parked in front of homes worth millions (shameless luxury). And of course, there are the designer suits and shoes that cost a pretty penny. You can start with Joel Osteen's profiteer ministries.
At any Kingdom Hall, there's no collection plate that is passed around as there's no profit motive amongst those at the headquarters in Brooklyn, New York or the branch offices as the workers including the Governing Body only receive the necessities of life. Do you deny this fact? Your description more aptly describes Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion.
"And the kings of the earth who committed fornication with her and lived in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her, when they look at the smoke from the burning of her, while they stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say, ‘Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgment has arrived!' Revelation 18:9-10
Let's see... no more drug and alcohol abuse? Ummmm... Jehovah's Witnesses are some of THE foremost drug and alcohol abusers on the planet, dear one. Closet abusers, true... but since alcohol is the only "vice" they're permitted, they tend to go at it with great fervor. AND... I have NEVER seen so many "housewives" of the same group on antidepressants. And both are quite understandable: the men are forced to be tyrants in their own homes (because they have no "power" any where else in the world, certainly not as janitors and window washers, no offense intended)... and the women are forced to be insipid, brain-dead, puerile sub-humans who can't make some of the elementary decisions in their own households. True, most don't adhere to those tenents, but that's what the alcohol and antidepressants are for: to "numb" the conscience. Unfortunately, they also lead to other forms of immorality... much of which is closeted, as well.
OK... Spew a bunch of slanderous, unsubstantiated garbage you conjured in your warped imagination and maybe someone reading will lick it all up verbatim. Do you have any evidence to present?
Hate-campaigns. Seriously? The general undertone and underlying "message" of Jehovah's Witnesses is one of THE great "hate" campaigns on the planet today. It is a campaign that says, "Either you be like us, think like us, speak like us, dress like us, live like us... and worship like us... or God is going to destroy you. And He's not going to do it nicely, no, He's going to burn you body like a charcoal briquette, WHILE you're alive... and then I'm going to live in your house. Oh, and if your kid, spouse, parent, brother, sister, etc., don't agree with you when you agree with us, and you still talk to them... He's gonna burn them... and you, too." If that's not hate, then I don't know what is...
Just about all religions in Christendom have apocalyptic teachings of one kind or another. Jehovah's Witnesses simply proclaim what the Bible states about God's pronouncements against the wicked.
That is why the wicked ones will not stand up in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of righteous ones. For Jehovah is taking knowledge of the way of righteous ones, But the very way of wicked ones will perish. Psalm 1:5-6
Violent crime. I don't know if YOU would call this a "violent" crime, but I would say any person who would step over their own flesh who lay dying in the street... or in the hospital... or in an apartment... or at home... because they don't worship the God that you do... has committed a very violent "crime." I would say that anyone who is more concerned about whether THEY will live... rather than whether their CHILD will live... so that they will withhold their own life... by means of withholding their own BLOOD... which IS the life of any living being... is guilty of a violent crime. I would say that both are worse than the robbers who violently beat the Jew so that he lay almost dead in the road before he was found by one who did NOT worship as that Jew did (after being passed over by those who DID worship as he did)... yet, had pity and compassion and so stopped to help him and in doing so saved his life. I would say that anyone who WOULDN'T stop for his fellow man... or give his life on behalf of his friend, spouse, child, parent, etc.... which might only be giving such one a pint of one's life that is one's blood... even if that friend, spouse, child, parent, etc. was "disfellowshipped"... is guilty of a violent crime.
Actually, "slave of Christ," God has the power to resurrect human life or are you not a faithful slave of Christ? Christendom's churches have no faith in God's ability to cure infirmities and restore humanity to perfection.
And war. According to the WTBTS teachings, some JWs ARE actually going to engage in war, at some point, right? Don't they have these "riding into battle" and "battling" with Christ? They do, because they have NO clue what that symbolic event is all about. But since they teach it, I don't think we can say there'll be no war. At least, not at first.
No, Jehovah's Witnesses will never physically participate in warfare even during the great tribulation. Their warfare is spiritual.
Fight the fine fight of the faith, get a firm hold on the everlasting life for which you were called and you offered the fine public declaration in front of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12
Which leaves terrorism. Okay. If everybody was a Jehovah's Witness there'd be no terrorism. Maybe. You'd have to count out the fake Jehovah's Witnesses, though (which I am sure there would be a lot of; there are now) 'cause no one can really say WHAT they'd be inclined to do.
This nonsense doesn't merit a response.
