Attacking The Church

"All the rulers of the earth, particularly of 'Christendom', so called, arespiritual fornicators." Defending and Legally Establishing the Good News, 1950 ed., p.60

"The Supreme Court of the United States held that one of Jehovah's witnesses could not be convicted for playing a phonograph record which 'embodies a general attack upon all organized religious systems as instruments of Satan and injurious to man' and 'singles out the Roman Catholic Church for strictures couched in terms which naturally would offend not only persons of that persuasion, but all others who respect the honestly held religious faith of their fellows.'"

"Outside the true Christian congregation, what alternative organization is there? Only Satan's organization consisting of his political 'wild beast' and his Babylonian world empire of false religion."

" Over the last seven decades, in conjunction with proclaiming the glorious hope of Jehovah's incoming Kingdom, Jehovah's Witnesses have spread around the world a veritable flood of denunciation and judgment. In hundreds of millions of frank, hard-hitting Bible-based publications, they have exposed Christendom as the most powerful force in the religious whore, 'Babylon the Great,' denounced in Revelation chapters 17 and 18. (See 'Babylon the Great Has Fallen! God's Kingdom Rules!', pages 576-615, published in 1963 by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.)"

"In accordance with the prophetic vision, Babylon the Great is the great whore that has led nations, peoples, and tribes into bloody wars, crusades, and vendettas, blessing them with incantations, holy water, prayers, and fiery patriotic speeches.&emdash;Revelation 18:24. Her clergy, especially her chaplains, have been willing tools of the rulers in herding the masses as cannon fodder into the slaughter of two world wars and other major conflicts. Catholic has killed Catholic, and Protestant has dutifully massacred Protestant, with a loss of some 50 to 60 million lives in just the two world wars."
