"A collection of quotes from literature published by the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society [...] This research and information web site is devoted to collecting and preserving interesting and/or significant quotes from the publications of the Watch Tower Society, without additional commentary or editorial, for the purpose of scholarship and research."
Nothing at all is more damning to any religion than that its followers actually read the texts it claims are holy. The Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society (aka Jehovah's Witnesses) have been publishing and freely distributing their magazines for over one hundred years. But although they claim to be publishing the truth and distributing it door to door to anyone they can, they didn't hestitate to initiate a lawsuit against a Web site that quotes them accurately, in context and with full citations. Because it seems that the WTBTS has said some things that they aren't too proud of now. See what they have to say about race, women, germ theory, space travel and blood. Oh my, do they have something to say about blood. Mainly that it is better to let children die than to give them a chance at living if it involves a blood transfusion. Go take a look at what these people advocate, right from the horse's mouth, before this Web page is taken down by the courts. Then tell me again why these people are considered enough of a public good to evade taxation.
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."
