Jehovah's Witnesses, the Watchtower and Hatred
                     by Thomas Carl McCaskey

The WTBTS's own publication, the Watchtower, taught hatred against
ALL non-Jehovah's Witnesses in direct opposition to Jesus's
teaching. In Matthew 5:44 Jesus clearly said this concerning one's
enemies:

        "But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that 
        curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them
        which despitefully use you, and persecute you."

In Luke 6:27 we are taught that Jesus said

        "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good
        to them which hate you."

This sentiment is repeated once again in Luke 6:35.

So what did the Watchtower teach about THEIR enemies? Let's read
directly from their OWN publication:

[Watchtower, October 1, 1952 pps. 596 to 604]

    "Haters of God and His people [Jehovah's Witnesses] are to be
    hated, but this does not mean that we will take any opportunity
    of bringing physical hurt to them in a spirit of malice or
    spite, for both malice and spite belong to the Devil, whereas
    pure hatred does not. We must hate in the truest sense, which
    is to regard with extreme and active aversion, to consider as
    loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest. Surely any haters of God
    are not fit to live on His beautiful earth. The earth will be
    rid of the wicked and we shall not need to lift a finger to
    cause physical harm to come to them, for God will attend to
    that, but we must have a proper perspective of these enemies.
    His name signifies recompense to His enemies."

Within this very article, the Watchtower specifies that "His
people" refers to Jehovah's Witnesses only. So therefore, it
becomes very obvious that the Watchtower is the hypocritical
organization that teaches something that is DIRECTLY in opposition
to Jesus's teaching. Jehovah's Witnesses have been shown this
before and they avoid this in shame since they could not and still
cannot refute this.

If you are a Jehovah's Witness, let me ask you this simple
question; do you follow the Watchtower or Jesus? According to the
Bible, you can't serve TWO masters (Matthew 6:24) so you can only
choose one. Jesus taught us to love our enemies; the Watchtower
teaches hate. Why follow an organization that teaches something
that is in direct opposition to Jesus's teaching? I pray that God
will open your eyes to God's Truth and break away from the
Watchtower's lies.
