   This person spouts what is the talking points for the current time put out by   
   the JW ORG,   
      
   They claim to be Jehovahs witnesses, yet they speak constently of JESUS.   
      
   They say that Jehovah is God, but Jesus is Not. They teach of Jesus, trying   
   to deceive others that they are "Christian" but they say they are JW's, GO   
   FIGURE!   
      
   JWO's wolves in sheep's clothing.   
      
   Their financial institutions are clamed to be worth Billions and invest in   
   war companies to reap a huge profit, yet like other cults they do not pay   
   their workers. Unless you are special, to at the top.   
      
   Makes you wonder about how bright they are.
