PROVE that  ( Pick your favorite pet selection and put here ____________________________ ) is the Biblical  "King of the North" ... and if you can't ... you get stuck with Santa Clause.

I thought Santa Clause was the "King of the North"?
Or is that only during the month of December?

Yep.

Two different women came forward in 2018 with stories of repeated sexual abuse during their childhood by adult members of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
One woman, Romy Maple, said she was repeatedly drugged and sexually abused by the same man starting when she was 4 years old. She said other members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses ignored her efforts to alert them to the abuse.
Years later, Maple appeared prominently in the A&E documentary series, “Cults and Extreme Belief,” which brought her story to national attention. Maple has since launched a nonprofit, 707SAFE — which stands for Sexual Assault Fighters Elite — offering “coaching, transitional and transformational support” to fellow survivors of child sexual abuse, according to Maple’s GoFundMe page.
Another woman, who gave her name as Sister Star, said she was drugged, filmed and sexually abused at a Eureka hotel by a family friend and fellow member of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She said her grandfather and other men did the same to her months before, and further said her stepfather sexually abused her throughout her childhood years.
Sister Star came forward with her story of sexual abuse in August. (Jose Quezada — The Times-Standard file)   As in Maple’s case, Sister Star said elders of the Jehovah’s Witnesses took no action to help her.
Jehovah’s Witnesses World Headquarters offered the Times-Standard the following comment earlier this year:
“Jehovah’s Witnesses abhor child abuse and view it as a crime. (Romans 12:9)” the document states. “We recognize that the authorities are responsible for addressing such crimes. (Romans 13:1-4) The elders do not shield any perpetrator of child abuse from the authorities.”
No criminal action has been taken in either Maple or Sister Star’s cases due to existing statute-of-limitations laws. In 2016, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a bill dismissing the statute of limitations for crimes of rape, sexual assault and other sexual offenses committed in 2017 and onward.

Jehovah's Witness Organization Redefines Shunning to Falsely.mp4 Every JW visiting this page should MORALLY comment below and publicly state that this JW Lawyer is LYING through his teeth to the Canadian Supreme Court.
If you don't, YOU participate in this gross sin. Because you ALL KNOW this is a false statement.
Remember as well that this JW Lawyer is also an Officer of the Court.
What the courts do not know is that JW's consider outright lying in court a part of "theocratic warfare" just like Muslims do. So it is a virtue to them.

SMH.
Can you spell P-E-R-J-U-R-Y?

“The Witness organization has said that it does not instruct parents not to associate with their disfellowshipped children. But they have produced a video of specific circumstances in which a parent ignores a phone call from one of them. What to make of this? Detractors will say that they are lying through their teeth with the first statement. I think not. I think they should be taken at their word—parents will reach their own decisions on the degree of contact they choose to maintain, since they can best assess extenuating circumstances. It becomes their decision—whether they find some or none at all. Specifically, what the Witness publications do is point out that there is no reason per se that normal counsel to avoid contact with those disfellowshipped is negated simply because there are family connections. That is not the same as “telling” families to break contact. It may seem like splitting hairs, but the difference is important.
“That statement finds further support in the many Witnesses who have departed and subsequently report that, though they were never disfellowshipped, they still find themselves estranged from the family mix. Effectively, they are "shunned" without any announcement at all, evidence that a "cult" is not telling parents what to do, but it is their appreciation for Bible counsel that triggers that course. The specific mechanics of avoiding associations with those who have spun 180-degrees on prior spiritual convictions may be arguable, but the general principle is not. When no verbal direction is given, Witnesses defer to the general principle, so it becomes plain that it was the general principle all along, rather than the commands of eight tyrannical men at headquarters. “What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?” says Paul, referring to two polar-opposite worlds and those who would choose between them.”
 

Clinical Psychologist Discusses Jehovah's Witnesses
“Fear tactics and the promotion of hate...” So much for the religion of love. It really is the religion of fear and hate, I’ve known this for years. Glad to see a psychotherapist state it!

There is a children’s video put out by JW Broadcasting entitled, “Make Jehovah Happy”. After watching it a few times the scene of Jesus tempted by Satan in the wilderness became progressively more disturbing to me. I thought I’d tell you why.
Satan begins by saying, “If you are A son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” Matt 4:3 NWT The majority of other translations say, “THE Son of God”.  Satan obviously knew Jesus was THE Son of God.  Is Satan using the Watchtower as his avenue, makes subtle taunting hints disclosing his hatred for Jesus?  There is another facet to the NWT’s phrase, “if you are A son of God”, which could refer to the anointed sons of God, and their time of testing “in the wilderness” by Satan. These “living stones” of God’s Temple can only become living “bread”, one loaf with Christ, by relying on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. John 6:35,33,51; John 8:51; 1 Cor 10:14-17; John 15:4,5,15     https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+6%3A35%2C33%2C51%3B+John+8%3A51%3B+1+Cor+10%3A14-17%3B+John+15%3A4%2C5%2C15&version=CSB
Pearl Doxsey:
 “God allows all those called to be His sons, to be tried by the devil (Luke22:31,46; Eph.6:12-13; 1Pet.5:8-9; 2Cor.11:3,13-14,4,20;Rev.2:20,10; Col.2:8; Eph.5:6; Matt.24:4; James1:13-14; Job 1:6,8-12,22; 27:6; 13:18; 31:6; James5:10-11) (Rev.13:10;Luke21:24; Matt.5:13; Rev.11:2).  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke22%3A31%2C46%3B+Eph.6%3A12-13%3B+1Pet.5%3A8-9%3B+2Cor.11%3A3%2C13-14%2C4%2C20%3BRev.2%3A20%2C10%3B+Col.2%3A8%3B+Eph.5%3A6%3B+Matt.24%3A4%3B+James1%3A13-14%3B+Job+1%3A6%2C8-12%2C22%3B+27%3A6%3B+13%3A18%3B+31%3A6%3B+James5%3A10-11)+(Rev.13%3A10%3BLuke21%3A24%3B+Matt.5%3A13%3B+Rev.11%3A2&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR3rEgWRrdgSgz8qRdQdOSdzju-sxIotfh6i_nh4e52LBsrwxUeixSZdHeo
It is our opportunity to rise and meet the occasion, and to PROVE whose sons we truly are.
If we belong to Christ, we will, like him, endure in faithfulness, by obeying God throughout our trials. In doing so, we are spiritually branded and sealed, as servants of God "(Deut.11:18; Rev.14:4-5; 22:4,3; Heb.8:10; Deut.11:18; 1Pet.2:10,9).” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deut.11%3A18%3B+Rev.14%3A4-5%3B+22%3A4%2C3%3B+Heb.8%3A10%3B+Deut.11%3A18%3B+1Pet.2%3A10%2C9&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR3ZUlk5YdrEX86KrbIH8ioRgB8Yb4kmteiMEG2DwJ420L5hArK2LQwWfrs
In the video, Jesus answers, “it is written, man must not live on bread alone.“ But, the scripture in full reads, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. ”
Is this possible in the Watchtower? No. JWs cannot truly say they survive on every word that comes from God’s mouth, since their “bread” are the “words” from uninspired governing body members, and made with the same recipe the Pharisees used – the leaven of deceit. Matt 16:6-12; Mark 13:22  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt+16%3A6-12%3B+Mark+13%3A22&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR0PyToU9Au5Cgfthw5cfiZhgPthmRAlnBj8IC8TXT0TfTMpXBzLIVLHakQ
A troubling part follows, when Satan has taken Jesus to a pinnacle of the temple. Satan says, “if you are a son of God, throw yourself down”. The video shows Jesus falling backward off the temple wall while Satan’s voice is heard, “for the angels will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’” Two angels return Jesus to the top of the temple. Behind Jesus’ back and in a sinister voice, Satan says, “PROVE IT TO THEM”. I showed this part to my husband, and he immediately said, “but Jesus didn’t do that”. Why would the makers of this video for children, even remotely entertain the possibility of Jesus falling from the temple heights?  Well, who is it that desires to see Jesus conquered at the end of the days? Gen 3:15; Rev 12:7 Who has the ability to fabricate lies and call them “good”? This video could likely be considered by JWs as a blessing from God, but is it? Isa 5:20,21; 2 Pet 2:1-3   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen+3%3A15%3B+Rev+12%3A7%3B+Isa+5%3A20%2C21%3B+2+Pet+2%3A1-3&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR1mrN2e3EoSHbLTG9wnQkMl59xfZ0gwG8kiaqWi9vlh8busE3zcgjFHw90
Today, the “Temple of God” is the Body of Christ, his priesthood built with living stones. 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17 Are the anointed sons of God being tempted by Satan to fall away from God’s Temple, the anointed Body of Christ? 2 Cor 6:14-18  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Pet+2%3A5%2C9%3B+1+Cor+3%3A16%2C17%3B+2+Cor+6%3A14-18&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR1QbLFUkqCU7yvJGA-snerRXY3SQjGkBFi_pCUpogbaZzcG_BGMKremdpQ
Watchtower 16/1 pp. 22-27 – “In addition, anointed Christians do not view themselves as being part of an elite club. THEY DO NOT SEEK OUT OTHERS WHO CLAIM TO HAVE THE SAME CALLING, HOPING TO BOND WITH THEM endeavoring to form private groups for Bible study.”
Please JWs, do not listen to the lies of men and their demonic expressions, (Rev 16:13,14) but let God’s inspired Word teach you about the anointed ones. Paul tells us why it is imperative that the Temple/Body bonds with one another:
"But as it is, GOD has arranged each one of the parts in the body JUST AS HE WANTED. 19 And if they were all the same part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” Or again, the head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that are weaker are indispensable. 23 And those parts of the body that we consider less honorable, we clothe these with greater honor, and our unrespectable parts are treated with greater respect, 24 which our respectable parts do not need.
Instead, God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the less honorable, 25 so that there would be NO DIVISION IN THE BODY, but that the members would have the same concern for each other. 26 So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it." 1 Cor 12:18-26  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev+16%3A13%2C14&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR2t2Szy7kCQINTwvyqQqzNS4ys3eVUkmjoqSv5Qaqd_5sAdJQEM6mke5NM
This is only possible if the members of God’s Household recognize who its members are!  Eph 2:18-22 The Watchtower has ignored “God’s handiwork”, by successfully tearing it down before your eyes, while it builds its empire in literal stone. Eph 2:10; Isa 3:8,9  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eph+2%3A18-22%3B+Eph+2%3A10%3B+Isa+3%3A8%2C9&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR39TRzdD7e2Y84sAji6umYFuUSqmGmzyvrFeEeZwpkkiNHDUkzTcpf_a3k
“…so that you may not strike your foot against a stone”. Satan is quoting from Ps 91 which emphasizes our true security and protection is “in the shadow of the Almighty”.   In Ps 91:12, the word “stone” is from the root meaning “to build”.  It seems obvious from the WT quote, that Jesus, the chief cornerstone of God’s House, has become a “stone of stumbling” for the anointed in the WT. Isa 28:16  Jesus is not accepted as the one and only Head of the Body. Instead, obedience must be given to the governing body and their elders BEFORE considering any obedience to Christ. Matt 24:48-51; Luke 22:24-27; Rev 13:14-17  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isa+28%3A16%3B+Matt+24%3A48-51%3B+Luke+22%3A24-27%3B+Rev+13%3A14-17&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR2FRnpA_DLdMzCSbzHfmwrepiEAEDvTBu5m9qU844Rqch8BaSzTkcWuiV4
In the video, Satan taunts, “prove it to them”. Are the anointed thoroughly convinced they have God’s protection by complying with the “decree” outlined in the WT quote above, choosing men’s lies over the truth in scripture?  Have they attempted to “prove it”; prove that all is well for them spiritually, by boldly proclaiming before God and the angels that “Jehovah’s organization” is their safety net?  In reality, these “living stones” have fallen from the Temple and from the truth of God’s laws in Christ.  They lie scattered and disconnected from their true Head, Jesus Christ. Heb 2:1; John 14:6; 1 Tim 4:1  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Heb+2%3A1%3B+John+14%3A6%3B+1+Tim+4%3A1&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR152B4nHrFIOvW7BffISULpYpGp7lPPrwFVaziVTRVC7FczFzUjI77banw
From Pearl Doxsey’s article, “Lukewarm”, “Hot” or “Cold”:
At Rev.3:15,16 Jesus said to his anointed Congregation...
"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
"Heat" symbolizes zeal for truth (Rom.12:11; Acts 18:25).   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rom.12%3A11%3B+Acts+18%3A25&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR19hQNVNnXF5Fiqk7Tb3gMjv5rlLIzLsR3p7BYotyXW4lYC52A5oSIdlQI
That zeal can exist, but be misguided (Rom.10:2; Acts 21:20; Rom.9:31; 10:3). https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rom.10%3A2%3B+Acts+21%3A20%3B+Rom.9%3A31%3B+10%3A3&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR2TX861hMddo9JCIuR_z7869dR_IqZ6aKQPWZ1AEpAUUNg0DaPwZLV-lbU
This can happen to the anointed, when they are looking at establishing their OWN righteousness; BY RITUALS, TRADITIONS, ARRANGEMENTS, AND COMMANDS OF MEN; rather than seeking the righteousness OF GOD, through submission and obedience to Him   (Matt.6:33; 7:21; Rom.2:29).  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.6%3A33%3B+7%3A21%3B+Rom.2%3A29&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR0pIXgSU2RFg7rbW2WUGl0etLJ6OqpViHpC4ryVFiQa_PDPh06pWysdhvU
This mistake results in stumbling (Rom.9:32,33; Matt.11:6).  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rom.9%3A32%2C33%3B+Matt.11%3A6&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR2eBs3iEtQiL2oofs90sePUEa8dd-5e2YEtZ0Ar0o94vFrjQxX0kFUHRPM
That stone is Christ (Isa.28:16; 8:14; Matt.7:24; 21:42; Rom.9:33; Zech.3:9)   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isa.28%3A16%3B+8%3A14%3B+Matt.7%3A24%3B+21%3A42%3B+Rom.9%3A33%3B+Zech.3%3A9&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR1URyl6Ocnk8itInTM3V_7pOpO6JYs_JjB211Fv2om0DqnnMvKByeKLdOA
In the video, Jesus replied to Satan’s challenge by saying, “Again, it is written, you must not put Jehovah your God to the test.” Matt 4:7
It is interesting that Jesus quoted a verse from Deut chapter 6. Notice the circumstances that prompted these words of Moses.
"Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you, 15 for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God. Otherwise, the Lord your God will become angry with you and obliterate you from the face of the earth. 16 Do not test the Lord your God as you tested him at Massah. Deut 6:14-16
“Jehovah’s organization” is another “god”, JWs, built as any other organization in the world, using all of its assets; although, this one is taught as “spirit-directed” where you can find refuge and shelter from the same world that it exists in. This is quite a paradox, isn’t it? 1 John 5:19; Rev 13:1,11,15  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=%3F+++1+John+5%3A19%3B+Rev+13%3A1%2C11%2C15&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR37MXM0cPCRpmwZiS6keZ-myBRXOIWtSOitAY-bNHgYI9O--9dRWHvNrg4
Kingdom Ministry, 5/84, pp. 3-6: “Many have escaped from satanic influence and have sought REFUGE IN Jehovah’s theocratic ORGANIZATION.”
This is nothing more than a psychological trap, which anointed and all, have fallen for. Jer 5:26; Rev 13:4  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jer+5%3A26%3B+Rev+13%3A4&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR3xRisIkIRTgpUz9Qzmbybo_3GgV-msVeVHlTRlFritDjv2HJVxO_4YH1c
 
Next, the video sweeps past several rock buildings and centers on what appears to be a temple of Asian influence and design. Jesus finds himself quickly inside an expansive room of sculptured pillars and long red curtains hanging from above; the color similar to what I have seen draped behind governing body members during broadcasts of annual meetings. Or I liken it the rich hues and decorated pillars that embellish the inside of the organization's Stanley Theater, a desirable place for conventions.
A running red carpet leads to a red throne where Satan reclines. He is seen gulping down the last wine from a golden goblet which is then tossed empty, across the room.
“Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
That they may follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
12 The harp and the strings,
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
BUT THEY DO NOT REGARD THE WORK OF THE LORD,
NOR CONSIDER THE OPERATION OF HIS HANDS.
13 Therefore MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY,
Because THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE;
Their honorable men are FAMISHED,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. Isa 5:11-14
Satan offers Jesus a large roomful of golden utensils and statues; one being a haughty, stout looking individual with outstretched arms, standing on a pedestal. There is just something familiar about him. Isa 5:15,21 Satan reveals images of buildings in his opened palm which he offers to Jesus.  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isa+5%3A15%2C21&version=NKJV&fbclid=IwAR15vzs8LSIlA08V99DHZohOAiDR0eLow5lXIecTmmz7UmYyZ9JI1bkYRmY
He exclaims, 
“See all this glory! It is MINE and I give it to whomever I wish. And all these things, I will give to you, if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.”
In an article about the Stanley Theater's renovation, a JW said,
“We automatically assign a SACREDNESS TO THE BUILDING BECAUSE OF OUR WORSHIP,” said Warren, of Witness Assembly Halls. “Having this space adds to the grandeur of why we are here.”
Without a doubt, this statement exudes pure idolatry.
“Come, descendants of Jacob,
let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6 You, Lord, have abandoned your people,
the descendants of Jacob.
They are full of superstitions from the EAST;
they practice divination like the Philistines
and embrace PAGAN CUSTOMS.
7 Their land is full of SILVER AND GOLD;
THERE IS NO END TO THEIR TREASURES.
Their land is full of horses;
there is no end to their chariots.
8 THEIR LAND IS FULL OF IDOLS;
THEY BOW DOWN TO THE WORK OF THEIR HANDS,
TO WHAT THEIR FINGERS HAVE MADE.” 
9 So people will be brought low
and everyone humbled—
do not forgive them. Isa 2:5-9
Please, stop and think, JWs. What is the organization built on? Money from heaven? Would Jesus eventually influence Satan to give up his gold to finance false worship centered around “temples” at the end of the days? Does he recognize any “temple” other than his Body, a living Temple in the anointed ones? Do you really believe Jesus would coerce JWs to finance this folly when he rejected what Satan offered him while on earth? Matt 19:21; 6:20   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt+19%3A21%3B+6%3A20+&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR1x0-j8eRajsbdX7VifbIROQceVCp1_PkREW8mFS799_1GeeePCVpbkdNw
Are you getting the idea? Behind Watchtower’s pious demeanor is the unquenchable desire for riches and power motivating the organization’s leaders to ask YOU to foster their idolatrous claims.
In a news article about the Stanley Theater, a JW stated,
“We are largely self-financed,” said Robert Warren, media consultant for the World Headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses, NOTING THAT THE PROJECT WAS FUNDED BY INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS FROM WITNESSES ACROSS THE WORLD. “Whoever wants to build a tower must first count the cost,” he cited biblically, attributing the successful funding to strategic planning. “Rather than start and escalate, we evaluate first.”
This is a tell-all statement.
The cited scripture is from Luke 14:
“Now as Jesus proceeded on his journey, great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and spoke to them,
“If anyone comes to me without ‘hating’ his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be a disciple of mine. The man who will not take up his cross (“figuratively, exposure to death, i.e. self-denial”) and follow in my footsteps cannot be my disciple.
28-30 “If any of you wanted to build a tower, wouldn’t he first sit down and work out the cost of it, to see if he can afford to finish it? Otherwise, when he has laid the foundation and found himself unable to complete the building, everyone who sees it will begin to jeer at him, saying, ‘This is the man who started to build a tower but couldn’t finish it!’
In the foregoing scriptures Jesus is not talking about building and repairing physical assets, but he is speaking of the cost and consequences of FOLLOWING HIM! Are the leaders of the WT., who delegate their pagan building endeavors, true disciples of Christ?  No.   1 John 2:19; Jude 1:12,13; Matt 7:18,20; Rev 8:10,11  They are attached to their ever-increasing pagan idols, and desire your money, JWs, to keep financing their “towers”. Jer 22:13-17; Isa 5:8,9   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+John+2%3A19%3B+Jude+1%3A12%2C13%3B+Matt+7%3A18%2C20%3B+Rev+8%3A10%2C11%3B+Jer+22%3A13-17%3B+Isa+5%3A8%2C9+&version=NKJV&fbclid=IwAR398AYdmn5J2QBEOBlPDpt5Sz8K_Nw26nqqq_Uu5O6f-_3q3i2oGKWW8k4
Can you discern that the CORNERSTONE of God’s true Temple has not only been rejected by your leaders, but is a source of stumbling for the anointed, and for you, JWs?  Jesus and his living stones have been replaced with an idol. 1 Pet 2:6-8   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Pet+2%3A6-8&version=NKJV&fbclid=IwAR36hv2NfavH1z78oseqrGZXQ17bAiP1LhIncLvtYTs6Pdb9Vc0WYerslrg
Jesus answered Satan; “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and SERVE HIM ONLY.”
Under the spiritual influence of the Mastermind of deception, a false prophet/ spiritual Harlot and her Beast/organization has captivated and seduced the anointed and companions; making jest at the same time of Jesus’ testing in the wilderness, through the children’s video.    All financial support and “worship” given to this organization upholds one goal; to keep all within, blind and drunk on the “Harlot’s wine”, and far from the daylight of Christ. 1 Thess 5:4-7; 2 Thess 2:9-12; Rev 12:3,4; 13:1,6,7  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Thess+5%3A4-7%3B+2+Thess+2%3A9-12%3B+Rev+12%3A3%2C4%3B+13%3A1%2C6%2C7&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR3tFyJ5X2MZD3XbYNoSTrkZVRaBxHVcyjO_vxG6TpYrt1IlLo3u6rIGdWQ
Please, walk away from it. Stand for Truth found in Christ’s Words. Mark 8:35  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+8%3A35&version=CSB&fbclid=IwAR349ta6vb98HJHTZ8QbausJnfs8KuwO5C9imM8_yYRze-qmCwcYZVO92Bs
Hear the word of the Lord, people of Israel,
for the Lord has a case
against the inhabitants of the land:
There is no truth, no faithful love,
and no knowledge of God in the land!
4 But let no one dispute; let no one argue,
for my case is against you priests. 
5 You will stumble by day;
the prophet will also stumble with you by night.
And I will destroy your mother (“Israel”).
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I will reject you from serving as my priest.
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I will also forget your sons.
7 The more they multiplied,
the more they sinned against me.
I will change their honor into disgrace.
8 They feed on the sin of my people;
they have an appetite for their iniquity.
9 The same judgment will happen
to both people and priests. I will punish them for their ways
and repay them for their deeds.
10 They will eat but not be satisfied;
they will be promiscuous but not multiply.
For they have abandoned their devotion to the Lord.
11 Promiscuity, wine, and new wine
take away one’s understanding.
12 My people consult their wooden idols,
and their divining rods inform them.
For a spirit of promiscuity leads them astray;
they act promiscuously
in disobedience to their God. Hos 4:1,4-6,7-12

The Holocaust Victim Assets Litigation (Swiss Banks) CV-96-4849 is a fund to compensate people suffering from the Holocaust. As stated at swissbankclaims.com/index.asp (3 Mar 2006);

Early in 1933, the Watchtower office in Berlin was closed and Jehovah's Witnesses were banned in many German states. This was due to the refusal of Jehovah's Witnesses to swear loyalty to the government or to serve in its armed forces.
In an attempt to appease Hitler into lifting the ban, Rutherford instigated a Declaration of Fact sand sent a Letter to Hitler discussing the Watchtower's support of the Nazi regime.
"Therefore, on June 25, 1933, a declaration regarding their ministry and its objectives was adopted by Jehovah's Witnesses at an assembly in Berlin. Copies were sent to all the high government officials, and millions more were distributed to the public. Nevertheless, in July 1933 the courts refused to grant a hearing for relief. Early the following year, a personal letter regarding the situation was written by J. F. Rutherford to Adolf Hitler and delivered to him by special messenger. Then the entire worldwide brotherhood went into action. 
On Sunday morning, October 7, 1934, at nine o'clock, every group of Witnesses in Germany assembled. They prayed for Jehovah's guidance and blessing. Then each group sent a letter to German government officials declaring their firm determination to keep on serving Jehovah." - Jehovah's Witnesses - Proclaimer's Of God's Kingdom p.693
 
"Dear Reichskanzler, 
… 
The Brooklyn headquarter of the Watchtower Society is pro German in an exemplary way and has been so for many years. For that reason, in 1918, the president of the Society and seven members of the board of directors were sentenced to 80 years in prison, because the president refused to use two of the magazines published in America under his direction for war propaganda against Germany. These two magazines, "The Watchtower" and "Bible Student" were the only magazines in America which refused to engage in anti-German propaganda and for that reason were prohibited and suppressed in America during the war. 

In the very same manner, in course of the recent months the board of directors of our Society not only refused to engage in propaganda against Germany, but has even taken a position against it. The enclosed declaration underlines this fact and emphasizes that the people leading in such propaganda (Jewish businessmen and Catholics) also are the most rigorous persecutors of the work of our Society and its board of directors. This and other statements of the declaration are meant to repudiate the slanderous accusation, that Bible Researchers are supported by the Jews. 

The conference of five thousand delegates also noted - as is expressed in the declaration - that the Bible Researchers of Germany are fighting for the very same high ethical goals and ideals which also the national government of the German Reich proclaimed respecting the relationship of humans to God, namely: honesty of the created being towards its creator. 

The conference came to the conclusion that there are no contradictions when it comes to the relationship between the Bible Researchers of Germany to the national government of the German Reich. To the contrary, referring to the purely religious and unpolitical goals and efforts of the Bible Researchers, it can be said that these are in full agreement with the identical goals of the national government of the German Reich. 

... 

We are looking forward to your kind approval, which we hope to receive soon, and want to assure our highest respect to you, honorable Mr. Reichskanzler. 

Yours faithfully, 
Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society Magdeburg"

really, just kidding. It was just too tempting to pass up. .

Very long ago I heard an anecdote about the gun.
An older man was driving the car in the streets of Zagreb. Suddenly he must stop the car. In front of him there were some young people who blocked the road with their motorcycles. He came out and asked them to move motors, so he could pass. The guys started laughing and they told him; "Come on, grandpa, count us and see how many of us there are.
He returned to the car, took the gun, came back to them and asked; "From whom do I start counting?"

EXACTLY.
One time in Western Virginia, circa 1966, there was a race riot and people filled the streets, blocking traffic ... and I came upon them unexpectedly.  They stopped my car and I could not pass. 
VERY angry people.
I just took out my revolver, and put it on the dashboard of my car... and BEHOLD! ... the crowd parted like Moses marching through the sea ... and I went on my way.

100and10% true or 110% if we want be precise in writing :))))
Take me for example in this ..... I had never went on public sports events. So, i had never been drunk in a mass of people, never get punch, never screaming and  cheering for a team ....and many more.
Why? Because i was always "somewhere else". :))))

Benefactor - someone who giving money to WTS. Clear and sound :))))
cca 8 mil JW is/are benefactors + unknown number of other benefactors

People that have poor decision making ability, and never plan ahead ... are NEVER "somewhere else".
"Stuff Happens".

You're probably answering the wrong question.

@Jack Ryan You are not understanding that back then Jehovah's Witnesses did not see themselves as a religion in any way.
Times have changed.
We are now a fully fledged RELIGION. (whether you like us or not) 😎
