From Chapter 3.

Waiting for the World to Die.

…the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, which, though it makes no claim of infallibility, nevertheless excommunicates anyone who comes to conclusions independent of its own. (Pg.61). As an anointed son of God, I too have proved that they excommunicate anyone obeying the Word of God to the letter, and anyone denouncing their rebellious dispositions and apostasy. (2 Cor 10:4,5).

Since Russell's time, nothing has changed... their homes reek with the stale smell of religiosity religion by rote, dogma uninformed by the energy of spiritual passion. (Pg.61). This last observation I also have personally witnessed.

Depression among Witnesses is widespread, as are tight-lipped repressed familial animosities for which there is no appropriate outlet. (Pg.67). The reason for this is that from the outset JW members are indoctrinated with the belief that to disassociate themselves from self-appointed unsealed JW 'elders' (and their sanctimonious platitudes) would be to commit social suicide. But you who have a love of the truth must realize that the spiritual truths contained in the "Little Scroll" from our Lord are your means of escape, and that the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses are in fact the final part of satan's spiritistic "Babylon". So as the Lord commanded: "Get out of her, My people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues." (Rev 18:4).

From Chapter 4.

Accumulating Wealth While the
World Refuses to Die.

Russell sued the Eagle (newspaper) for libel, demanding $100,000 in damages for "injury to his reputation, good name, fame and standing."… There were several bizarre aspects to the trial... Russell's doctrines held, by the Court, to be relevant to the libel were held up for ridicule. One dogma, in particular, brought delight to the pastor's antagonists. This was the Pastor's conceit that "old worthies" such as King David, Moses, Solomon, et al., were due for resurrection before 1914 to rule as princes in the earth. One of the juicier allegations made against the Watch Tower Society was that it had coerced an insane man, Hope Hay, into contributing $10,000 to its funds. William E. Van Amburgh, secretary treasurer of the Watch Tower Society, acknowledged that Mr. Hay was in an "insane asylum" and that the Watch Tower Society was footing his bills, but denied that Mr. Hay had not given his money of his own free will. (Pg.76,77). What free will can an insane man possibly have?

I have a clear memory (which, unfortunately, I cannot document) of the excommunication of two Witness missionaries, in the late 1940s, who had taken it upon themselves, without a directive from the Watchtower Society, to introduce to starving agrarian workers in Southeast Asia better ways of growing rice. Their actions were construed as a dereliction of duty their duty was to preach the gospel. The Witnesses have consistently taken the position that the greatest act of charity is the preaching of the gospel; they have no mandate to engage in "social reform." (Page 79). How does one preach to the starving?
