This article is a doozy. It has many points of interest that carefully play on words, and emotionally manipulate the reader. It really is something.

Pay special attention to paragraphs 6, 7, 9, 10, 17, and 18.

These paragraphs clearly highlight anyone who is not an active JW will be judged a goat and be killed. Also, spectacularly, those paragraphs point that if you want to be judged a sheep, meaning to not be killed by God imminently, you need to a)recognize the divine authority of the Governing Body, b) obey the organization unquestioningly, c) preach to recruit new members, and d) give financially to the organization.

This article sealed the deal for me. I'm sorry but only a cult would wield the fear of divine destruction to demand divinity status, loyalty, obedience, and money.

Chapter 21, Paragraph 17

Here we are told that the goats, who are comprised of everyone from kings to slaves, will be sent to everlasting cutting off.

This material is great for discussing how a God of Love could murder billions:

Armageddon - A Happy Beginning

This wonderful article is a real gem. It compares the murder of billions of human beings, including children, to a home owner exterminating pests. I kid you not. They use the word pest when describing the destruction of people. Real people.
