The Watchtower Bible And Tract Society (WTBTS) has a long and do***ented
history of teaching unBiblical things. The following is yet another
example
of WTBTS teaching in opposition to Scripture.

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 op****tunity
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."
[brackets mine TCM]
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.
