And so are EVERY OTHER Religious organization which
condoned sending troops to fight in wars through out the ages.
“Thow shalt not kill” Exodus 20:13
No person in the history of mankind, who headed a large
political or religious organization has NOT failed to blast that
one all to hell.
Yeah the Catholics have their problems, but show me just
ONE organization on earth run by Government, Religion, or
common man that doesn’t.

Not trying to stir things up, but I think there is "ONE" worldwide religion that can stake claim and deserves a little historical credit. The JW's claim they are politically neutral and it is against their bible based religion to kill their fellow man. I remember there was a guy at a body shop who painted a car for me a few years ago, that was a JW. He told me of his and his fellow believers imprisonment during the Vietnam War because of his religious beliefs. I totally gained respect for him and his religion after actually talking to him and hearing about his story and also the Nazi WW2 stories. Below are some Google links.
