Jehovah-- not Politicians -- Protects Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses

 "In last week's Watchtower [are] found a few paragraphs of interest. In paragraphs 15-17 it mentioned the brothers and sisters of the Nazi era and their faithfulness. Interesting that this should be in that issue, as it was 75 years ago, 1945, to the month that WWII ended and [JWs] were freed from Nazi persecution. The JV book [(Jehovah's Witnesses -- Proclaimers of God's Kingdom (1993))] said, “The following year, 1946, the brothers in Germany arranged for a convention in Nuremberg. They were granted the use of the Zeppelinwiese, Hitler’s former parade grounds . . . The final day of that convention proved to be one when sentences were to be announced at the war-crimes trials there in Nuremberg . . . [JWs] saw the hand of Jehovah in what was taking place. At the very time that men [(viz., 24 of the most important political and military leaders of the Third Reich)] representing a regime that had tried to exterminate them were being sentenced [-- 12 sentenced to death, 7 sentenced to prison from 10 years to life, 3 acquitted, and 2 not charged --], Jehovah’s Witnesses were meeting to worship Jehovah at the place where Hitler had put on some of his most spectacular displays of Nazi power....

"In the 1980’s in Israel a well known and extremely controversial figure, Meir Kahane [(see photo below)] was active in Israeli and American news. Kahane was an American born Israeli Orthodox rabbi, writer, and ultra-orthodox politician who served in the Knesset. He had militant views and was an influence in far-right political groups today in Israel. Back in 1968 he was a co-founder of the JDL, Jewish Defense League. He was militant in his religious and political views from top to bottom. He inspired much violence.

"In the 80’s while he was in Israel, a missionary who had been a Brooklyn Bethelite, . . . recounted [that] Kahane who was in the news a lot, said of Jehovah’s Witnesses that, ‘he would push [them] into the sea.’ Yet just a few years afterwards in 1990 in New York he was assassinated by a naturalized Egyptian. God's people are still there [in Israel] and growing due to Jehovah’s blessing. How about that?

"[One of JWs] on the Branch committee . . . recalled that one evening at the Telaviv [sic; should read "Tel Aviv"] Bethel, Kahane was the guest speaker at a Haradi demonstration across the street saying that “the building [(the Branch Office for JWs in Israel)] should be burnt down on it’s inhabitants.""

Now, where is Kahane? Murdered. And what about Israeli JWs whom Kahane wanted to see burned alive? Stronger than ever before!
