Jehovah’s Witnesses evangelize with anti-gay message

Posted on November 14, 2006 by Tim Schmoyer | Print This Post Print This Post

Last week I came home and found some material from [tag]Watchtower[/tag] stuffed in my apartment door. It’s interesting the see their approach to evangelism and how they communicate their religion to “unbelievers.” One paragraph in particular sticks out to me:

False religion tolerates immoral sex: In Western lands, church groups ordain gay and lesbian members of the clergy and urge governments to recognize same-sex marriages. Even churches that condemn immorality have tolerated religious leaders who have sexually abused children. What, through does the Bible teach? It plainly states: “Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men… will inherit God’s kingdom.” (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10) Do you know of religions that condone immoral sex?

While many evangelicals are shying away from this issue due to social pressure and “tolerance,” I find it ironic that [tag]Jehovah’s Witnesses[/tag] are making it loud and clear in their outreach material, of all places. I’m not really sure what to think about this.

    The Jehovah’s Witnesses pride themselves on not shying away from issues when they feel the need to take a stand for the Bible. Either they truly believe that the end is very very near, or the WatchTower Society wants the members to believe it. This tract is part of a special compaign being carried out worldwide.

    Hey Chris, read your review on the tract at your site. Thanks for your input.
