Jehovah's Witnesses unwitting defenders of social freedom?

In an era of "values voters" in which an ardent battle waged by the religious right to limit citizen's social freedoms, it is fascinating to look at the example of Jehovah's Witnesses. They are moral conservatives who stay out of politics and the Culture War, but have won a record number of court cases expanding freedom for everyone. The documentary Knocking examines the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and the advances they have (often unintentionally) made on behalf of all citizens in the arenas of religious, medical, and ideological freedom. A particularly poignant segment looks at the Witnesses in Nazi Germany, where they were given the choice to fight for Hitler or go to the concentration camps - and chose the camps.

  • There is a lot of information that people don't know about them. And what they do know they use to 'hate' on them.

    Understanding is far more better than accusing and being judgmental for the rights they fight to keep no only help them but help others as well, and they do so without seeing publicity.
