No tanti, show me where and when he last attended a JW meeting. Can you do it? All you have shown me is when he became a Presbyterian.

Here is a pro-JW article. Even IT states that Ida (Ike’s mom) was JW, but we had left many, many years before he ever considered running for POTUS. http://www.seanet.com/~raines/eisenhower.html

So let me ask you this. What constitutes “membership” to you? Did you consider him a member because his mother was a member? Is it because he attended some services as a child. Even though he left the JWs and was shunned by them, you consider his still a JW. It’s a curious thing, my FRiend. The J-dubs didn’t consider him a member. HE didn’t consider himself a member. But you DO. Why?

You are a JW until you officially leave it. You are a Mormon until you officially leave it. Self-identification is irrelevant.

My next question for you is, why are you trying to deny the historical fact that Eisenhower was a JW when he was elected? Does it fly in the face of your insistence that only a mainstream Christian can make a good president?
