Say what you will about the JW's theology, they stood their ground under the Nazis. When (unlike the Jews) they could have escaped by renouncing their faith, they instead remained true even in the concentration camps.

Compare that to the millions of "German Christians" - Protestants who found they could easily reconcile putting the swastika up next to the cross.

I think this is a silly argument. The Communist partisans also bravely fought the Nazis. Is that now our standard of theological truth - if so, then militant, class warfare atheism is awfully Christian.

The JW religion is NOT a Protestant belief system. It is much older than that - it is a recapitulation of a 1st century heresy. The church stood firm against its denial of the divinity of Christ back then, and we must do the same today.
