They Must Be Looking In The Mirror When They Say This . . .

The Independent reported recently that the Jehovah's Witnesses' publication, The Watchtower, has taken to branding apostates of the religion as "mentally diseased." The Independent reports:

An article published in July's edition of The Watchtower warns followers to stay clear of "false teachers" who are condemned as being "mentally diseased" apostates who should be avoided at all costs. "Suppose that a doctor told you to avoid contact with someone who is infected with a contagious, deadly disease," the article reads. "You would know what the doctor means, and you would strictly heed his warning. Well, apostates are 'mentally diseased', and they seek to infect others with their disloyal teachings."

The irony of anyone related to Charles T. Russell's cult accusing ANYONE else of being "mentally diseased" is almost too good to be true. Keep in mind, this is the same organization that repeatedly prophecies the end of the world, only to have to repeatedly move the date further ahead when the "end" fails to come. Isn't there an expression we use for people who persistently fail at an activity, yet keep doing the same thing expecting different results? Oh, right, "mentally diseased."
