the "Truth" about "The Truth" - the Watchtower

The Watchtower's Secret Manual for Elders

"The Watchtower defines the religious act of apostasy as promoting "false doctrines, supporting or promoting false religion and its holidays or interfaith activities" (Pay Attention..., p. 94). The Society defines the support of false religion as not only the practice of another religion, but also working for any organization involved with a religious group (pp. 94-95).

In addition to this infraction, "Owning images and pictures used in false religion" is considered idolatry and can result in disfellowshipping (p. 95).

Little religious artwork or iconography (with the exception of the calendar sold by the Society) is found in Witness homes."
