"Anti-intellectualism among millenarians and Bible Literalists is a
recurrent phenomenon, but no other religious movement in America ever
has been as programatically set against its intellect as are Jehovah's
Witnesses. The Fundamentalist majority wing of the Southern Baptist
Convention are devotees of pure reason compared to Jehovah's Witnesses."
[Harold Bloom, The American Religion, pg. 162 >>

Hey, do you have this one too?
"Though there are a number of rather savage apocalyptic
scenarios current among American Fundamentalists, I am
aware of none quite so inhumane as the Jehovah's Witnesses'
accounts of the End of our Time. There is something peculiarly
childish in these Watchtower yearnings: they remind me of
why very small children cannot be left alone with wounded
and suffering household pets." --Harold Bloom, The American
Religion, pg. 169-170.
I have read this book but it only gives the JW's a couple of pages
which is really all they deserve.
