You’ve done nothing to show there is widespread hatred, as opposed to annoyance, for JWs. I get that it supports your belief that persecution means you’re right, but a few isolated incidents (and, your claim to the contrary, that’s exactly what they are - most cases of violence in the U.S. I could find by Googling happened in the 1940s and prior) do not equal any kind of concentrated attack. If you can come up with any cite showing this is a major issue, bring it.

Also, since you’re apparently “done” in the other thread, I’ll just put my response to your post from there right here:

> No, I’m pissed that parents could let their children die based on some ill-informed quack belief made up by people who can’t even get the date of Armageddon right.

Do I hate JWs? No. But I think things like this make them some evil motherfuckers.
