The Theocratic War Stategy (Jehovah's Witnesses)

[Abraham said to Sarah]: Say, I pray thee , thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. -- Genesis 12:13

Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. -- Genesis 20:2

And the men of the place asked him [Isaac] of his wife [Rebekah] ; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon. -- Genesis 26:7

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Mt.7:6

Lying is OK if the lying is directed towards God's enemies (non-JWs). This is called the Theocratic War Strategy.
