You have to remember that their belief is much of the same stuff you believe and your differences are really a matter of semantics or interpretation (of a translation). They are much closer to you philosophically than me. I however, am quite content to let them believe their myths just like you believe your myths. The difference between you and them is minuscule, IMO. The level of disagreement between your ranks and that of the Mormons, Church of Christ and other extreme factions of Christianity appears to outsiders, such as myself, to be largely one of subtleties.

Reread my post I was talking about JW's WE were discussing your denial of my assertion that you had judged the God of the JW's. I showed the direct quote that you had judged the JW God. You have denied it again, so I will rephrase it. Here is your quote: "They still deny the trinity, still deny a physical resurrection, still deny that Jesus is God" Now it seems to me that you are making very pointed comments about the JW God. What you said is just above these words; It is absolutely clear, and not in any sense vague, or admitting of confusion. Not only do you judge their God as being different...but the comments and tone make it clear that you think their God to be conceived in error. If you are consistent, then I think further that I can interpret your judgement to include a belief that these people will go to hell, unless they learn to look at Christ (God) in a different light. You were talking about the God that these two JW's believed in, and you found their conception to be wholly inadequate. For once, I agree with you--but only to the exact point.
