How easily the JW mind flops around. One of the favorite Scriptures they apply to themselves is (NIV):
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
The Greek word here (threskeia) for "religion" is translated in the NWT as "form of worship." What's the difference? And the vast majority of translations, commentaries and lexicons define threskeia as best meaning "religion." Trench (Synonyms of the New Testament) makes some interesting comments (p. 175):
"...we have in threskos...which still more nearly corresponds to the Latin "religiosus," the zealous and diligent performer of the divine offices, of the outward service of God. The word indeed nowhere else occurs in the whole circle of the profane literature of Greece; but...we are in no difficulty about its exact meaning. Threskeia (='cultus,' or perhaps more strictly, 'cultus exterior') is predominantly the ceremonial service of religion..."
Like it or not, by their own admission, the WTS IS a religion, and, what's more, a CULT.
