If the bible says love thou neighbor and someone is putting your neighbor in cattle cars and sending them death camps and you don't try and stop it, you are part of it. Jws baby sitting SS kids and providing free labour to the third Reich really isn't as christian as they would like to believe.
Jw to me are literally a mockery of Christianity. Salvation though works, denying the deity of christ, only seven men enter into the new convenant . The Kh to me sometimes feels like a Slayer concert.
Yes its is an inferior form of Christianity but a superior form of charlatanism, its almost like it has a publishing house at its central core operation.
Why would that be so, Paul?
Aren't all religions " True" ?
Paul,
Mr. Campos had a lot more in his email to say, but I shortened it. He mentioned, however, the anti-Jewish proselytizing that the JWs have been doing among his people.
It was rather lengthy, and we discussed that the part should probably be cut for brevity, but reading your comment makes me think I should have included it.
What you are likely unaware of is that Witnesses demand Jews who show interest to leave behind their culture, dress, and customs in exchange for the western-Gentile ones. None of the Jewish customs are pagan, and the first century Jewish Christians like the apostle Paul observed Jewish traditions and law. (Acts 21.17-26) JWs do not transcend cultural barriers but demand people's to abandon anything and everything that is not Watchtower, telling people that their own customs are evil. What you call transcending is actually destruction.
Paul do you realize that the Catholic religion has 1.2 billion members all over the world.

Too bad most of that interest was stirred up by false misleading teachings opposed to the correct and accurate teachings of Christianity.
Paul,
What do you think of the blood doctrine?
And how do you fit the prodigal son example with the religion's take on shunning, holding secret judicial committees etc.
Just interested.
