Christians from political left and right sign 'Civility Covenant'
by daniel-p in(cnn) -- a group of more than 100 prominent christians ranging from evangelical minister jim wallis on the political left to nixon white house aide chuck colson on the right released a document thursday calling for an end to the fight club tone of the national political discourse.. called the "civility covenant," the document says that churches have too often "reflected the political divisions of our culture rather than the unity we have in the body of christ.".
"members of congress have been calling me saying 'it's never been as bad as it is now, but we can't do much about it because we're not credible to a lot of americans,'" said wallis, who leads the progressive group sojourners.
"they said to the faith community, 'please help us.'".

of course, the jw's do not directly threaten others as these fundamentalists do, but they threaten in an oblique way; by using their interpretation of the bible with the imminent threat of armageddon.
here are the words from the video:
