Same here.

I believe in freedom of religion for all, but that does not mean I give
up my right to defend the truth and expose false teachings. The main
point is that you use false teachings to try and condemn those like
myself who have server honorably in the military. I don't like it.
I'd like to know more about how you served honorably in the military. I'm sure its fascinating and possibly illuminating.

No, that is not the point I was making. They chose a controversial name
deliberately to conflict with the Christian denominations, who were exalting
the name of Jesus the Christ. If I had realized that you were going to view
it that way I would have left that last question out. My point was that they
fight against other Christians denominations. They ...[text shortened]... of their dogma that opposes
Christianity.

I wish I had all your wonderful words of wisdom printed out on a long, long sheet of paper, then I could roll them up and hang them in my toilet.

That way they would have some use.

We all make mistakes. I forgive yours. How about you forgiving mine.

Well, whether you feel the need to exhibit basic common decency towards me or not is irrelevant. Your bluster does not disguise the fact that you are using a circular argument, i.e. you say they are not Christians because you say that Christians are not like they are.

I would've thought "common decency towards you" was relevant, or so your posts would imply.

You miss the point. RJHinds issuing mild insults does not alter the fact that he's using a circular argument to condemn JWs as "Satanic".

I saw that point too.

RJHinds stance on spiritual things is quite unspiritiual ,imo a lot of the time.
Downright unreasonable at times. But as I remember when I tried to start a new thread about such posting, my reputation to do so at all was called into question by yourself...
So I guess I should let you dish out the karma since I am not qualified to do so like you ...

I am not "dishing out karma". I am simply disagreeing with RJHinds about his posts.

I didn't think you had enough credibility to start that thread. Would you have preferred if I'd said that I did think you had enough credibility even if it wasn't true?

It does not matter if it is a circle, a triangle, or a square. What matters is
that it is the truth. They deny the Christian doctrines from the past that
came about a long time before the Jehovah's Witnesses came into existence.
That makes them anti-christian.

P.S. Did you read this reference. It may help you understand. However,
I doubt you really want to understand. You seem to be looking for a point
to argue.
