Well, "cult" gets thrown around a lot, pretty carelessly IMHO.


Perhaps that is too harsh, and I thought that right after I hit send.
Still, they do have some very controlling ways among their followers. If
not the "C" word, it is close, IMHO.

A lot of people think I belong to a non-Christian "cult" because I do not
accept their idea of the Trinity.


I would have to think that there is a big jump, up to your religion from the
JW.

I do not think that their definition of the Trinity is supported by the
scriptures. So these people call me a cultist, vandalize our churches, and
abuse our missionaries.


Extreemists. There are a lot of them around, unfortunately.

And a lot of these people who dare call me a cultist have never served
their country or done much of anything to preserve freedom other than to
attack my freedoms. If it comes to a choice between the JWs and some
Christian evangelists who, I just might pick the JWs.


Again, extreemists. If they do not allow you your freedom, they are at
fault.

The JWs, at least, are willing to allow me my religious freedom. I cannot
say the same for some evangelists who claim to be patriotic, but who are
unwilling to put either their lives or their actions where their mouths
are.


There are many problems with people who have no flexibility for other
people's views, and are willing to go to extreme measures to take other
people's freedoms away.

Although I may not agree with the JW point of view, and may even label them
with some name, I fully stand behind their right to believe as they want, as
long as they allow others to believe as they may.

When it comes down to it, that is what the whole basis of this country was
founded on. Long may that basis prosper.
