Another example of a religion poisoning the minds of the ignorant and naive.

If only there was something we could teach children, youth, and adults so that they could analyze the veracity of such claims.

And on what grounds can you dismiss their claims? Or are you forced to admit that their beliefs are valid as any other religious beliefs?

1) Implicitly: That all stories of the Bible are true.

2) Explicitly: That their interpretation of the Bible is correct.

Where do you see those on the pamphlet pictured in the OP?

...and since when do Jehovah's Witnesses use the bible?

Where do you think Jehovah's witnesses get their theology, Jerry?

Perhaps you should read about what their beliefs are before trolling further.

Be that as it may, how does that address what Scourge wrote?

I am under no illusions that various Christian sects often view each other in harsh light, but just because Baptists consider JW's to be nuts (not that I disagree with them) doesn't make Scourge's comments wrong. Granted, Scourge went too far when he implied that JW represents Christianity, but this is clearly one example of a religious interpretation going well off the deep end.

Yeah... I don't usually say things like this much, but **** the Jehovah's Witness religion. If I could, I'd personally burn the Watchtower headquarters to the ground. They are one of the slickest brainwashing outfits the world has ever seen. I have nothing but pity for anyone who is a witness.
