See, this is the problem with your claim to honesty. You make confident
denials like this, as if you've never done any such thing. Then you
REPEAT exactly what I claimed you did (your own words from below):

You speak out of both sides of your self-deluded mouth. When you agree
with what the Bible says, you INSIST that the Bible MUST mean ONLY the
EXACT WORD THE BIBLE ITSELF SAYS. For example, you INSIST that "staurus"
MUST be understood EXCLUSIVELY as meaning "pole", and that it CANNOT
allow for a cross-beam (patibulum) being attached to it, because it
doesn't say "cross-beam", but only "pole". You argue to the effect that
"no amount of reasoning" that comes from outside of the Bible can change
that. THEN, when you DON'T like what the Bible says (such as when the
Bible says people can "believe" a "lie"), you INSIST that ONLY the
secular definition of "lie" which you agree with matters.
YOU may be SELF-DELUDED into seeing this as consistent and honest. I
have been disabused of your self-deceit. I refuse to play along with
your TWISTED, HYPOCRITICAL LIES.

And there it is. Right in the post where he claims he "never" said any
such thing, he REPEATS his claim to the effect that
1) "Jehovah's Witnesses" proclaim "Jehovah's kingdom" [a lie], and
2) "No one else today is doing that" [another lie]
therefore (implied) "Jehovah's Witnesses must be Gods' servants.
Lies. They do NOT proclaim the gospel that Paul and the apostles
proclaimed (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), but a different message which Paul
said is an "accursed" and "other" gospel (Galatians 1:8-9).

Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God
raised Him from the dead?
That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death
penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death
satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John
2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your
sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.
On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on
the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name
of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
