   They, in many instances, declare what is written in English is to be   
   interpreted exactly as written, not considering the context in which it was   
   written, not what the original language meant. Such as thou shalt not   
   “kill” old English which at that time meant to murder with intent. Today   
   that word is translated as ‘murder’.   
      
   Here, using the style of the JW when discussing scripture is another such   
   instance, done so in the style of the way they mangle the truth of   
   Ecclesiastes.   
      
   Support the homosexuals and do so by placing them at the front in all their   
   gatherings, and do so because in James is says to do so.   
      
   Jas 2:3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say   
   unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou   
   there, or sit here under my footstool:   
      
   There again is an excellent example of them misunderstanding the bible   
   because the pull a verse out of scripture, to construe a “JW truth”   
   totally ignoring both the word ‘Gay’ as to its meaning, as well as   
   pulling the verse totally out of the context in which it was written.   
      
   Look at the chapter yourself, look at the context of the chapter, then take a   
   Webster dictionary written before 1875 AD and see what the word “Gay”   
   actually meant.   
      
   This is how one should take their so-called biblical truths and deconstruct   
   them to put them into what God actually meant. Of course there is a better   
   way, and that would be to be dependent on Jesus as our source of salvation,   
   and our deliverer, to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth, rather   
   than be dependent totally upon men, and their traditional beliefs.   
      
   Know why there are so many religions that war against one another? It is   
   because Satan as taken a foothold in the minds of men who declare they are   
   the ones who know the truth, the best way, and so divisiveness and   
   contentiousness is the rule of the day and brotherly love takes a back seat   
   to all of them, then that eventually leads them into cultism and as a   
   consequence they now live in self-righteousness and not the gift of the   
   Righteousness of God the Heavenly Father.
