   Then why are you always speaking of the cross. If you were right and everyone   
   else including history is wrong, then you should be talking of Christ on a   
   stick, always.   
      
   You claim all scripture is corrupted but yours, yet you use 'corrupted   
   scriptures' to make you points and support your dogma, what a hypocrite to your   
   stated beliefs. Why do you not walk according to your beliefs? As we all see   
   the JW as wolves in sheep's clothing.   
      
   You claim to be Jehovahs witnesses, you claim that Jehovah and Jesus are   
   different, that one is a God the other is not. Yet you cannot shut up about the   
   man Jesus, and using him as the focus point of being a 'christian' and thereby   
   shunning Jehovah as you witness for Christ and HIS Kingdom.   
      
   You all are nothing but pinwheels, spinning at every wind of doctrine.
