Frankyglitz - In response to your post about JW's (about a post that I responded to) - sorry for posting it here, but I wanted to make sure that you received it. First of all, to be a Christian, you would not go and be rude to people. Second of all, obviously you are one of the people who have misconceptions about us. It's all true what you stated! I don't disagree with you one bit. That's exactly what the bible says. I'm glad that you know what we believe in, too bad you didn't realize that the bible says that. We base everything solely on the Bible. We do believe that heaven exsists (the bible mentions where God and his angels and others -will- live in heaven) and it also states that hell is just the ground, no it does not state that hell is a fiery place of torment - certainly a loving God would not provide that! Yes, the devil was one of God's sons. He made millions of angels (and it just so happen that one of them became the opposer and the deceiver). True, we are widely accepted as a cult, thanks to the devil "blinding the minds of the unbelievers" and "transforming himself into an angel of light". Do you know what a cult even is? It's a religion that is said to be unorthodox or that emphasizes devotion according to prescribed ritual. Cults follow a living human leader, JW's follow Christ. We do not isolate ourselves from the rest of society. We live and work in the midst of other people. Maybe you should look into it further before you go accusing others without proof.

Yeah, you can corrupt your mind. The body is also corruptible. You can sin with your mind, by thinking things that you aren't supposed to. Is in the Bible, Jesus says that if you look at a women and you want her is the same thing as fornication. You can corrupt your mind by looking at pornogrography and things like that.

Absolutely. Whatever the mind is exposed unto, that may indeed corrupt it, and corrupt it without redemption.

Very much so. Money, power, etc. can very easily corrupt the strongest of minds.
