This questioner's shameful misrepresentations abound.
This questioner continues to reveal a dastardly campaign to demean and disparage Jehovah's Witnesses. True Christians (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) well recognize that Christ never authorized Christians to focus on such smarmy invective. Instead, Christ Jesus specifically commanded his followers to perform a global campaign to share "the good news".
(Romans 16:17) Keep your eye on those who cause divisions and occasions for stumbling contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and avoid them.
(2 Corinthians 4:4-6) The god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers
(Philippians 2:14-15) In among a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you are shining as illuminators in the world
(1 Timothy 6:3-5) If any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, he is puffed up with pride, not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words. From these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions, violent disputes about trifles on the part of men corrupted in mind and despoiled of the truth
Most readers will have experienced one (or many) of the seven million Witness ministers knocking on their door hoping to discuss the bible's resurrection hope, or coming paradise earth. That is the type of loving message which concerns "the good news of the Kingdom".

I don't know, I don't know what you do say about us.
But, calling us "cults" and saying you "combat" us, well, that says a lot abouto you. What is it that you feel you must go into combat against us? What did we ever do to you? Wy do you believe that people are so stupid that they can't tell for themsevles if we are right or not?
Why don't you spend yoru time telling everyone about the gospel of jesus Christ, rathe than running around yelling/swearing/cursing etc. crapping on someone else's faith, and tell people about the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ!
You do realize that, the more you crap on our faith, the more people are going to be checking it out! They know what tey're doing. The youngest is 16.

The answers to any question does not lay outside, you have all the answers inside, take a look, really deep and you will find your answer. I am Buddhist, and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo which means devotion to the Mystic Law of the Universe through life, sound and teachings. This Mystic Law is also known as the law of Cause and Effect. The truth is manifested in ones life. I used to be catholic, and really loved to read about the Acts of Jesus, but I did not see much of those acts among the Christian practitioners, Jesus loved everyone, and was so ever forgiving. When I first was introduced to Nichiren Dishonin's Buddhism, I realized that this Philosophy was teaching us to put in practice through the words, the thoughts, and actions of the of this humble Buddhist Monk what the Original Buddha was teaching, which, in my own ignorance was what Jesus was perpetuating. All religions have some truth, and all talk about love, it is up to us to learn to love. I have learned to love 100 times more the one who want to hurt me, simply because they are pushing me at strengthening myself and defeat my own weakness, which are nurtured by my own ego and the working my own mind. If other criticize you, but you, within your life feel you are in the correct path, you should not ask why. I used to suffer because other used to criticize me, and had feeling of guilt any time I though I did something wrong, now I feel that I cannot change anyone, I cannot make them think what I want them to think, I can only change me, and be the master of my own mind. I find that because of my faith in the Law of Cause and Effect (the Lotus Sutra) I am much happier, even in the mist of deep struggles. The mind makes everything. I find a philosophy that help me find the hope I need to keep up and never give up, and I want to share it with anyone I come in contact. The wonderful thing about this is that we don't have to change who we are, or pretend to be anyone else only because others expect us to be so. Since you have attended study group of Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons, I invite you to learn more about Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism at www.sgi-usa.org and if I may suggest, read about the Mutual Possession of the Ten World, as well as Bodhisattva Never Disparaging. Two excellent books I recommend are The Buddha In Your Mirror and The Buddha In Daily Life, among many others.

Proving Slander is very hard.
Especially if they're threatening to report you, while posting to eCommunities or Usenet groups. Contrary to popular belief there's no right to freedom of (or from) speech, on any "opt in" group. In other words, a group you register, and by doing so, agree to abide by the rules set forth by the group owner.
..Though it is possible, keeping in mind that even the most learned and well versed investigators can be swayed by circumstance. And one man's "truth" can be another mans defamation.

I'm not trying to be rude, but wouldn't you be better off teaching YOUR church's doctrine instead of one you think you know? And as far as I am aware, no one can lead anyone anywhere, they have to do it of their own free will. So I'm afraid you've wasted many years trying to prove to yourself that you're right.

Here is one thought. I'm agnostic, yet I'm human enough to let each have their own. It's nobodies place to claim, or judge that another's beliefs are untrue, false, etc. Live and let live as a human should do, or is that out of your understanding? If one persons belief is wrong, thats on them, and the end will reveal to that person what the game really is......or am I the only sucker that thinks this way?......
Have a good day Brother.

If Jehovah wills it, I can.
Instead of focusing your life on trying to discredit someone else, why not work on your own relationship with Jehovah, God? Find out what God requires of YOU.
33 When they heard this, they felt deeply cut and were wanting to do away with them. 34 But a certain man rose in the San´he·drin, a Pharisee named Ga·ma´li·el, a Law teacher esteemed by all the people, and gave the command to put the men outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel, pay attention to yourselves as to what YOU intend to do respecting these men. 36 For instance, before these days Theu´das rose, saying he himself was somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined his party. But he was done away with, and all those who were obeying him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him Judas the Gal·i·le´an rose in the days of the registration, and he drew off people after him. And yet that man perished, and all those who were obeying him were scattered abroad. 38 And so, under the present circumstances, I say to YOU, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is from God, YOU will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, YOU may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”

because they are just that.....cults. They seek to control and show they're control by making people door knock etc. I am not a christian but I too have done the countless research and love to have them in for a 'chat' so I can point out the numerous contradictions in they're thinking. I think the real fact is as simple.......god is everywhere, you don't need a building or a faith.

Because that's what zealots do when others start threatening their beliefs. Just like the Christian Coalition, the Moral Majority, and Focus on the Family when they start squawking at anyone who wants to keep religious indoctrination out of public institutions.

There are some that would think your belief is a cult. I find it amazing that some cannot let others choose for themselves the beliefs they would live by.
