After reading the answers just now to purplepeaces question, it seemed that everyone had taken leave of their senses, and its funny that reading the answers about mormons, both the JWs and moonies came to mind as well.

Achtung Thanks for your comments, I didnt know that the JWs were on such good terms with the Mormons. Seeing as your organisation regard all of Christendom as being the Harlot that rides the scarlet beast as described in revelations.

"debate"?
Neither Jehovah's Witnesses nor Mormons believe in debating for the sake of debating. Mormonism does not claim to be based on the bible, and Jehovah's Witnesses reject all post-biblical "holy writings", so it seems that the two religions have less common ground than outsiders might assume.
Of course, Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses are both self-described Christians. The religions resemble each other in very superficial ways, but their theologies are markedly different.
As individuals, many Witnesses note that adherents of Mormonism have a reputation for neighborliness and godly love which is too uncommon among self-described Christians.
(John 13:34-35) I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”
It is also true that Mormonism has managed to recognize a few of the obvious bible truths that continue to evade most of Christendom, such as recognizing that Jesus the Son is a distinct person from God the Father.
(Mark 13:32) Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father.
(John 20:17) Jesus said to her: “...For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’”
Also, it is interesting that only Jehovah's Witness and Mormonism have any real program of lay-ministry in which every adherent is encouraged to preach.
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded
Jehovah's Witnesses work to spread the Good News about the Kingdom of God, and so that is the focus of their message; they do not work at targeting any specific religion. Of course, "Mormonism" is not a single religion, but the so-called 'Latter-day Saints' tolerance of holiday celebrations, warfare, and nationalism are among the beliefs which Jehovah's Witnesses feel are incompatible with true worship.
It seems best to allow Mormons themselves to describe the uniqueness of their beliefs regarding various post-biblical holy writings, modern-day literal prophesy, the correlation between the physical and spirit realms, and the various levels of grandeur in heaven.

so a procedures as "Christian-run communities" who're dedicated to monitoring cults are in contact, what provides them the best to make certain who's or isn't a cult? in fact, in case you do no longer settle for the doctrines that they do, they vilify you with a label designed to scare others away. That way they shop their own club. Sociologists and psychologists do no longer define JWs or Mormons as cults. Cults have very severe practices like depriving individuals of nutrition and sleep. They persist with a residing chief and individuals habit their conferences is secrecy and stay aside from society. using the be conscious cult is a derogatory positioned-down and non secular people throw that be conscious around traditionally than atheists and could be embarrassed approximately themselves for it.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not seek to "win" any debates or arguments. Our commission is to preach the good news of God's Kingdom and clear up any misunderstandings about God, the Bible and the Witnesses. If anyone does not want to accept our message, we move on.

Well my debating skills are pretty good. I'm sure I could do a good job of making the others look stupid whether I was right or wrong.

This questioner reveals an insincerity in his question and subsequent updates. Achtung_heiss provides a clear, informative, and respectful answer to your question and yet you ridicule his response. Many on this forum who call themselves "Christian" and still continue to berate, mock, and belittle others' answers would do well to consider what this reveals about them.

Depends upon what the debate is about and you don't say. If Christianity then none of them because they are all convinced that they are right.
