I've always believed that god exists in all churchs, mosques, temples, shrines, homes, people and sparrows. He is everywhere and anywhere the hearts and minds take him. Or leave him. Ever elusive, logically inconclusive, he walks within and with out a home of any size or design. He likely also knows the relative airspeed velocity of a laden european swallow, but we only have unconfirmed reports at this time.
Even the KKK churches and Jonestown?

If they say they believe in god, who can say otherwise?

Indeed, you don't.However, if you have family, it is nice to talk to them and meet up once in a while :)
4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
No person can function well on their own as they have limited functionality. For example, prophecy isn't my biggest gifting and if I had stayed at home I would have missed some awesome and encouraging prophetic words that have been given to me through others.
Surely the WT have robbed Christians of enough already?

DD emphasizes God's justice, and how much greater it is than ours.
Wouldn't you agree that emphasizing God's justice is a loving thing to do?
It could be. :-)

It could be. :-)
Only if you believe in God's justice.
DD:
You've still not ripped BTS a new one over this statement:
We are God's children, all of us. He knew every one of us from the beginning of Time.
He loves us, he is callingus all home.
What kind of feel-good Universalist nonesense is that? A just God doesn't love Satan's children and he certainly isn't calling them home.

OK I'll start the pillow fight.

It's called Catholicism
