  Look at who the kettle [Southern Baptist expert on sects and cults] is calling the pot [JWs] black. He comes from the same lineage of prophetic purveyors of nonsense.

  JOHN GILL (1697-1771): Ordained in 1718, and thoroughly versed in Hebrew and Latin, Gill was an eminent Baptist expositor on prophecy. He held that the millennium will be bounded by the two literal, corporeal resurrections, and the eternal kingdom is to be on earth, not in heaven. He lectured extensively on the year-day principle of prophetic time prophecies from Daniel and Revelation calculating that certain year-days mentioned therein would close at the end of the sixth millennium cleansing the church from all corruption.

  Baptists should be embarrassed to call out anyone.

  Southern Baptists are as much a cult as JW's, so it is a case of the Pot calling the Kettle black.

  cantleave - "Southern Baptists are as much a cult as JW's, so it is a case of the Pot calling the Kettle black."

  Southern Baptists and mainstream Baptists are two different things; mainstream Baptism is actually pretty liberal. MLK was mainstream Baptist.

  The SBC broke away from them when they went progressive.

  Interesting comments - didn't realize they were about as bad as JWs. I grew up in a Baptist Church (not Southern) and have fond memories of great Easter egg hunts, chocolate candy, etc., summer swimming/picnics and potlucks. It was fun at xmas time, too. Recall negative words about Catholics but this was many moons ago. Seems they didn't like dancing/drinking but all the teens did their own thing anyway.

  Except for the initial blurbs about the Trinity, holy spirit and what power Jesus has, they seemed to do pretty good research on JW doctrine regarding the prrdictions. It would be interesting if they did the same amount of research on their own doctrine.
