So I reason: if God is cutting slack to the JWs for their error, why is he not cutting slack to other religions too since they are all wrong in varying degrees?
LHG:
I so agree with this comment. JW's say that they have the "truth" and that Jehovah is directing them. Then when they get something wrong and you say something they look at you all crazy eyed and say "Well, they are just imperfect men."
I say, well, if that is true for the JW's then it must be true for the Pope and any other religious leader that says they are directed by God.
I agree that all religions have some false teachings in them. The decision then lies with each person to decide if they can live with the false teachings. If you want to be involved in religion then fine, enjoy it and get what you need out of it.
When I first left, I wanted all of the answers, I was looking for the real "Truth". I wanted answers from everyone on how to live my life, wanted to be told what is right and what is wrong. Then, I came to the decision that I didn't need anyone or any religion to guide me. I would do the best that I could on my own. Others have chosen to follow a religion whether it be Christian or non-christian. To each his own. You have to do what works for you.
