  what is a cult and what is a religion?

  its open to debate.

  @stuffwhatifink I dont think you have read my earlier posts, ive explained wht i meant by that
  

  I did.
  You did not. (Unless I misunderstand you)
  
  Quoting something Jebus said does not demonstrate that your understanding or "interpretation" is the "true" one. The argument as to the bible's "True meaning" is hardly over, hence sects and denominations...
  
  And as I asked before (the formatting is odd on that page, perhaps you missed it), do you not consider the GB to be a composite charismatic leader?

  But I am still of the opinion that a person would actually bring this on themselves down to false interpretation of the religion they follow.
  

  Can you please explain the true interpretation? You could clear up a great deal of fuss, all over the globe, if you know.
  
  There are no "False" interpretations unless you have reason to believe there is a set objective message to that bibliography of conflicting religious texts?
  Can you elaborate the "True" interpretation? If not you can't call others' interpretations "False".

  Ignoring the fact that you and I don't find the GB all that charismatic:
  
  Do you not think that the GB is just a composite cult leader?

  Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

  do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

  even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

  the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

  Nono, I made a sweeping statement. You are very correct to come along and point out that you know someone who doesn't fit what I said.
  
  I didn't mean to seem cagey about accepting the correction.
  "Even the staunchest", implies all. Something I should have avoided doing.

  Grats on the biology degree.
  I'll take the correction about terms used by your biology lecturer.
  
  It wouldn't make any difference to what I was actually saying, just how I said it.
  But, I shall be more specific in future and avoid "apparent purpose", when speaking of teleonomy... Perhaps I'll get a little Dawkins and use neo-purpose in future, the point would remain the same.

  I believe you will find my new name is ShortStuff.
  Me and my tiny penis rather like the moniker.
  
  Thank you for the welcome.

  "Teleonomic design" is not an anthropomorphic term.

  Oh noes!!
  viv doesn't value my imput, I don't think I can cope. Her opinion is so important to my self worth... How ever will I deal with the scorn of a dishonest dogmatist?
  
  You add far, far less than I, to this thread.
