You said:
>No, you are wrong. I was raised in one of the "many" groups you suggest and it is all hellfire teaching or going to heaven.

Fundamentalists of any ilk are dangerous to mental health, perhaps you have some deep NEED for a group to take over your decisions for you?

>Nothing is consistant with these people and again probably seen the reasoning after speaking with a Jehovah's Witness.

They are free to disagree about doctrines that don't affect salvation. Paul said, "I preach only Christ crucified". Outside of the commands to "love God with our whole being" and "love our neighbor as ourselves" their is no vital Christian doctrine. All else is just a side show for interesting discussion.
What you ignore is how the Jdubs use the carrot/stick on you in the form of paradise/armageddon instead of heaven/hell as the fundies do.

>We are the leaders in this way of thinking.

What thinking?

>Compare 6 million to a congregation scattered in opinion of maybe in the thousands. That probably wouldn't include all, because of their particular off shoots or opinion of the preacher.

Hmmm, 6 million who do not partake of the emblems in a ceremony of refusal to follow Christ's example.
A small congo that partakes of the emblems on Memorial have more Christians than 6 million Jdubs.
