: You see the flaws of religion? - Why do you expect us to be any different? Are we not all sinners?

We don't expect you to be any different. Yours is just another religion in need of reform and positive change, like so many.

One such necessary reform should be the eradication of the shunning policy. When do you think the Watchtower will dissolve the practice of shunning ex-JWs, Trond? That'd go a long way towards relieving the Watchtower organization of the burden of criticism from people like myself.

: There is a difference. The fire of Hell is put out. The classic trinity doctrine is dead. The soul becomes dust.

Several Christian religions have been denying those basic tenets of traditional Christianity for quite some time. Charles Russell promoted these anti-Christendom teachings in a large way, but remember, Charles Russell wasn't a Jehovah's Witness. And never would be.

: The work of uniting peaceful people from all around the world continues

And Jehovah's Witnesses are hardly unique in this regard. Don't forget that a person must vow much more than simply recognizing the singularity of God, the mortality of the soul, and the command to "love thy neighbor" in order to qualify for the JW version of Christian baptism.
