My deconversion story - Long

Of all the Christian groups I've researched over the last 30 years, the group that comes the closest - and by a very big margin - to the qualities one would expect of followers of Christ is the Jehovah's Witnesses. Having spent some time getting to know their interpretation of Scripture, and having attended many Kingdom Hall meetings, it is clear to me that they are rather free of the prejudices, homophobia, bigotries, that seem to infect so much of Christendom. They're also kind, patient, loving, understanding, qualities missing from so much of Christendom. I'm not surprised that they're much maligned by the rest of Christendom.

Thinking
The interesting thing about Truth is that Truth is still Truth even if the devil speaks it. The interesting thing about Lies is that Lies are still Lies even if God speaks them.
