Someone very close to me made an analogy that people can be split into three categories based on their interactions with others:
'transmitters' 'receivers' and 'transceivers' I would say that 'Goodlife' is a transmitter.
Fundamentally (no joke intended!) there is no difference between JW’s and other religions. Any ardent follower and believer of fairy-tails (a more appropriate name for religion) will defend their belief with the most improbable “evidence” and claim that their particular version of this fairy-tail is the only true one. Sadly theists are generally such a closed minded and delusional bunch that there is very little point in trying to get them to listen to reason and facts.
Two quotes that sum this up for me:
“Religion is the opium of the people” - Karl Marx
“Suppose we've chosen the wrong God. Every time we go to church we're just making Him madder and madder.” – Homer Simpson

No. I am me, as to truthabounds, that is for him/her to answer.

Advertising? What advertising? I am not advertising anything.
All I was doing was showing the difference between religions & JWs.
Has anybody noticed that these new, recently invented religions, have all been invented in America ?
Its the same place where 54% of the population have guns and the same percentage think that they may have been visited by aliens....makes you think doesn't it !
Rationalists....rise up ! You have nothing to loose but your chains !
I'm afraid even taking your premise at face value it's incorrect.
The reference is of course about preaching to word of God all over the world
Do you think that Jehovas are the only branch of Christianity to do that? Ever heard of David Livingstone?
He was doing just that before your lot even called themselves jehova's witnesses.
You may not have noticed but Islam's fairly up for a bit of international preaching too!
No what differentiates JWs is that rather odd "soul sleep" idea, there are others that reject the notion of the trinity and think the end of the world is coming .
Apart from that you're a rather run-of-the-mill sect with about the same number of followers as the population of London.
Odd isn't it? Over 100 years of preaching and still only about 8 million followers - 100 years after Mohammed's death and Islam was dominant from Spain to Afghanistan.
Almost as if God doesn't want people to follow you isn't it?
// 100 years after Mohammed's death and Islam was dominant from Spain to Afghanistan. //
If you want to get involved in trading with Arabs you will need to be a Muslim because we only trade with Muslims. If you are not a Muslim we just take your stuff and trade nothing.

Oh come on, Jake! Be fair! JWs often intrude where they're not wanted, but they don't carry swords. ;o)
I don't think Goodlife is Truthabounds - although their posts may be coming from the same source - but I think Goodlife was our long-departed friend Elderman, and maybe one or two others.
OK, here's a couple of questions, goodlife; please bear in mind the 9th Commandment.
Whether in real life or cyberspace only, do you know TruthRebounds other than from posts made on Answerbank? If so, in what capacity do you know that poster?
