> If you are referring to JW's here you are quite mistaken. According to my sisters-in-law (who are JW's), I'm not. -- According to my entire extended family on both sides, you are wrong. Also according to the 'literature' (propaganda) they try and pawn off on me, they do indeed call themselves 'christians' and consider themselves to be the only true 'christians' and that everyone else who calls themselves a 'christian' are false 'christians'. Indeed they argue quite vehemently about that whenever anyone tries to suggest that they aren't 'christian'. Indeed JW's are the most likely to believe the bible is the literal Inerrant trvth [*]. * <<http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_jw.html>> ------ " To the religious mind, not being right in advance in all cases is a sign that the basic idea is incorrect. There have been many surprises as we have explored molecular biology - including the taxonomy of plants, the number of EPTs and so on. This is what makes science fundamentally different from religion - the religious world view wants a universe where understanding the principles makes the details merely a matter of explanation back to principles. The scientific world view sees the growth and change of principles in light of new observation and thinking to be the wonder of human discovery.
