I don't know where you're from, but I guess an American version would be "tied for first place". |

Then I would have to answer, "not . . . really." All are based on fairy tales and a willful neglect of history, science, and, sadly, their own texts and development.
Except for the Episcopalians . . . we always forget the Episcopalians [He will not get that reference.--Ed.] I know . . . I know. . . .
The critical issue is how dangerous such uncritical thinking is. Certainly, the JW have a rather dangerous idea regarding blood transfusions. However, in the United States, this has been solved at least for minors. If adults wish to die based on a misunderstanding that is rather their business, tragic though it be. This is, perhaps, less dangerous than sects that handle snakes, preach prayer over medicine or advocate the suppression of the rights of others.

They definitely seem to be one of the more sexist sects of Christianity. |

There are only two types of religious people, the deceivers and the deceived. SS |
