Every Wind Of Doctrine.

It is a serious matter to represent God and Christ in one way, then find that our understanding of the major teachings and fundamental doctrines of the Scriptures was in error, and then after that, to go back to the very doctrines that, by years of study, we had thoroughly determined to be in error. Christians cannot be vacillating - 'wishy-washy' - about such fundamental teachings. What confidence can one put in the sincerity or judgment of such persons? --The Watchtower, May 15, 1976, page 298.

Jehovah's Witnesses, Worlds Most Successful Network Marketing Company?

I think that most people are familiar with that door knocking cult the Jehovah's witnesses, their persistence is a topic for much humour and sometimes anger and frustration as well. Anyone who has actually stood and talked with these people on the doorstep or even invited them in, will know that they come across as generally decent people, ( which in most cases is certainly true) and that they appear to have a very deep knowledge and understanding of the bible. However talk with them long enough and those who have also experienced the sales pitch from an Amway salesman ( or any other network marketing group ) will begin to see a startling similarity. So this raises a question, what if anything are they trying to sell?
